Warning: this is going to be a giant post. I went to BEA last week and had the best time ever. I love being surrounded by book people. I met some awesome authors and bloggers and got a crap ton of books. I had my sister as a guide and no idea what I was getting into. It was really an overwhelming experience, but I loved it and I can't wait to go back next year! So, I'm going to break down this IMM by day.
