As I’m typing this post… we here at Fic Fare leave for BEA in only 5 days, 2 hours and 17 minutes… not that we’re counting down or anything!! EEEEEP! We’ll be hanging with our blogging BFF’s from SwoonyBoys Podcast is no time at all!Â
But we want to share things with you … the things we’re excited for and the things we’ll be doing while we’re gone – We’ve already given you a few packing tips and we didn’t go into huge detail, but I found the lovely Shae at Shae Has Left The Room has some amazing and comprehensive posts that you will definitely find helpful!
Today we’re going to start out by highlighting some of the things we’re most looking forward to while we’re in NYC
The Parties – We are getting the chance to attend some amazing parties and events this year and we’re so grateful to be included! Â We always have so much fun!Â
The Authors – Some of our most favorite authors will be at BEA this year and I’m so excited to get the opportunity to meet them and flail and embarrass myself in person.Â
Seeing the NYC Sites – Last year we were so tired we didn’t really do much sightseeing, unless you count not getting off the bus in time and traveling around the city ‘sight-seeing’. Â This year we’re staying a few extra days to do just that!Â
Maybe Seeing Bullets Over Broadway *ZACH BRAFF* – OMG ZACH BRAFF – I have had a crush on him forever and he’s in NYC on Broadway – we’re making the time to see this show!Â
Hanging With Our Besties Kass & Meg – it has been one year since We’ve seen these two amazing friends in person and that makes us sad. Â We’re going to soak up their awesome for the entire week!Â
Wanna see which books we’re dying to get our hands on?Â

So Where Will You Find Us?Â
We arrive in the lovely NYC on Tuesday evening- which will give us a little time to get settled and just relax and hang out before the craziness begins. Â We’re actually staying in the same place we stayed last year in New Jersey since it worked out so well for us… it’s really convenient, (ferry stop is right out the door of the hotel) the rooms are huge, and we pay so much less than staying right in NYC… also post office adjacent. Â
Now, according to my handy spreadsheet that the lovely Meg makes us you might see us in the following places:
Wednesday: Attending the Harlequin High Tea where we’ll get to see the Harlequin offices and meet with authors and editors! Â We’ll also be attending the HarperCollins EpicReads party this evening so lots of fun planned before BEA even officially gets started!Â
Thursday:  All the CRAZY begins!  You will definitely find me in line at Starbucks at some point, but if you don’t see me there, then I’ll be at the Harlequin Teen Blogger Breakfast where we’ll get to hang with amazing authors like Jennifer Armentrout & Julie Kagawa and some new to me authors that I can’t wait to read.  Later in the day you may find us at the Forever Romance/Grand Central Cocktail Hour.  BUT if you’re looking for us in lines, check Romina Russell, Karen Bao, Melissa Marr or Jennifer Armentrout!  And then we’re off to the incredible Blogger Rooftop party that the amazing Liza hosts! Â
Friday:  Sarah Maas, Jandy Nelson & Rachel Harris – those are basically the only three things that are on my radar for Friday… if  those don’t happen you will find me curled in a ball on the floor somewhere in the middle of the convention center crying tears of sadness.Â
Saturday: You will probably find us at the Javits again… there are a few things that we are kind of hoping to take part in during BookCon, but we’re also slightly afraid of what the crowd will be like. Most likely you will find me looking for Maggie Stiefvater & Jennifer Armentrout.
Then we get Sunday for doing anything we want! We’re planning some sightseeing & touristy things this year… the 9/11 Memorial, The Strand & Books of Wonder, and possibly going to see Bullets Over Broadway because Zach Braff. Â LOL
Remember – If you’re looking for an amazing spreadsheet of BEA things – Jenna from Jenna Does Books has created one… go take a look and then find her at BEA and kiss her because it’s amazing.Â
