Today is Monday, June 6, 2011...What Are You Reading?
Last week I was lucky enough to attend BEA (Book Expo America) 2011, which I will recap in greater detail this week. Before I do so, I must say that I shared many of the greatest moments of BEA week with Sheila (Book Journey), the hostess of It's Monday! What Are You Reading? From my first day on the convention floor to my last chat in the hallway, Sheila was there. In a sea of so many unfamiliar faces, BEA can be extremely overwhelming. Sheila always made me feel welcome, and always managed to pop up just when I needed her the most.
Thank you, Sheila!
Now, on to my books!

so many of these look GREAT!! Like you, I have so many books on my shelves right now that it's difficult to decide which one to read next :)
Alison, I am Theresa Mavity's friend in Winnemucca. And I do consider Sheila my friend, even to I've never met her. LOL (doing It's Monday, little e-mails and I participate in her on-line book club. I'm so glad I found your blog....I love a good book blog (Mine's kinda just a hodge-podge of books, food and... whatever. )
So funny to have come across a Winnemucca link.
Have a great day. Oh...and you have some great books on your list too.
That is a great week planned, enjoy.
I enjoyed seeing your picture from the BEA on others blogs, what a great time for all of you.

Sheila is a gem! Isn't it funny how you can run into the same person over and over again in that swarming mass of humanity?! I read Bossy pants and thought it was great and have heard it's even better on audio.
Oh you have Lucia Lucia - so awesome!!! I have not red that one yet - BUT I did listen to Rococco by Adriana on audio with Mario as the narrator and it was FANTASTIC! I found it on audible.com
