Well, it’s here!  Tomorrow morning, I’ll be leaving for BEA in New York, and I cannot wait.  I still have a lot to do before I leave, but I’m looking forward to a week full of bookish events.  I’m planning on taking my camera and taking pictures, and if I do, I will post them.  However, I can’t promise how much wrapping up I’ll do on my blog – it depends on how tired I am once I get back and how much work has piled up while I’ve been gone!

I’m looking forward to a lot of the week, but the Scholastic and Penguin publishing house tours are really at the forefront of my mind.  Additionally, the HarperCollins party at the Algonquin for bloggers should be a real treat.  Most of all, I can’t wait to meet everyone and talk books!

Before that, though, there’s the LOST finale tonight.  I have such bittersweet feelings about it.  On one hand, I’m excited to finally wrap up the stories and learn the answers to the questions that still haven’t been addressed.  On the other, LOST was so unique and creative, I’m so sorry to see it go and wonder if anything will live up to its awesomeness ever again!  If you aren’t a LOST fan, you’re probably tired of people waxing on about it, but if you are, you know what I mean.

As I said in my BEA + Book Blogger Con post, I will have reviews posting every day of this week.  I will be checking email while I’m gone (but on my phone, so don’t expect eloquent replies!).  I don’t know if I’ll be on Twitter – I can tweet on my phone, but I’m not sure I want to spend time on that when there will be so much to do and see!

Winging It – Jenny Gardiner


The Queen’s Governess – Karen Harper

I leave for the BEA tomorrow too! I can't wait to meet you, and I think there will be very little time for blogging and tweeting; it looks like a fun-filled week!

I hope you have a great stay, but I'm sure that'll happen :)

There seems to be a lot of excitement about the LOST final episode tonight. I've never watched Lost, but I kind of like to see people caring so much about a TV show. I don't know why, but it makes me smile.

It's nice to know I'll have reviews to look forward to, even when you're in NY.

Have fun at BEA!

I am a Lost fanatic too and am bittersweet about the series finale.

Hope you have a wonderful time! You all will be in my thoughts.

As far as LOST is concerned, I have never watched it. When I realized that I was missing something, it felt like it was too late to jump in. One of these days, I'm just going to make it a project to rent all the DVDs.

You're so lucky you got to go to BEA, and I hope you have a wonderful time there!

I watched the Lost finale and it was such an emotional (long) episode! Now I just want to sit and re-watch all seasons together.
