Blanchard Mon, 30 May 2011 22:48:26 +0000 http://bookbloggerconvention.com/?p=1039#comment-7301 That was an excellent post. First of all, I didn't even know about the book blog search engine so that was great, I went over and asked them to add my blog. Secondly, I feel better about the fact that I add personal things in my blog posts, or on my about page. I sometimes feel like I'm writing in a vacuum and i don't know if people really want to know about my life experiences. I try not to make it a vanity blog but but I tend to write more personally in my reviews then a lot of people do and I don't' know if that is a good thing or not. I always feel like other bloggers are so much better at reviewing then me because they keep it more 3rd person but I can only write what I experience. Anyway...thanks again for a little affirmation today! That was an excellent post.

If you're on Twitter I've found that's the easiest way to connect with bloggers going :) Love the Snapple idea, Alexia! That's really clever, leaving something in your checked bag like that. Susannah - I had no issues with books going missing from my FedEx box. There were a few books that I kept on my person because they were really 'coveted' but I don't know that that was even necessary. I've heard stories of books being taken but haven't known it to happen to anyone I know personally so I don't know if it really happened or they are just stories :) Thanks for the comments, everyone :)

I had read about the hot dog cart on another blog and it saved me $$$! I also brought a couple of Snapples with me and left them in the front pocket of my suitcase, to grab when I dropped off books. Had them in an insulated bag, so they kept cool. Also carried a water bottle, as you want to stay hydrated. Hope to run into you in line somewhere! :) Great tips!
