Extra! Extra! is my weekend post featuring brand new additions to my TBR pile as well as a summary of what's new on the blog.
This weekend I'm linking to Stacking the Shelves @ Tynga's Reviews or to Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
EXCITING EVENT:
If you are a blogger attending BEA later this month, be sure to make time for the Second Annual BEA Book Blogger Picnic on Friday, May 30 from 6-8 pm. After you've spent hours locked up in the Javits center without any fresh air or contact with the outside world, you will be thrilled to delight in the beauty that is Central Park, meet other bloggers, and decompress. This event is free -- bring snacks to share if you want, but if not, that's fine -- just come and join the fun!
Where: we'll be in Central Park on the lawn just outside the Heckscher Playground, which is at the far southwest corner of the Park.
I should be there (long, complicated story!) and if not, you will still meet my fabulous and friendly co-hosts, Alexa of Alexa Loves Books, Andrea of the Overstuffed Bookcase and Katelyn of Tales of Books and Bands. You can spot us by looking for these fab pink shirts. Or tweet us. We'll have our phones and will be using hashtag #BEABloggerPicnic.
This is a totally stress-free, low-key event, so you are welcome to bring family members (Andrea's husband just might show up with cake again) and come and leave whenever you need to.
Then, we're hosting one more event on Saturday (I am unlikely to be at this one, but you never know!)
BEA Blogger Meet and Drink on Saturday May 21 from 8-10 pm
Where: Tir Na Nog Irish Bar & Grill, 315 W 39th St., between 8th & 9th Ave. There are two Tir Na Nogs in Manhattan, so make sure you go to the one on 39th! We will be in the front bar area, but just ask for the book blogger group if you're not sure where we are!
When: Saturday, May 31, 8-10pm. Again, this is a casual drop-in kind of event, so it's okay to come late or leave early!
Follow #BBMeetandDrink for info and updates!

I bought What I Thought Was True and can't wait to check that one out.
I love mythology-themed books, so I'm excited about Only Everything.
And I can't wait to try All Lined Up.
What's new with you? Tell me in comments and leave me a link so I can visit you back :)
So jealous of the BEA picnic! I wish I lived in the US. :( Anyway, all of your new books are on my TBR, lol. Happy reading! <3
ReplyDeleteAw, I wish you could come!
DeleteI wish I could go to BEA and join both events, the picnic cause it sounds fantastic and the other one cause it's at an Irish pub!!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited! Wish you could be there!

Yes -- will be looking for you :)
DeleteAttending BEA for the first time this year and my friends and I are hoping to come to the picnic. I confess though that it's a little daunting, different country and all. Hopefully we'll make it :)
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!! Can't wait to meet you.
DeleteI really wish I could join in with the BEA Blogger picnic! Central Park is one of my favourite places in the world but unfortunately I'm stuck in the UK for the time being. I'm new to the book blogging community and it's so wonderful to see everyone clubbing together for give aways and discussions! I hope you all have an amazing time xo
ReplyDeleteAw, maybe another time :)
DeleteI wish I was going to BEA :-( I really wanted to save up to attend this year but it just didn't happen. Maybe next year. I so badly wanted to get The Return by Jennifer L. Armentrout there cause I'm a huge Seth fan. I'm not sure who else is there as I try to avoid knowing so I won't be sad lol but I saw the author mention that. I recently got What I Thought Was True as well and I"m very excited. I'm reading The Geography of You and Me right now but then I think I will start that one.
ReplyDeleteYou and I have to meet one day, even if I need to come out and float on a river with you :)
DeleteIT would be so awesome to go to the BEA and the Pinic but alas I won't be there...DOUBLE BOO!!
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome time!

Sorry to hear that. Another time!
DeleteThe picnic sounds fun, wish I lived closer :). I did get some new books this week, but it's midnight, and I cannot for the life of me remember what they are. hehe! I just know that I am looking forward to reading them. hehe!
ReplyDeleteAw, me too :(
DeleteOh girl I'm sure you'll have a blast at that picnic. :) I cannot wait to hear your impressions. Also I really hope you'll enjoy What I Thought Was True more than me. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteThe picnic was so much fun last year even though it was about a million degrees. Hope for good weather :)
DeleteWish I lived closer, that sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteMe too :(
DeleteI wish I could go to BEA, but with the kids it is hard to get away to go. :( Enjoy the new books you got this week.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
I understand. The only way this works is because it's my hometown!
DeleteCan't wait for what i thought was true and hope you enjoy. Happy Reading and Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've started it and I'm excited!
DeleteI wiiiiiiish I was going to BEA again this year but alas I'll be in the USA a couple of weeks later. I hope the picnic goes well and I love that you guys will be wearing bright pink tees!
ReplyDeleteMands @ The Bookish Manicurist
Aw. I want to meet you and check out your nails :)
DeleteI can't wait to attend BEA some day. Hope you have lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to BEA! Hope you have a great time.
ReplyDeleteAww, the picnic sounds fun- book talk + food is a win! (Confession time: I've never gone on a picnic.) One day, I wish I get to BEA and fangirl over all the authors and books.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wish I could go too, but that's not possible since I live in Germany.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, What I Thought was true was a great book. I will review it soon!
I wish I could go to BEA, you've no idea. Have fun and enjoy your reads :) My STS
