The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.
I've decided to try a new weekly meme - a place where I can do both a weekly wrap up and share what books I get all in one post, so I'm going to give The Sunday Post a try, and also link up with Sheila's It's Monday Post over at Book Journey.
It's so nice to be back to a normal schedule. Back to the gym and working out, with my training back on track for the 1/2 marathon which is in just about 2 months from now...eeek!!! I'm really excited about it and just made my hotel reservations this weekend. My mom is doing the walk with me - which is so cool, by the way!!! - and since the marathon is in Washington, DC, we are going to spend an extra day doing some sight-seeing. I can't wait as I haven't been to DC since high school!
I also registered for BEA - it will be my first time attending and I am super-psyched!!! Being that I only live about 40 minutes north of NYC, I figured I really should take advantage of it being in the city before they move it to Chicago. I made my reservations for a hotel and will be stalking the BEA website from now until the event so I don't miss anything. Are you attending or have you attended in the past? Any tips or suggestions you'd be willing to share with this BEA newbie???
