GAH. Sorry I had gone quiet this week. I have been so tired at night and then we get up and go so early that I just look at the blog and go… “nah.”
I have a few minutes here now though and just left the Book Blogger Convention and apparently… have some stored up bloggy type energy stored up in my fingers I was unaware of. So let’s catch up shall we? 😀
So…. my last post left off at the Beth Hoffman Dinner Tuesday night…
-
First ever subway ride. I am now an honorary New Yorker.
-
Dinner was so awesome. We went to dinner at Mercers Kitchen in Soho. So wonderful. There were 8 of us bloggers I think, I will list them all and their blogs next week when I write more detailed posts about the events. Beth Hoffman…. as real in person as she is in her books and on the social networks.
-
Back in hotel room 1t 11:30 pm. SO TIRED!
-
Wednesday…. up at 5 am. To Javitz by 6:15 am… picked up Rick Riordin tickets for a signed event.
-
At Javitz until about 3 pm. Reagan and I are SHOT. So tired books have lost all meaning (and that is TIRED!)
-
We go back to our hotel room and crash for about an hour.
-
Up and get ready for the Harper Collins Blogger Reception
-
Reception is a blast… we taxi over, get a chance to connect with many authors and fellow bloggers. I meet two of the authors I am doing book tours with this fall! (More on this in post next week)
-
Go to dinner with a group of bloggers organized by Heather from Age 30+ a Lifetime of Books to a place called Bice. I had a fettuccine with shrimp…. YUM!
-
back in hotel by 11:00 pm…. shot again. 😀
-
Thursday – sleep in a bit day!!! Up at 7:30 am…. YEAH!!! Get ready and to Javitz by 8:45 am after stopping at Dunkin Donuts for COFFEE and breakfast.
-
Spend morning at Javitz center chatting up with publishing companies and getting a few books along the way.
-

-
Meet up with Adriana at The Standard Grill for lunch.

Taxi to Atria and meet up with publishers and authors and more bloggers. (More details on this next week)

Reagan and I go to Empire State Building – all the way up! 😀
-
Back in room by 10 pm. Chill a bit then sleep.
-
Up at 6:00 to prep for Book Blogger Convention
-
At convention by 7:05 pm for breakfast
-
Convention officially starts at 9 a.m. to 4:30 pm. (details details – next week :D)
Now – currently I am sitting at my hotel room with Reagan (Miss Remmers Reviews) and Cass (Bonjour, Cass! A Book Lovers Blog) preparing to go to a Broadway play… Mary Poppins!
I will break down these events soon in more detail, I just wanted to touch base and let you know I do still exist and I am returning home very early tomorrow morning… 😀
Book Journey 
Wow, what a whirlwind. I’m looking forward to hearing more about your adventure.
I love reading your posts since I didn’t do half of all that, and get tired just reading your posts, as usual! :–)
Amazing adventures! From subway rides to Soho…how great is that!
Looking forward to photos, etc. Safe trip home!
Can’t wait to hear more about your trip.
Wow! I’m wore out just reading it!
Glad you are having such a good time!
You had jam packed day. Wow, you must be exhausted. I hope you get some much needed rest. Thanks for the update.
You are having so much fun! I’m jealous of Mary Poppins, hope you enjoyed it.
Sheila!!! I looooved meeting you! I had a nice time sitting with you at the dinner with Beth, and such a blast together at the author speed dating. We had some interesting authors come to our table. Plus, you got to see my boyfriend, Otis. 😉
I just adore you now and I really hope to see you next year. 🙂
So glad I had a chance to see you again this year and say hi! Hope your trip home is safe and uneventful.
Wow, sounds like a whirlwind of fun and excitement!
Crazy busy!
