The BookExpo America Buzz Books have been revealed for 2013, the set of fortunate books that will receive a spotlight at the annual book convention.
While these books have not been published yet, they will be featured in a jam-packed session with journalists, librarians, booksellers and publishing professionals at the conference. Here’s more from the release:
Three separate committees of booksellers, librarians and other industry professionals have reviewed the numerous submissions in each category and voted for this year’s final selections. The highly anticipated Buzz Forums are among the most notable and significant platforms for launching new books and creating awareness for noteworthy titles and authors at BEA. Insightful and passionate, the forums typically attract a large audience of booksellers and media who are eager to hear about, and then talk about, the new titles which have been singled out for discussion and presentation.

Book Expo America, the book industry’s private trade show, is inviting consumers to attend the annual conference this year in a move to connect more directly with readers.
These consumers can purchase badges marked ‘Power Readers’ and attend the event on Saturday June 1st, one day of the week-long conference. Exhibitors can sell books directly to these attendees, as well as to anyone else attending the show. BEA will set up a way to sell books through an approved vendor. Anyone selling books is required to pay New York state sales tax.
The BEA blog has more: “This will open new promotional opportunities for publishers. Power Readers will change how media covers BEA, bringing more focus and attention on the latest titles and highest profile authors. Publishers will be able to connect directly with consumers and consumers will have access to their favorite authors on a scale that was never been available to them in one place at one time.”

It's highly possible that I'm the last person in the blogosphere to do a BEA recap--but even a few days later I'm still trying to process the absolutely amazing experience.
I wish I had taken more pictures, but thanks to my hectic schedule I didn't have a lot of time. So here's a few of my favorites--some of which I've shamelessly stolen from Twitter/FB (so if one of these was taken by you, THANK YOU!), and I'm posting them in order, so you can sort of feel like you're reliving it all with me (and warning, I did a LOT, so this will be a LONG post! Brace yourself).
Sunday:
After an awesome afternoon of real NY pizza (SO GOOD) and a matinee of NEWSIES (EVEN BETTER) I headed to the Hudson Terrace for the S&S Teen Blogger Preview, a private YA-related event featuring me, Lenore Appelhans, Jenny Han, Tonya Hurley, Carmen Rodrigues, and Siobhan Vivian--all of whom were every bit as lovely, funny, and amazing as you'd expect them to be.
I wish we'd taken a group shot of all of us, but instead all I have is photos of me during my interview time:
Jenny asked the BEST questions and made the event so much fun--even if I did totally mishear her at one point and answer that I wanted to marry Nagini (the evil snake from Harry Potter) (yeah... don't ask--it was a total Shannonfail).
I've been to dozens and dozens of these kind of events, so it was SO SURREAL to be on the "author" side of the experience, waiting in the green room, being up on stage--oh, and this:
The GORGEOUS display S&S did behind the bar with all of our covers. I still have a hard time believing that one of those is MY COVER for MY BOOK with MY NAME. It's kind of amazing I didn't jump over the bar and hug it.
S&S also gave out goody bags with all of our ARCs, plus the coolest LET THE SKY FALL swag EVER:
It's a battery powered fan WITH A WIND PUN ON THE LABEL!!!! I <3 S&S so much.
Monday:The day started cold and rainy, so I spent the morning racing to Macys to find tights to go with my dress so I wouldn't freeze that night. Then it was off to the S&S Building to meet with Liesa Abrams, my editor--and to meet even
I'm not much of a poet, but this came to me as I was walking up 37th Street from the Javits Center at the end of BEA on Thursday, carrying my heavy bags of books:
Post-BEA Blues: A Book Blogger's Lament
Books

Sore back, sore feet.
Ouch.
Books

I took too many.

In a wall-to-wall session at the BEA, the season's top YA authors—Melissa Marr, Tonya Hurley, Siobhan Vivian, Jenny Han, Elizabeth Norris, and Bethany Griffin—gathered to talk about trendmaking, book writing, and teen readers.
I covered the story for
Publishing Perspectives here.
When I mentioned to friends that I had seen Kristi Yamaguchi at the BEA, I heard a collective sigh. Yamaguchi is that kind of loved—a talented athlete, a dedicated artist, a philanthropist, a wife, a mother, the sort of celebrity one hears only good things about. I had grown up figure skating, which means I had grown up watching Kristi. And when she danced with Mark on Dancing With the Stars, I—a lover of ballroom dance (if not precisely a ballroom dancer)—watched with special fervency.
The tremendous Jennifer Brown, the children's book editor for Shelf Awareness and a very dear soul, had the honor of interviewing Kristi at the BEA about Kristi's second Poppy book. I was on hand to write the story for
Publishing Perspectives. You can find the piece
here.
At the BEA yesterday, I met with
people I love. People I respect. People whose integrity teaches me, whose books and blogs instruct me,
whose hearts are true. There are so many people like that.
But I also saw, in my travels, so much that unnerved, worried, further sickened me that I in fact fled the building early, hoping (futilely) to catch an early train home. Books as commerce. Self promotion as a form of public humiliation. Personal needs on flagrant display.
I lost my rudder. I felt overcome, and sad.
For example:
The man in the skin-tight devil suit, riding that escalator up and down, pimping a book with sheltered eyes, a slightly embarrassed impishness within his reddishness. And what was it for? I saw him three times; I still don't know what his skin-tightness advertised.
The long lines of people eager for free copies of books by authors whose on-stage conversations were sparsely attended. Why should a free book trump an interesting, human conversation? Why should product—the material thing that can be taken home—always rule? Have we no time to give to the people who made the things we want?
The bare-chested (utterly bare chested) woman patrolling the streets just outside the Javits Convention Center—a black hat on her blonde head, a thin oily mustache drawn onto her lip. Was this part of authorial self promotion, too? Is this what we are coming to? If it is, I have penned my last book.
(Note: my dear sister-in-law, Donna, has cleared this one up. It was not, apparently a BEA stunt. It says something, though, that I assumed it was: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1047897717/topless-new-york-exhibit-calendar-and-book)The surge of aspiring writers toward established authors, the questions, the requests. The audience members wanting blurbs for their own books, wanting agent representation, wanting introductions to editors.
Please. So many requests. Such insistence. Should it be like this?
The perfect strangers who saw, on my badge, that I was at the BEA not as an author but as a reporter for
Publishing Perspectives. Suddenly I, too, was a perceived bridge—a person to be entrusted with self-published novels and raw manuscripts. Please take my book, review my book, help me with my book, I was asked, more than once—questions that made me feel powerless, and raw.
Books are—or they can be—beautiful things. They take years, patience, perseverance. They are born of hope or courage, love or need, faith in stories and storytelling. Book expos should be celebrations of the book, in the end, and of the people who make them. I lost sight of that, for long parts of yesterday. I found myself trapped in something more carnivalesque, more pressing and too bruising.
I'm not naive. I'm not new to the BEA. But something happened yesterday. Some small hollow something went
click.
Missing BEA this year? GalleyCat prowled the floor of BookExpo America this week, collecting pictures of some of the more creative displays lining the exhibition hall.
Above, you can see Workman’s cardboard robot, promotion for the upcoming Recycled Robots by Robert Malone.
Check it out: “Robots and kids: a perfect combination. From R2-D2 to the Transformers to WALL-E, robots are a source of endless fascination. Now comes an irresistible book and kit that shows how to make ten different robots—that move—out of the most ordinary things from around the house. By delivering an experience that’s so much richer than putting together a model, this book gets to the essence of creativity and imaginative problem-solving and shows how to be an inventor, designer, and engineer all in one.”

Oh my, I have just gone through 112 pages of ads and articles on all the great stuff I missed at Book Expo America today. Luckily, the articles did mention what will happen in Children's Books and Books for Teens for tomorrow. Plus, I found some extra raffles to enter. I love those raffles. I never win but I know someone who does and SHE is going to BEA tomorrow, too. So is the Hub.
We've got our backpacks and tote bags and our wheely suitcases and we expect to bring back loot and lots of great ideas about what to read - and buy - next. So many great authors will be there signing books and just sharing the authorly love. Mo Willems! He has a NEW Pigeon book out. I so hope I get to meet him because he is awesome.
As is John Green. DFTBA, John! I doubt that I will get within a city block of either John Green OR Libba Bray. Sigh. But just being under the same enormous roof is cool. Maggie Stiefvater is rumored to be close by as well. And Julie Kagawa and ...be still, my heart...EOIN COLFER!!! I can't stand it. And, there are more authors and books. So many, many beautiful books.
Oh, look at the time! I have to go over my "assignments". The bus leaves at the very crack of dawn tomorrow.
Before I go, let's revisit the Pigeon's very own webpage for KBWT. Go to Boring Grown-Up stuff for videos that are totally NOT! (Boring OR just for Grown-Ups.)
My dear friends: I'm leaving in the pitch black of the morrow for the BEA in NYC. I'll be covering three stories there for
Publishing Perspectives and seeing some dear souls in between.
But as I travel I will ponder the beauty of today—
this gift that arrived, this love that exists.
I am a very lucky woman.
Pretty sure you guys know this by now, but if you need me, I'm not here.
I'M IN NEW YORK FOR BEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Hee. Can you tell I'm EXCITED????)
Not only have I never been to NY before, but thanks to my amazing publicity team at S&S I have a CRAZY-awesome schedule. If any of you are going to be there, here's some of the places where you can find me:
Sunday 6/3: I'll be on a panel with Lenore Appelhans, Jenny Han, Tonya Hurley, Carmen Rodrigues, and Siobhan Vivian at the S&S Teen Blogger party, talking about LET THE SKY FALL, among other things. (this event is invitation only, so you know who you are if you're going).
Monday, 6/4, 5:00 pm NY Grand Central Library: I'll be on a panel with fellow middle grade authors Brandon Mull, John Stephens, and Rebecca Stead. (yeah, I'm as amazed as you.) Event information is HERE.
Tuesday, June 5th, 10:30 am - 11:00 am: I'll be signing ARCs of KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES in the Javits autographing area, booth 8. You can find details on that HERE.

What book are you most excited about this year? Over at Library Journal, Barbara Hoffert has published her annual “BEA Galley & Signing Guide.” The handy resource will help you make sure you can find all the galley copies and authors you need at BookExpo America.
Check it out: “Because hunting through the aisles for the book or author you love can be a challenge, I’ve been tracking some of the show’s top titles, from large publishers and small, focusing on tote-away galleys from adult authors and key in-booth signings, always harder to pin down than signings in the Autographing Area. Plus, for the digitally inclined, I’ve embedded icons that will guide you straight to NetGalley—just another sign that those titles are hot.”
If you want to sample the books, Publishers Marketplace and NetGalley teamed up to create BEA Buzz Books, a digital collection of more than 30 samples of highly anticipated books–including excerpts from books by Junot Diaz, Barbara Kingsolver, Dennis Lehane and Neil Young. Follow this link to download the free consumer edition.

Rock star and memoirist Patti Smith will host a lunchtime interview Neil Young at BookExpo America on June 6th.
Here’s more about the event, to be held in the Special Events Hall at the Javits Center: “Ms. Smith’s discussion with Mr. Young will focus on his upcoming memoir, Waging Heavy Peace to be published in North America by Blue Rider Press, a member of Penguin Group (USA), in fall of 2012.”
Smith won the National Book Award for her memoir, Just Kids. She is working on a film adaptation of the book with Tony Award winning playwright. If you want to prepare, check out this 10-hour long Spotify playlist linking to the music mentioned in Smith’s National Book Award-winning memoir.

So I'm heading to BEA in June. This will be my 4th expo and I'm totally excited to meet up with friends and bloggers and various publicists.
However:
Below I have a ticker that I created that is measuring my weight loss. My goal is to lose around 50lbs, but I know that will not be possible by June. Any encouragement is awesome. Just wanted you guys to know my goal and how hard I'm going to be working to be svelte for BEA. There's so much walking and standing around that I want it to be easier this year. I want to feel good too! I love walking around NYC and hope to finally make it to Central Park for a walk. All the times I've been to NYC I have never visited Central Park, but I am making it this year.
So to all my followers and friends, just a few words of encouragement when you notice I've checked in. (I'm weighing in on Wednesdays.) You can just scroll down to watch check my weight loss.
In 2013, book lovers could get a chance to explore BookExpo America (BEA), the major publishing industry trade show that has been traditionally limited to industry professionals.
BEA event director Steven Rosato posted about the potential change on the show’s official blog. What do you think–should book lovers be allowed to attend BEA?
Check it out: “This will not happen immediately, but are looking at 2013 to shift BEA to a Thursday – Friday – Saturday, leaving the trade portion exclusive on Thursday and Friday so the industry can continue to meet and conduct the B2B business that is inherent to BEA and open the doors on Saturday for consumers built around author events, but also allow them onto the show floor to look behind the curtain, see what new works from their favorite writers will be coming out like ComicCon does. This will also give a day of exhibits on the weekend that small but vocal portion of librarians and booksellers miss.” (Via Michael Cairns)

Emily and Chase aren't bad people -- they've just made a few mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes, right? A little remorse and everything will be fine. Unfortunately, some acts can't be taken back -- and three beautiful, mysterious girls are here to make sure they pay. As Emily and Chase are about to learn, sometimes sorry just isn't enough.
Fury alternates between two teens, Emily and Chase, and carefully sketches in the details of their ordinary, every day lives. It is surprising to discover that the mythological beings are not the main characters of this novel -- instead, they hover on the fringe, leaving the focus on the remarkably human and flawed leads.
Elizabeth Miles brings her cast to life, making them seem more like people than characters. The inhabitants of Ascension are not extraordinary, and that's what makes them so authentic. They are imperfect and not all that likable -- but that seems to be the point. Emily is naive and shallow, not to mention a terrible friend, and Chase seems petty and insecure. Their off-putting personalities make sense in the context of the novel, yet it also makes it difficult to invest in their fates. Miles' skill at humanizing her characters is impressive, but they would be more rounded with a few admirable traits as well.
Em and Chase are not the most despicable people in town by a long shot, yet they're the unfortunate souls singled out for vengeance. The fact that the avenging girls are not the protagonists adds to their mystique, but it also obscures the method to their madness. The first half of the novel drags, as it's impossible to tell what transgression Chase committed or what punishment Emily is receiving for her own crimes. Crucial backstory isn't introduced until late in the novel, leaving readers feeling confused for an agonizing length of time. Yet, though Emily's story line is clearest at the outset, Chase's plot ends up being the strongest as he moves inexorably toward his fate. Though neither is endearing, Chase has the most complexity -- from his love-and-hate relationship with a childhood friend, to his attempt to rise above his socioeconomic status -- readers will feel sorry for him as his punishment progresses (even if he seems to be determinedly walking into the trap).
The calculating and manipulative powers of their tormentors are made starkly and terrifyingly clear as the novel spirals toward its devastating conclusion. Miles lays a strong groundwork for her mythology, immersing readers in the fear and uncertainty of a
Well, it’s been another one of those times where my blog has hit a bit of a lag! My life these days is crazy busy, personally and professionally, so I really can’t complain. Unfortunately, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for writing about my experiences or keeping up with my social media presence. So now that I’m comfy on the recliner on vacation in Bemidji, it’s time to play a little Walking In Public catch-up…
First off, if you haven’t headed over to my new gig as a columnist on the blog, Publishing Trendsetter, you want to go to there! The site is full of great advice and insight from young professionals on those either in their first few years, or looking to get into the industry. As for me, I’ll be bringing the visual inspiration with the column, Design Candy.
A few weeks ago, I kicked it off on Trendsetter with my favorite design finds, head-to-head, from the publishing extravaganza of the year, BEA. But I had a lot of favorite moments that didn’t make it onto that post. For some reason, most of the Big 6 publishers disappoint – their large space isn’t utilized with books, but posters/video screens that don’t make an impact. It’s the indie publishers (plus the usual suspects in Chronicle, Candlewick and Abrams) that make up the best exhibits.
Missed BEA the first time around? Check out my highlights now:
Chronicle Books: Is designer heaven – no one even comes close to these guys in my book.
Abrams: They always pull out all the stops, this time with a giant snowglobe.
International: Saudi Arabia is by far the friendliest, but I love looking through all the foreign-language books.

by librarian Jackie Reeve
Last Tuesday the Children’s Book Council held a 90-minute Children’s Author Speed Dating event at BookExpo America. This was a chance for librarians and booksellers to meet each other and almost 2 dozen teen and children’s authors. As an elementary school librarian (K-4), this was the perfect event for me to get started at BEA. And it was very much like a short first date with each author, complete with some awkward pauses and some great conversations cut short by that cursed buzzer. I loved it.
Nineteen authors were given three and a half minutes to pitch their upcoming books and themselves to a roundtable of excited book lovers. When the buzzer sounded the authors moved on to the next table, leaving each group with a taste of their process, their new work, and their personalities. But for me, that short little “date” was enough time to become enamored of some new books and some new authors. They were all just so lovely.
No one sits still for photos while speed dating, so I apologize to the authors in advance for any mortifying poses I captured. They don’t deserve such cruelty. From left to right, starting with the top row: James Dashner, Jane Hampton Cook, David A. Adler, Lisa Greenwald, Linda Urban, Laini Taylor, Susan Stockdale, Ashley Spires, Clete Barrett Smith, Maria Rutkoski, Jennifer Roy, Kate McMullan, Tahereh Mafi, Carrie Jones, Jeff Hirsch, and Laura Lee Gulledge.
We didn’t leave with any whole books, but I left with bookmarks and samples, a list of ARCs and galleys to track down at the Expo (I scored 6 of the 19), and several more titles to add to my book order for next year. Plus I was inspired to connect with some of the authors further, through their Twitter accounts and maybe even a visit to my school (budget willing). As exhausting as those 390-second bursts could be, this was by far my favorite part of the Expo. I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone who wants to connect with authors beyond a quick fangirl moment (“I loved your last book!”) in the autograph line.
Here is the complete list of authors we “dated”, with their websites and Twitter handles where available:
At BEA 2011, we caught up with Book Country community manager Colleen Lindsay, collecting tips for writers who want to join the genre writing community.

250 independent bookstores around the country now sell Google eBooks on their websites. However, it takes some tech savvy and effort to educate customers about these new resources.
At BEA today, we caught up with ABA/IndieBound web developer Matt Supko to collect four tips for booksellers struggling to share eBooks with customers.
1. Include QR codes on your shelves–these digital barcodes can link to individual eBooks in your catalog. Shoppers can browse your curated collection in the store and use their cell phone to buy the book on your website. Use one of these free tools to generate QR codes: Kaywa, GoQR.me, Zxing, or QR Stuff.

In a BEA tradition yesterday, six editors described their favorite book of the season in the annual Editors Buzz Forum. For ten minutes apiece, these editors advocated for a particular book in a room filled with booksellers.
The annual event can teach you a lot about writing blurbs, particularly how to write one or two glittering sentences about a book. We’ve included a few choice examples below–how would you describe your favorite book in a single, perfect sentence?
“It’s huge but familiar at the same time.” Little, Brown and Company publisher Michael Pietsch on The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
“It gave me goosebumps. On my face.” Dutton senior editor Denise Roy on The Underside of Joy by Sere Prince Halverson

Responses to Amazon.com's hire of Laurence Kirschbaum as publisher have varied from worried to fear of a "dampening" effect on competition among delegates at the BEA conference.
Word that started to spread Sunday night was confirmed first thing Monday morning with the announcement that Kirshbaum, former TimeWarner c.e.o.-turned-agent, would be heading up Amazon's publishing operation in New York.

He's as funny on camera as in his books- thanks for sharing!
I heard about that window-bathroom from a friend who was there. Same thing in the women's room. You can see outside and the outside can see in. Very strange. I would have loved to have been at the BEA—except for that part. Yikes!
