Are you blue because you weren’t able to get to NYC for all the fun, frivolity, and awesome interaction of Book Expo America?

Yea….me too! Good news is that there are a couple of amazing virtual events that will bring those of us who couldn’t get there together to enjoy the goings on as well.

Rebecca of Book Lady’s Blog has put together a fabulous get together called the BEAtwittyparty. Get it? Pity party? I just love it, so witty! Get it? Pity, witty, twitty….oh heck, you get my point, LOL.

Anyway, yours truly is going to be in attendance but in case that isn’t enough check out the giant list Rebecca posted that outlines who’s going to be making an appearance. Wanna know what’s even better? Many of those same people are going to be running fabulous giveaways during the party. So run on over and show everyone some love by visiting their blogs, following them on Twitter, and definitely come join in on the BEAtwittyparty tonight from 8-10pm EST.

Not to be outdone, Jen over at Devourer of Books is promoting her No BEA? Books Anyway initiative. I know I’m feeling a little saddened and left out by not being able to get my grubby paws on some of the phenomenal ARC’s and giveaways publishers are giving BEA attendees. BUT that’s not going to stop me from showing the love this weekend. Go out and treat yourself to a new book in honor and support of BEA. Of course, this is a fabulous excuse for me to go out and buy myself some more books (as if I really need the excuse). Naturally I’m going to embrace it with vigor!

Wanna play? If so reply here and tell me what you’re looking to get.Give everyone suggestions and recommendations on what you’ve read that we might find interesting. Oh and come play with us tonight at the BEAtwittyparty!
