Swoony Boys Podcast Episode 7 – #BEA13 Was, Like, Totally Awesome (with special guests: the girls from Fiction Fare)

Sorry it’s been so long since our last episode! We’re back, and we’re discussing BEA (Book Expo America) with fellow book bloggers and travel companions, Jaime and Erin, from Fiction Fare. You’ll hear about the prep to get ready for BEA, some of the books we got at BEA 2013, some of the authors we got to meet, the parties we got to schmooze at, and the general epic awesomeness of it all. Have a listen and leave us comment to let us know what your favorite part of BEA was (if you went) or what you’re looking forward to doing next year with us at #BEA14!
