[NorwegianBook]

Wow. Now I totally love you!!!! Can't wait to look through it. I love this group so much. Thank you.

[Hannah]

I can't take credit. This was emailed to me by a really awesome person who wants to stay anonymous.

[Krista]

My head might explode.

Richelle Mead is going to be signing The Firey Heart?!?! I thought for sure it'd be Gameboard of the Gods. I'm making her a top priority. SO EXCITED!

[Hannah]

Remember, these are all subject to change but also only the autographing area - not publisher booth signings. Some authors might be signing in booth too.

[Lexie]

sweet mother..well at least I can start prioritizing some of what I want (like Alethea Kontis, Sarah J Maas, Maria V. Snyder, Diana Peterfreund...).

[Running]

I WANT THEM ALL.

[Hannah]

I know. At first I was flailing and freaking, but now I'm more rational and have started prioritizing.

[Lexie]

This also answers the question of whether Brandon Sanderson is signing the Rithmatist or not. So now I don't have to ask off of work so I can go see him.

[Running]

YOU SHOULD STILL COME SEE ME.

[Hannah]

Wait - what? You aren't going every day, Lexie?

And this list doesn't count in booth signings. He may be signing something else his publisher's booth!

[Lexie]

Nonono Hannah I was going to go to middle of nowheresville PA to see Brandon Sanderson--but now I can avoid that and just gush over him at Book Expo!

HANNAH THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY SOMEONE COULD TELL ME TO NOT GO EVERY DAY.

How 'bout this Nicole we'll plan a weekend together in May before BEA (since this month I'm blitzed.)?

[Hannah]

Whew. I was a bit nervous there. I though the POD people had kidnapped Lexie's brain.

[Lexie]

lol they're trying really hard, but there are some things worth fighting for not love, don't listen to THE HOST

[Hannah]

I think the ones I MUST hit are:

Jennifer Armentrout
Kendare Blake
Jennifer Castle
Susan Dennard
Simone Elkeles
Jordana Frankel
Abbi Glines
Sylvia Day
Amie Kaufman
Sarah Maas
Richelle Mead
Veronica Rossi
Eve Silver
Katie Sise
Amy Tintera
Kat Zhang

[Lexie]

Point of interest--Publisher's Weekly will be putting out their special BEA issue April 29th chocked full of information (which may be after the BEA site puts their stuff up, but galley drop information is traditionally found in the PW sneak peek).

[Hannah]

I LOVE that edition! Must have it.

[Krista]

How do you get it. Does B&N sell trade pubs like that? I must have it!!

[Lexie]

Last year I bought mine offline Krista--my two local B&N's didn't have it, but you can buy it online from PW for like $8 or something like that (or get a digital edition).

They will also, after a bit of time, post it online to view in a less comprehensible and slightly less detailed accounting in their "BEA" section: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by...

[Hannah]

I got the digital edition on my Nook last year for free because I signed up for a trial subscription ... and then forgot to cancel it for like 5 months. Whoops.

[Lexie]

Don't have a Nook :/ and Amazon is like YOU WILL PAY UPFRONT OR ELSE.

[Jay]

oh WOW! I am SO excited for Lauren Oliver, Jennifer Armentrout, Jordana Frankel, Veronica Rossi, Katie Sise, Richelle Mead and Ally Carter (though I met Ally last month, GG#6!!!! OMG!)

thanks for this awesome list.

[Michelle]

Gosh, looks like I have some homework to do... I barely know any of those authors. Some I'm aware of, a very few I've read before, most are completely new to me. o.O

[Hannah]

Michelle wrote: "Gosh, looks like I have some homework to do... I barely know any of those authors. Some I'm aware of, a very few I've read before, most are completely new to me. o.O"

I know ... and it's not even the complete list. It's awesome.

[Jackie]

I feel the same way, Michelle. What authors do you guys recommend as must reads ? I'm always looking for new authors to check out :)

[Jackie]

I feel the same way, Michelle. What authors do you guys recommend as must reads ? I'm always looking for new authors to check out :)

[Lexie]

Top 5 (from that list, in no particular order):

1) Brandon Sanderson (Genre: Fantasy)
2) Elizabeth Norris (Genre: YA Scifi)
3) Sarah MacLean (Genre: Historical Romance)
4) Bella Andre (Genre: Contemporary Romance)
5) Gretchen McNeil (Genre: YA Thriller)

Honorable Mentions go to: Sarah J Maas (YA Fantasy), Maria V Snyder (YA Fantasy, Romance, Scifi), and Jennifer L. Armentrout (YA Paranormal). I tried to have a diverse selection up top however.

[Krista]

After careful plotting, spreadsheeting and highlighting, I've determined that, if this list holds true, my priorities are:

Richelle Mead (!!!!!)
Diana Gabaldon
Cinda Williams Chima
Jennifer L. Armentrout
Rick Riordan
Simone Elkeles
Sarah Maas

There are others on the list I'd like to see, and will try to, provided they don't interfere with any of the above. Hopefully, my priority authors won't be signing at the same time!!

I'd also love to see Jane O'Connor - my daughter LOVES Fancy Nancy, and coincidentally, her 7th birthday is June 5. A signed Fancy Nancy book would be the perfect birthday gift!

[Jackie]

Thanks, Lexie ! I'll check out those authors

[Stephanie (Stephs Stacks)]

Hannah, you are the absolute best! Work has been crazy, so I have been slacking on my BEA posts, but now you have inspired me to get on it! Seeing a preliminary author list reminds me that it is just around the corner and I need to get cracking on scheduling!!! Thank you so much, you rock!

[Stephanie (Stephs Stacks)]

LOL

[Hannah]

Awww! Thank you Stephanie!!!!! I can't wait to read more of your posts!!!

[Stephanie (Stephs Stacks)]

I am a little sidetracked right now by the amazing list someone shared...but I'm going to get my ADD in check and get to work. For real :) Thank you!!!

[[deleted user]]

Yay, sneak peeks! I've only skimmed the list but for now I'm most excited about Maria V. Snyder and Rick Riordan. HUZZAH!!
