You&#...I agree with Shannon- you win for best pic!<br /><br />You're also right about the intensity of the whole event. I was thrilled to meet so many people I'd known online, but the buzz of activity was a lot to take in. I crashed when I finally made it home.

And so great to meet you. I feel the same way about balancing the social aspect of something like BEA. I loved meeting everyone and at the same time found myself wandering off by myself for a little "quiet".

I went to BEA last year for the first time. I didn't know anyone! But I (awkwardly) made some blogger friends which was amazing. There was tons of galley grabbing for sure (do people just forget to be humans sometimes or what?) But other than that, it was a blast (though SUPER exhausting). Glad that you had a good time over all and got the books you wanted :) I definitely waited in a few lines for hour(s) haha. There are also still lots of books from last year that I still haven't read... Sad that I couldn't make it this year but loved seeing everyone's pics!

Your pile is most impressive but then you live there! Imagine taking them on a plane. I'm worried about all the reading for me now, ha. enjoythecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980093669604155928.post-39990662138748775152016-05-18T21:54:16.620-04:002016-05-18T21:54:16.620-04:00That stack is craaaaaaaaaaaazy.

That being said, I miss you all and wish I could see you more often in smaller doses like I do my other friends.<br /><br />Also, I'm incredibly jealous of your amazing BEA pictures. Your apartment is the best place for cool photos.<br /><br />I hope to see you again! Come to Denver once I'm settled so I can return the favor with hosting. We'll make butterbeer cupcakes. :)Jenna @ JMill Wandershttp://jmillwanders.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980093669604155928.post-28367393259021580562016-05-18T16:29:33.552-04:002016-05-18T16:29:33.552-04:00We are but mere peasants to the great and wonderfu...We are but mere peasants to the great and wonderful Foer.

I can totally imagine the hunger games (without the killing )situation filled with awkward people scene you described. I'm a homebody so I know what you mean about how you don't really realize it until you are surrounded with people :) I think its so cool you got to meet so many of your fave bloggers - how fun! I can definitely picture JSF being awkward and thinking he's above being there at BEA - he just has that look about him. Of course, I can't wait to read his new book - LOL! I definitely need to make it to BEA next time. I'm looking forward to your top 10 list, especially after seeing that pile of books next to you - WOW!

As we discussed, agreed on JSF - not only awkward, but would've rather been just about anywhere in the world than talking and signing for we plebians.

Last time I went, things were a little less frazzled when it comes to social things because there were just fewer bloggers I knew. This time around I felt like I wanted to be everywhere with everyone (and just have a moment to myself!) all at the same time.
