The Armchair BEA is hijacking the morning posts this week from the pirates of ...and a bottle o'rum schedule.
A bit about vvb32 reads:
vvb32 reads turned 2 yrs old last February. The site shares the eclectic bunch of books vvb reads that range from Jane Austen to Zombies. Virtual book events and giveaways are fun activities found at vvb32 reads along with great interaction with commenters and fellow bloggers.
As I hope to visit BEA (Book Expo America) in the future, for now I am participating and attending (sorta) in a small way with The Armchair BEA. Join me or join in for a week of some BEA.
Last year I participated with these posts and started off with my BEA Dream Panel - steampunk. I loved this topic and decided to do it again for the first post.
My pick for today's topic: Name Your Dream Panel
- BEA is full of discussion panels where between 3 to 5 authors/publishers discuss various topics. If you could put together your own panel who (authors/publishers only) would be on it and what would they be discussing?
My dream panel this year: YA zombie authors and publishers
Authors:
by Carrie Harris
release date: July 2011
by Joan Frances Turner
by Jonathan Maberry

A Young Adult Zombie Novel

A Zombie Love Story
by K.A. Schloegel
Print Publishers:
Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Orbit

Special surprise ending:
A few zombies shuffle into the audience handing out Zombie themed CakePops
OKAY, now your turn.
What genre would you pick and who would be on your dream panel?
