Has anyone gone to bookcon? Is it good? Are there any other great book conventions?

I went the first year, in NYC. I met Jodi Picoult, Kathy Reichs, and Ruth Reichl. There was opportunity to meet more, I was slightly overwhelmed.

This year it will be in Chicago. It follows Book Expo America, which is for bloggers, authors, and people in that world. It’s my ultimate goal, lol. I didn’t know that they weren’t always in NYC until this year… but I never knew about these things until I bought the ticket then!

Southern festival of books was fun. It’s a weekend in October down here in Nashville.
