I just found out that BEA will be in Chicago in 2016!! Although that is still a few years away at least I know I will for sure be going to that BEA since I live in Illinois. Take this poll to weigh in on the hot topic of BEA changing venues!
A Texas man was arrested for an overdue library book. Now I'm a big believer in the library and always returning your books, but being arrested for an overdue book? That seems a little crazy my friend.
Read this list of 10 book sequels that aren't written by their original authors. Some of these I knew about and some were new to me.

These three tumblrs will make your book lover heart go pitter-pat. Bookshelfies does my favorite thing, people sharing their bookshelves with other book lovers!

(Any One Tree Hill fans out there?)
The Book Shimmy Awards are coming over at Epic Reads!!!

MY NaNoWriMo UPDATE as of 11/2
SO MUCH NEWS! Where to begin.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting article on reading trends. YAY FOR E-READERS AT TAKE-OFF. That kind of drove me crazy because no, I don't want to stop reading for even a short period of time, thank you.
So having BEA in NYC is super easy for me so I can't say that I want it to change but I have always wanted to visit Chicago so I think BEA is a perfectly legit excuse. :D And if it makes it easier for some people to attend (like you!) then I'm happy to take turns traveling.
Arrested? Really? And I still need to read Allegiant...
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME ABOUT SECRET SANTA. I saw it mentioned and meant to look out for it. I might have missed it otherwise! YAY :D :D Such a good idea.
ME ME ME ME ME <3333 Thanks for the shout out!! :D :D :D I'm glad you are liking the posts! We are having fun making them!
CANNOT WAIT FOR CATCHING FIRE!
Now I guess I'll go read up on how to survive the apocalypse. ;) Thanks for another great news post!
When I found out you can still read on your e-readers for take off I was more than excited. It was so annoying to have to turn it off, then I wouldn't have anything to read for like 15 minutes!
DeleteYou are very welcome for reminding you! :)
The shout out was well deserved! I love those posts.
Catching Fire is getting sooooo close.
Thanks for reading!!!
