BookExpo America

The BEA is where publishers and booksellers go to find out what one another is doing, to meet and greet and get excited. It's always been too overwhelming for me: gazillions of books being touted by gazillions of people. It's like a gigantic unorganized bookstore. Who's where and what they've got isn't easy to sort out. Library Journal (via HuffPo) has published a good piece listing what's hot enough that publishers are giving away advance copies, if you're curious about the upcoming publishing calendar, and what people are pushing.
