Last Tuesday and Wednesday I had the opportunity to attend BookExpo America (BEA) in the city. Basically the two days consisted of hearing about upcoming books, getting a TON of free books (and I mean a suitcase full!) and getting to have the authors autograph books. It's heaven!
Here are a few books that I got my hands on that I'm excited to read:
For the Win by Doctorow--The author's last book Little Brother is a favorite of mine.
I Am Number Four by Lore--A new sci fi series. The film version is already optioned with some involvement by Steven Spielberg.
Monsters of Men by Ness--The 3rd and final book in the Chaos Walking trilogy!
The Agency: A Spy in the House by Lee--A female detective in Victorian England.
Revolution by Donnelly--The author of A Northern Light returns with a tale of two girls living two centuries apart.
I also had the chance to attend a party at Scholastic for Mockingjay the 3rd and final book of the Hunger Games Trilogy. Hearing Suzanne Collins read from the final book was definitely the highlight of my week. (see picture above--taken by Jen Marino)
