After several years talking books and nearly a year podcasting together, Team Bookrageous (referred to internally as JoshBeccEnn, you know, like Brangelina) finally got ourselves into a room together and whaddya know, it was amazing. Also, Scott Westerfeld sang in harmony with himself. As Donald Duck. But more about that later.

Here’s the first half of our recap of Book Expo America 2011. This episode will be pretty familiar to anyone who has listened to the show before; it’s our traditional top half, with a discussion of the books that we’re reading right now. Tomorrow, our discussion of the big books we’re excited about from the show will go live.

Enjoy, subscribe, and let us know what you’d like to see in future episodes.
