In reply to Rachel. Yeah I agree Rachel. Going every year to BEA would be too expensive, especially in NYC. I was glad it was in Chicago. It was a great trip.

Sounds like you had a great trip! I went a few years ago when it was in NYC. It was fun but the travel was too expensive to go every year. I would love for it to come back to Chicago – only an 8 hour drive from where I live in Kansas City.

In reply to Michelle. Yeah sorry for not meeting you Michelle. I'm glad I didn't miss Semple's book. That is a bit disappointing it wasn't available there. Hmm. Thx for letting me know!

In reply to Suzanne@Chick with Books. Funny story Suzanne. Too bad you missed Justin Cronin at BEA like I did. But there's always next year! I look forward to hearing if you liked Before the Fall. Cheers.

In reply to Deb Nance at Readerbuzz. Thanks Deb. Yes, it is a bit of a surprise when a favorite author puts out something you dont like that much -- I agree. I'm a bit perplexed still.

In reply to Laurel-Rain Snow. Thanks Laurel. Yeah I wish BEA was held in LA more often. That's an easier place for me to get to. The Hawley novel and McInerney's interest me a lot as well. Perhaps you might get to them before I do.

Well, damn. Another blogger I missed meeting!

You have a great stack of books. Don’t feel too bad about missing Maria Semple. Like a lot of the YA authors who were there, her book was not available in any form. Disappointing but understandable all the same.

Great BEA Wrap up! Sounds like you had a wonderful time! And now I am thoroughly convinced I am NOT missing it next year! My first (and only) time I went, I missed out on meeting Justin Cronin too because my husband (now ex) who went with me, didn't want to wait in the long line to meet him ... maybe that's why he's my ex? ;-) But I just loved meeting all the authors and of course the books! Can't wait to see what you think about Before the Fall, which I've been reading an eGalley of, and all the other great books! Have a great week! My Sunday Salon

I’m always so surprised to find a disappointment with a favorite author. Sorry this one didn’t pan out.

What fun! I would have loved meeting those authors….

The one time I went to BEA, it was in 2008, in LA…there were no blogging events. I wasn’t really blogging much then, anyway. But it would be fun to meet other bloggers, as well as the authors.

I have Jane Hamilton’s book…and can’t wait to get Jay McInerney’s new one. Before the Fall has piqued my interest as well.

Thanks for sharing, and here is my NON-BEA post: MY WEEKLY UPDATES
