Meet me at the BEA (3). Well, I just have to smile.

You know how I was just recently recalling my first BEA signing, where I stood (Bravely. Enduringly. Boldly. You'd Have Been Proud of Me.) next to Jodi Picoult—her long, long, long line of fans nearly out the door and my line, well, not so out the door?

This year, I recently discovered, I will be standing (Bravely. It Better Be Enduringly. Hopefully You'll Still Be Proud of Me.) again in the presence of greatness, as Megan McDonald, the creator of the adorable Judy Moody series, signs at a table near mine, at the very exact same time.

I'm going to be reporting on this and many other things—sending along brief videos of Egmont USA's Elizabeth Law and Greg Ferguson, say, or my early morning walk through the aisles—for the Armchair BEA series.

I am already smiling.  (Bravely.)
