That’s right, New York City. At the end of May I’ll be on you like a lion on a gazelle. A commission-only employee on a customer. An ebook reader on a low-priced — scratch that, free — e-book. A reading junkie on an insanely awesome book convention! A…well, you get it.
I’m sure you get these kinds of threats all the time, but never from the Southern U.S. reading opulence that is Lurv a la Mode. Muahahaha!
It’s official: I will be attending BookExpo America and the first ever Book Blogger Convention at the end of May. I’m excited! A lot! Woohoo!
I’m already a little confused by BEA’s site, but that shall pass, I’m sure. Perhaps I forgot to don My Super Smartness Enhancer this morning. I simply hope, while at these events, to see great authors, meet awesome bloggers and generally have fun my first time in the Big Gynormous I’ll Eat You Alive City. I’ve been in such cities before, but never NYC. It is it’s own unique monster. Grroowwwlll.
So if you’re going, too, hopefully I’ll see you there! And if you’re just a reader of Lurv reading this, hopefully I’ll be bringing back some books with which to possibly give to you. Or you. Or you and maybe you. Oh, and you too. I do hope to be bringing home the goods. I’ve heard there are goods. I’ll be in the Goods Section! What? I AM shameless. I thought yall realized that. Don’t worry! I won’t be greedy. I see you don’t believe me. Sigh.
In the meantime, if perchance thou art traveling to yonder metropolis for this event most exciting, you might enjoy the links below. They feature some excellent advice on how to go about tackling a sitch like this.
