For the first time, BookExpo America is allowing a limited group of bookloving folks to come behind the scenes and join us for a day (Thursday, June 7, to be precise) of authors, discussions, upcoming titles, and more. There are only 1,000 tickets, and you must have a registration code to purchase. Fortunately, we’ve got one to share with you! Use WL9X to register, and we’ll see you on the show floor.
