2014 BEA Book Blogger Picnic
What: The BEA Book Blogger Picnic is a gathering for all book bloggers during BEA week. It’s a laid-back gathering, where we’ll simply be meeting others and talking about books, blogging, BEA, or anything at all!
Why: A lot of us book bloggers will be in NYC for BEA, and this picnic will allow us to get together in one place at one time!
Who: ALL book bloggers are welcome, whether you’re attending BEA or not!
Where: The lawns outside Heckscher Playground (see map below) near the SW corner of Central Park in NYC. Look for me, Alexa, Katelyn, and Jen in bright pink BEA Book Blogger Picnic shirts!
When: Friday, May 30, 6-8pm. This is a come-and-go event, so it’s okay to come late or leave early!
Bring your own food (if you want), and meet us at the lawns outside the Heckscher Playground! Here’s a map of the SW corner of Central Park. If you go into the park from Columbus Circle, you should be able to find us pretty easily, since we will be between Columbus Circle and Heckscher Playground. Be sure to look for us in the bright pink shirts! We may also have a sign.
What: The BEA Book Blogger Meet and Drink is a kind of happy hour for all book bloggers during BEA week. It’s a laid-back gathering, where we’ll simply be meeting others and talking about books, blogging, BEA, or anything at all!
Why: Lots of book bloggers will be in town for BEA, and this way we can get together and just meet and chat and have a drink or two!
Who: ALL book bloggers are welcome, whether you’re attending BEA or not!
Where: Tir Na Nog Irish Bar & Grill, 315 W 39th St., between 8th & 9th Ave. There are two Tir Na Nogs in Manhattan, so make sure you go to the one on 39th! We will be in the front bar area, but just ask for the book blogger group if you’re not sure where we are!
When: Saturday, May 31, 8-10pm. This is a come-and-go event, so it’s okay to come late or leave early! We can also hang out there later if people want to stick around after!
We are so super excited to host both of these events this year! Here are a couple more buttons, in case you want to add some to your sidebar or share them on Twitter or Instagram! (You can also use the graphics above as buttons!)

May 6, 2014 at 12:22 amI'd love to attend both, as long as I have the stamina! BEA can be exhausting but I really want to make the effort to meet lots of fellow bloggers. Can't wait!

May 19, 2014 at 6:51 pmI am going to try to make it to one of these! Although I'll be staying with my sister who lives in the Upper East Side, so will depend how I feel about venturing back out after BEA.
