#ArmChairBEA Twitter Party!

One of the best things about BEA is getting to meet other bloggers and chat about our favorite thing, books!

Well, don't let the miles of distance between us stop you from having a wonderful conversation with bloggers just like you.

Join us on Thursday, May 27 from 8-10 pm EST for some great conversation. Make sure you are using the #armchairBEA hashtag in order to get in on the fun, and follow me @emsreadingroom. Also, you may want to look into using TweetGrid, TwitterChat, or TweetDeck to keep up with the conversation.

Some of the topics we'll be discussing are:
  • What we are reading now
  • ARC's we most want from BEA
  • Authors we'd most like to meet
  • Dream panels of BEA or BBC authors
  • And whatever comes to mind
So, pop a bag of popcorn, grab your computer and join us for some Armchair BEA fun! Please add your name and Twitter handle to the Mr. Linky below. This isn't required, but it's nice to know how many people are signed up, and also a good way to meet other bookish tweeps.

Oh, and if you participate with us using the #ArmchairBEA hashtag, you have a chance to win some of this. We've got 10 packs to give away and 2 of them are international!


Can't wait to see you there!

CRAP! Left my URL instead of Twitter one: @thehistorychic (what can I say it has been a week )!

Teresa said...

I did the same thing! @teresasreading

How funny! I didn't even realize that I was supposed to leave my twitter id until reading the comments. @athomewithbooks

I'm hoping I'll be able to pop into the conversation at least for the first 15 minutes, but I won't be able to stay long after that. I have a concert, which means I'm not only missing the bulk of the twitter party, but also my son's preschool graduation.

I'm going to try my best to join in! Not sure what plans the DH might have though.

Erin Dealey said...

I will be by for part of it at least. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Grr, while I did post the URL to my Twitter profile, I left my anme and not twitter id, so here it is @Stella_ExLibris :-)

This sounds great! :-)

Will be there, working around bed time routines

Marg said...

I am not sure my boss will be thrilled with me joining in given that it will be 10am my time! Hope everyone else has fun!
