Armchair BEA Wrap Up & New Books

6:52 PM | Posted by: | | Edit Post

Armchair BEA - or ABEA as I've seen it called - is officially over. *sad face* I didn't get to participate in as much as I've liked to. I've started strong doing the self-interview on Day 1 and also posting on Day 2. Then real life got in the way and I didn't do another ABEA post until Friday. But I've managed to catch up a little yesterday, visiting some more blogs and commenting. Overall, I was blown away this week. So many great book blogs out there. And I couldn't even visit everyone. Far from it. 
Twitter: I missed the first two chats, because the first one was an ungodly hour for me. And well, I forgot about the second one.....Yeah. But I did make the 3rd one! Third time's the charm, right? And it was a blast. I even won *something*. Yay~

I've learned a great deal of new things this week about book blogging. Thanks y'all for the great advices and for being awesome! :) It really helped this newbie blogger. :)  And I hope some of you who have visited my blog (for the first time?) will come back again (and again)!  

Huge thanks for the ABEA team for this super awesome event! 

How was your ABEA/BEA week? 



I didn't buy any books this week, was too busy with ABEA and life in general.  But there's one book I have to show you all. 
Signed copy of Slated by Teri Terry. 
The original picture. But the cover is more GREEN in real life. The light in my room is not the best at night....  
 And since I love this cover so much., I've played around with it a little:


Won @ Demention. Thank you so much Teri!! 
Btw, Demention is a group blog of 3 amazing authors: Teri Terry, Julie Bertagna and Julienne Durber. I just love their blog, so many awesome posts! (Plus what a unique name. Love it!) Check it out if you haven't already!
I'm already halfway through Slated, and it's sooo good. :) *insanely happy to have this book*

+ I got the BEA Buzz book from Netgalley:

  3. I know what you mean about not being able to participate that much. I started my new job on Monday and even though it's work from home, I was still busy with training, etc. I did post, but I didn't have time to visit as many blogs as I wanted. There were SO many participants! What a great event though, right? I hope you enjoyed the parts that you did get to join in on. =O)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog today and letting me know about the reply function in blogger. If you get a chance, would you mind telling me how to add it? I would really appreciate it!

  4. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cayce! I have threaded comments on all my blogs now. You're awesome!

    Did you receive Eromenos yet from the author? Thought I'd check while I was at it. I know she did send it out.

    1. Yay! I'm glad I could help :)

      Yes, I got Eromenos...last week, I think. Sorry, I forgot to let you know that I've received it. :(

      Posted about it in here. And I am really looking forward to reading it :) I'm very interested in Greco-Roman history, plus I like M/M stories.
      It's next on my tbr list after I finish Slated.

  12. It's been a busy week and with all the participants it's good that the links will be available so I can continue working my way through the lists. I was happy that I managed to get the posts done every day, especially since I didn't know about the event until Tuesday morning. :)

    1. And it was great that they didn't close the link-ups at the end of the day, that way I could link up later in the week.

      Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed ABEA! :)
