Books to Read Before BEA

So in 34 days I will be on my way to New York for BEA, and I have a TON of books I have not read. I am challenging myself to read 33 books before then. I am not really sure if it will happen, but it's a goal. Catching up on some of the ones I have will be a fabulous idea before BEA, as I'll get some new ones there as well.

Katie is doing a similar challenge over at her blog, so go cheer her on here!

My list:

1 - Raised by Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

2 - Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

3 - Beautiful Dead: Arizona by Eden Maguire

4 - Beautiful Dead: Summer by Eden Maguire

5 - Maybe Now, Maybe Never by Kimberly Joy Peters

6 - Rise by Stefne Miller

7 - Heisit Society by Ally Carter
8 - A Touch Mortal by Leah Clifford

9 - Rival by Sarah Bennett Wealer

10 - Between Shades of Grey

11 - So Much Closer by Susane Colasanti

12 - Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

13 - If I Stay by Gayle Foreman

14 - Scars by Cheryl Rainfield

15 - Red Riding Hood

16 - 50/50 Monologues for Student Actors by Mary Depner

17 - Across the Universe by Beth Revis

18 - Delirium by Lauren Oliver

19 - When I Was Joe

20 - King of Ithaka

21 - The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

22 - Fall For Anything by Courtney Summers

23 - Original Sin by Lisa Desrochers

24 - Draw the Dark by Ilsa J Bick

25 - John Belushi is Dead by Karen Charles

26 - Flawless by Laura Chapman

27 - Instructions for a Broken Heart by Kim Culbertson

28 - Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs

29 - The A Circuit by Georgina Bloomberg & Chatherine Hapka

30 - The Survivors by Amanda Havard

31- Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter
32 - Secrets and Shadows by Shannon Delany

33 - Defiance by Lili St Crow

I should do something similar before BEA! You totally need to read If I Stay!! I have a bunch of similar ones on my list to read as well. Good luck with your challenge and hopefully we'll see each other around at BEA! :)

Good luck Erica! I have no doubt that you can read 30 books before BEA! And I recommend starting with Clockwork Angel or Raised By Wolves. I loved those!

Between Shades of Gray is amazing! That one made me cry. If I Stay is also great, and a tearjerker.

Also I highly approve of Nighthshade. Plus a lot of others are in my TBR pile. Good luck with the challenge!

You have a great lot of books to choose from. I'd star with Delirium or Clockwork Angel.

I'd go with Clockwork Angel and Across The Universe, both great reads. :P

I totally started this challenge! :-D

Best of luck, I would recommend CLOCKWORK ANGEL because Tessa is awesome. Fall For Anything is such a quick read. If I Stay is one of those books you will also be able to knock out in a day but prolly won't be able to start anything else immediately after, because of the need to process it and the emotions it brings.

This is a great idea, I may have to do this too! My favorites are Heist Society and Nightshade. Good luck!

Ok, now I really feel out of the loop! This is my first experience with a BEA, and I'm really considering going because I live so closely, but I don't understand why you want to read those particular books beforehand. Is it because those authors will be there? Only a few of those books are on my own list, would I be lost? I'm so confused as to what this thing is!!

And get to work! That's a lot of books to read before BEA.
