Armchair BEA was created in 2010 by a group of five individuals who were bummed to be missing Book Expo of America (BEA) in New York City. This group decided that with today's technology, we could still experience BEA from the comfort of our own homes ... and Armchair BEA was created!
I was one of the original founders, and this is one of the events that I am most proud of being a part of! This year, we have expanded our Armchair Team and I have listed this team for you below. Be sure to check out these awesome folks, and be watching Armchair BEA Central for brief interviews featuring all of them!

I haven't signed up. Is there still time for me to get involved?
YES! Simply click on over to the Participant Registration Form, subscribe to the blog, and follow @ArmchairBEA AND #ArmchairBEA on Twitter to get the latest and greatest news and updates. Begin planning your posts now if you have a blog of your own. And, for my own shameless plug, be sure to do the same for all things Tif Talks Books to see what I have to say here as well (though I am posting multiple times over on the Central Site as well!).
