So, expect a lot of great giveaways in the upcoming months! I am unfamiliar with a lot of these books, but I have heard great things about all of them. I got a lot of recommendations from fellow YA bloggers. Everything was organized nicely this year - I didn't see any of the fighting that was reported last year, in fact, most of the people there were very helpful. In fact, on blogger told me about The Raven Boys giveaway and held my place in line for Lauren Kate.
I did an awful lot of fan-girling - SQUEEING! and the such. I wasn't even the oldest one in line for a change!
I also picked up a really cool Allegiant bag from Veronica Roth, she was signing posters but I had no way to get it home without ruining it. I plan on giving that away when I get home! I am sure someone will appreciate it! Unfortunately with traveling from California to NYC, stuff is expensive to ship, so I can't bring home alot. I did meet Melissa De la Cruz -- what a wonderful person! I did pick up an extra copy of Minds of Salem which I will giveaway some time in July!
I am sure there is a lot that I am forgetting but as brain starts to function again, I will post more.
Wow you got some awesome books!
ReplyDeleteawesome! i am super excited about the 100 and the dream thieves.
ReplyDeleteYes, I got really lucky with The Dream Thieves. I plan on giving away everything I got here on the blog...no reason not to share. The 100 book was recommended by another blogger.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous! I want The Dream Thieves so bad! You have a couple others that look really good too, the Hirsch one and the Meg Cabot one is a series I've read the first in and loved!
ReplyDelete*heart stopped* The Dream Thieves! I LOVE LOVE LOVED The Raven Boys so I'm dying to get my hands on it. Awesome book haul!!

ReplyDeleteAllegiant--cool!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear an update and that it's squee worthy! Woo Hoo!
Actually I'm most jealous of the Allegent bag! ( I've already made peace with the fact that I don't get ARCs)
ReplyDeleteOh some very lovely books on that pile. I spot The 100 which is one I'm really wanting to read. Have fun the rest of the week!!
ReplyDeleteOh Crown of Midnight! Definitely excited about that one! Media mail doesn't cost too much to mail though it does add up if you have many boxes. I just sent a big box of books to my mom for only $12. (In case you didn't already know, cause I cant imagine carrying all the books home).
ReplyDeleteThat Marie Antoinette Serial Killer looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! You got an ARC of the Dream Thieves??! Maggie is my favorite author! You're so lucky!!!! Gah! I would kill for that! Okay not kill ... but maybe maim a little? Hee hee :)
ReplyDeleteLucky duck you got Wait For You? How did you manage that! I got a copy of Frigid. I also got the second Raven Boys today, I was SOOOO excited! Glad to see you're enjoying BEA as much as I am!
ReplyDeleteI got super lucky with the Dream Thieves. Another blogger I was waiting in line with told me they were giving them and she held my place and just told me "RUN"! so I did!
ReplyDeleteI was told that Wait For You is new adult? I was lucky enough to get an invite to the Harper party (my only one!) and I got it there.
Fantastic! I'm jealous. -But that's awesome that you will be giving them away on the blog!
