It's not for you to get free books. This will be my second BEA. Can't wait to see you!Sanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10710059573451093164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781966284013710689.post-46174920226651303582014-04-05T16:38:57.649-04:002014-04-05T16:38:57.649-04:00Yey, love this!

Also are signings "bring your own book to get signed" or "buy the books here to get signed" or the crazy idea of "here are free books to get signed"?<br /><br />I haven't been great at walking recently so I've actually decided to do a "get into shape for BEA walking" plan, haha. I think it's going to be the best way to motivate myself to get back into passable shape and have a more fun BEA :DAnya @ On Starships and Dragonwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966260114472122150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781966284013710689.post-60749023601882894622014-04-03T13:50:32.791-04:002014-04-03T13:50:32.791-04:00SO TRUE!!!

Thank god, I have friends who are so much more prepared than me. Love the color-coding. <br /><br />And the whole rolling suitcase thing. Didn't do it the first year. Thought, oh, I can handle it. I won't get that many books anyway. Idiot. Brought a small-ish case last year, not wanting to seem greedy. But it filled up SO FAST despite me being careful with my pick-ups. *sigh*<br /><br />And HELLZ to the NO to line jumpers. I'll cut a bitch. Well, not really. But I will give a good death glare and point that person to the end of the line.Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781966284013710689.post-32162635178060820962014-04-03T11:54:03.605-04:002014-04-03T11:54:03.605-04:00Loved this!

So I'll definitely be trying to get as much of a BEA experience as possible from those two days. All the tips around the blogosphere are so helpful!Amy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09469840598932429910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781966284013710689.post-42841985986864077582014-04-03T08:20:37.589-04:002014-04-03T08:20:37.589-04:00Awesome advice Hannah!

I already bombarded Brittany from Book Addict's Guide with a bunch of questions. Lol. But I'm so excited and just want to go in with the main goal of having fun and not getting overwhelmed/overzealous. I'm glad I went to ALA and got a small taste of what BEA will be like (though I do know that it's a LOT bigger and a LOT crazier.)Rebecca @ Unbound Pageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609128581185079525noreply@blogger.com
