I think every book blogger and book lover ...Hooray! I think every book blogger and book lover should experience BEA at least once. I go every year with my mom and absolutely love it! I live in Michigan, so I am super excited for it to be in Chicago this year. 4 hour drive, compared to the 10 hour drive to New York? YES PLEASE! Since I have gone for so many years I do have a lot of information on my blog. Here is my BEA page in case you want tips! http://www.bookbitereviews.com/p/bea-tips.htmlbookbitereviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05060629647694521008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076578325932191793.post-10925384254248614972016-02-24T06:11:08.571-06:002016-02-24T06:11:08.571-06:00OCD who me.... lol.

My main advice is: comfortable shoes!!! It's as exciting/tiring as Disneyland. Bring a rolling suitcase and check it so you can empty out your tote bags through the day. Bring snacks - you may get stuck in a signing line and be starving. And because you're OCD (me too) try to research the signings and drops ahead of time, make a schedule, and then be flexible -sometimes the best things are those you just stumble upon by accident.<br />Good luck and can't wait to hear about it!<br /><a href="http://jenryland.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jen @ YA Romantics</a><br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076578325932191793.post-74149389201744813442016-02-20T04:15:41.028-06:002016-02-20T04:15:41.028-06:00I'm going to BEA for the 3rd time and would lo...I'm going to BEA for the 3rd time and would love to meet up w/ you and/or answer any questions you have. Although since it's never been in Chicago before, I don't think anyone will really know what it's going to be like!!! Hopefully they'll have it super organized because I know it's taken quite a bit of trial and error at Javits in NY for them to work out the kinks... and since this is at a new facility, I have my worries. I'm excited that you guys are going!! I would love to be able to do something like this with my mom... you guys are too cute!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288722022982656753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076578325932191793.post-17142750403077645862016-02-14T10:57:24.211-06:002016-02-14T10:57:24.211-06:00yes we should definitely meet up. we can exchange ...yes we should definitely meet up. we can exchange contact info before.

Sadly, I still have work, but I will for sure be able to attend all day Friday and BookCon on Saturday! I am super excited.

I want to go every year! But I can't afford it. This year it is in the middle of May, and school is still going on. I am trying to see if I can get a press pass to go for free, then I'll see about travel, etc. But I probably won't make it this year. Have a blast!Lisa Mandinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691593776280004137noreply@blogger.com
