Feature & Follow {23}

Feature & Follow is a weekly post hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.

"Increase blog followers, gain book blog followers and make new friends with the Feature and Follow blog hop."

Q. We are about to see a lot of posts & tweets about reader conventions.  RT, BEA, ALA, and many more are starting soon.  Which one would you love to attend?  Where and why?

Many of these things are still very new to me and I know very little about reader conventions.  I know of BEA mostly because I first learned about it from my snl (Somewhere Only We Know).  She would like for her and I to go to NYC to one sometime in the future.  Why that one?  #1 - I LOVE NYC!  For those who love the lights and glamour of a big city, nothing else compares (IMO).  Add to that all the authors and publishers in one place giving away free books and other goodies and panels to talk about upcoming books too...it's like Book Reader Heaven.  

As for the others mentioned I haven't heard of them before.  I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about the other events.  Have you been to any?  Which is your favorite?

Don't forget to follow via GFC or email and let me know how you followed so I can return the favor!

  1. What a great idea - I should totally go to with my sister. That would be a blast. Uh oh I think I might need to start planning : )

  2. I really like RT because it's a little more simple. They have a YA day but it's actually a Romance Novel convention

  12. Don't feel bad, I had to look up ALA & RT myself, the only reason I know about BEA is because my cousin (Giselle from Xpresso Reads) planned to go since last year and invited me to tag along!

    I hope you & your sister get to attend soon :)
