I've been stalking the lists of exhibitors and authors who will be at BEA. Here's my tentative schedule for the signings and events I'd like to attend. **If you want to meet me at any of them, let me know!!** Or if you know of class/workshop that I should go to, let me know that as well!
Items in bold are "can't miss it!" events for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You might be thinking, "Wow. She has some odd picks (as a grown up!) for books and authors that she must see!" Um, yeah. You're right. I love kids' books. I read what my kids read. I read what the kids at church read. I read what my students read. I READ ALL THE THINGS. How can you talk about books and recommend them when you don't read them??? I love the Artemis Fowl series, the Kingdom Keepers series, all of the upper MG/ lower YA books.
So, what else should I do/see? Are you going to be there?
I'm definitely going to see the Empire State Building (Percy Jackson!), Central Park, Times Square, etc. All of those touristy things. 'Cuz I don't know when I'll be in NYC again so I need to do ALL of it! :) :)
Can't believe that BEA is almost here! Isn't it exciting?!? I've just started going through the schedule and trying to put together a wishlist of who to see and what panels to attend. I tend to write down anything that sounds interesting, then prioritize my must-sees and would-be-nice lists. Looking forward to it!
