And what a fun week it was! Armchair BEA was a huge success to me! I can particularly attest to that by saying that I didn't do much work at all this week - at least for the first four days. By Friday, I was slightly panicky, and because of my desire to end the week with a feel-good sentiment, I managed to work seriously yesterday. With my Tweetdeck tuned to #BookBloggerCon.
If you haven't checked out my posts yet, here are the links.
- BEA Discussion: Rise of the online book club member, in which I talk about how popular online book communities have become.
- BEA Discussion: The Blogger and the Microblogger, in which I suggest how bloggers can become avid microbloggers, aka twitterers.
- BEA Discussion: Books from far, far away, in which I ask how we can blog proactively and give more attention to the lesser-known books.
- BBC Panel: How to keep an active buzzing blog, in which I give a few strategies to keep your blog active and non-redundant.
Thanks to the wonderful organizers - Tif, Emily, Michelle, Florinda, and Danielle - for having set up this excellent event, that
- Gave me a chance to be a part of BEA and BBC from my comfy chair.
- Introduced me to a whole new set of truly wonderful bloggers, some who I have never come across before, and can't believe I missed them for so long!
- Spread a lot of blogger love.
- Gave us a chance to connect more as friends than bloggers during the Twitter party on Thursday.
- Gave me an excuse not to work this week.
- Gave me an excuse not to write reviews this week.
- Won me 9 wonderful books, without even going to BEA.
- Introduced me to a ten-year old blogger!

I concur - and say "encore, encore" in 2011 :)
You are most heartily welcome! This week certainly exceeded my expectations, and I cannot wait to start planning for next year! "See" you there!
Love the 'clapping hands' picture. Perfect.
I did a wrap-up post too.
Lynne's Book Reviews
Bravo! :)
I wish I would have done this after reading all of your posts this week. Glad you had such a good time!
I wasn't able to go to BEA and BBC so I was really looking forward to Armchair BEA. Then I discovered I was too busy to even do that. So I'm going to spend my extra day off catching up on all the fun you all had!
I have to say I am envious regarding the BEA...still being a semi newbie in this world of book blogging, I didn't know enough about it or where to sign up. Hoping next time, I will particpate. Note to self and other bloggers...please remind me and lead me in the right direction lol.
Sadly, I am visiting very late, but I wanted to say thanks for participating! It was such a great time and I think I missed a couple of your post and will have to go back and visit them!! :)
