Armchair BEA: Real Life Book Experience!

OK, the topic for today was a real life bookish experience which would definitely be fun to write about! Problem? I've never had a real life bookish experience. Why? Because...
  • There are no indie bookstores within 25 miles of me
  • My local library never has any fun programs
  • No authors come to Sugar land. Austin, Dallas, and Houston, but usually on a school day so...
That's basically it. I asked one of the moderators on what I should do and she said that I could "express my frustration with he lack of opportunities" or how I may start networking outside the WWW.

So...

Since I have never been to any type of book convention, I always try to track down all the bookish events and see if I can go. And guess what? I finally found one: Teen Author Carnival. I'll be in NYC on June 5 and June 11 so this corresponded perfectly! I'm so glad I found out about it! Since I'm scheduling this, I have no idea what I felt yesterday...that's weird. This is basically a past me talking about yesterday me...anyways! I think that with Summer Break here, I can actually go to one of the eve ts that's 5 hours away or something! Hopefully! This is pretty short, but that's all I have so..bye!

  1. I feel for you! The only indie book shop within 50 miles only sells adult non-fiction, and my librarians are mean and never do events.

    Luckily my grandparents only live a couple of hours away in DC where there are always a ton of events. I'm planning on going to a signing or two this summer (=

Welcome all! I'd love to hear what you think, even if they're lies saying that my reviews are fantastic. I take flattery in all forms ;D
