How many times do you want to hear that the events this last week was amazing, incredible, went beyond expectations? The week was absolutely amazing and made even more fun by the fact that I'd made friends on Monday during the publishing house tours. Instead of gushing which is likely to bore you, I'll share some of the things that I learned and links to other write-ups that you'll likely find useful and entertaining.
Monday and Tuesday with the publishing house tours that were organized by Yen and organizers of the Book Blogger Convention. We given the unique opportunity to visit and chat with folks from Bloomsbury Press, Picador, Scholastic and Penguin. Wednesday and Thursday were all about BEA 2010. BEA is overwhelming and I'm glad to go around with Angela of
Dark Fairie Tales and
Tonia of Literary Cravings. We'd met during the publishing house tours on Monday and found that we got along really well. (Meeting new people was a major highlight of my week!) There were receptions as well. On Wednesday night Harper Collins sponsored a Celebration of Book Bloggers at the Algonquin Hotel. On Thursday the Book Blogger Convention began with a reception from 4 to 6 at the Javitz Center. I heard that the Book Blogger Convention reception was packed with interesting people - many of whom didn't attend the BBC - and it was a highlight for bloggers. Friday was devoted to the Book Blogger Convention and a nice way to round off the week.
BEA 2010I got up extra early every morning to line up for the tickets to book signings by the most coveted authors. Waking up at 4:30 a.m. and getting to the Javitz by 5:30 am, I was often either the first person or second person in line. You don't actually have to get there that early to be sure to get tickets, it's just that I would have been disappointed if I'd slept in an extra 30 minutes and missed the last ticket for Lee Child or Rick Riordan. (I ended up giving away my ticket to the Rick Riordan signing, which I still regret, but that's another story altogether. I'm sure that it will be cherished by a lucky student in Texas!)

Thankyou to Sujata and husband for their hospitality in their home and a fabulous Indian dinner. The white marble floors keep their house cool and beautiful. I loved the Ganesha Hindu Elephant Gods in her home. The God of wisdom and success.
Love Sujata’s book, ‘The Warp & the Weft’ a collection of short stories published by Srishti India. Meenakshi Bharat, Professor of Literature University of Delhi wrote – Sankranti’s stories are ‘a celebration of the complexities of human existance.’
Sharon Rundle Writer and Editor Australia wrote, ‘they are an absolute delight to read.’ I agree. Sujata will be in Australia for the launch of ‘Fear Factor: Terror Incognito’ on 21st March at the Hughenden in Sydney.
Sujata is softly spoken, a lecturer at the Unievrsity of Delhi, and a Princess of Serala. Today her palace is a State Heritage Site, but she was born there. She’s happy that people can visit it and see her heritage and the Indian heritage.
