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???

Good luck on the marathon…and congrats on BEA. I keep waiting for it to come back to LA, where it was in 2008, but I guess it will work its way across the country.
I didn't know enough back then to really participate in all the events.
Enjoy…and here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
Good luck with the marathon and for some silly reason I thought BEA was in NO this year..that must be another event. It is nice to get back into a routine. Have a lovely week!
Good luck with the marathon! Hope you have lots of fun at BEA also!
Good luck with the marathon! And no BEA for me. I'd love to go to AAD since it's in Charlotte this year. 🙂
Kristin, best of luck with the marathon training and your reading! BEA should be a lot of fun. I wish I could go, too!
I'm excited to be one of the winners of "While We Were Watching Downton Abbey"! Thank you. Sounds like you have an exciting and busy New Year in store. I've never been to the BEA but it's on my list of things to do one of these days. Enjoy!
I plan to go to BEA this year too!! I hope we get to meet. It will be my first time as well. Are you going on the Wednesday for the Bloggers event?
So many great books on your list. I should think about BEA, too.
Have a great week!
Exciting times coming. Will be amazing to attend BEA, look forward to hearing all aobut it.
I love that you are training for a half marathon – me too! I need to get back to the gym starting tomorrow. I have a lot of ground to make up (literally!)
This may be the best thing I've heard all month….Did you say BEA is moving to CHICAGO??? Woo hoo! I might actually make it to Chicago next year. Thank you!
Here's my It's Monday post!
Looking forward to your thoughts on a few books I've had my eye one! Best of luck with your training.
