Before I begin I want to wish Tynga an amazing birthday! Happy birthday, T!
Hello, everyone! It's been a super long time since I've done one of these so I'm excited to be back. There's a very special reason that I am doing this week's STS and that's because I visited BEA last weekend! Yes, you heard right! It was everything I hoped it would be and more and my haul is mouth-watering. I'm exercising as much restraint as I can to finish my current for-review books, but the second they're done I am diving into this pile and never turning back!
Below is a vlog of me quickly showing you my books, their covers, whether they're signed, etc. If you want a more detailed and entertaining vlog showcasing my friend, Gillian, who was kind enough to let me crash at her apartment for three nights, than go to my personal blog and check it out here.
 
 
Everything with an asterisk is signed! In no particular order, the haul that is making me go nuts for eternity! <3

Giveaway
While at BEA I helped an adult blogger with her suitcase because she was struggling to put her books away. She repaid me by stuffing some random young adult books into my suitcase without showing me what they were. When I opened up my suitcase I learned that I got an extra copy of COLDEST GIRL IN COLDTOWN. So, I've decided to give it away! You can enter to win it here! Sorry, but it's US only. I'm a broke-preparing-for-college girl!

  35. Haha I was with a few people and we all sort of fanned out and conquered haha <3

    ReplyDelete
  36. I do, Grace <3 I'm sorry I couldn't find you on Saturday!

    ReplyDelete
  37. There was an issue with the HTML for it on my part. :/ I put it in improperly, sorry!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I was staying with a friend in Manhattan and then I live a 30 minute drive out from NYC so after Saturday I had my Dad pick me up with two suitcases full of books and it really helps when your Dad is 6 foot 3 and able to lift like 80 pounds easily. haha <3

    ReplyDelete
  39. It was my mistake! Sorry guys! >_<

    ReplyDelete
  40. This was my first year and it was everything I hoped it would be and more!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Haha I waited on line for like two hours for that one! You'd have to fight me for it!

    I made a mistake with the HTML sorry :/

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thanks! <3 This is like a once a year thing. I MUST go back to BEA next year haha

    ReplyDelete
  43. Haha it means that we were both incredibly successful!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Amazing book haul! I am so glad you had a great time. Happy birthday to Tynga.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thank you! My fingers are certainly crossed!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Haha well you be going next year? I'll be sure to find you!

    ReplyDelete
  47. There was an accident with the linky on my part :/

    There were several people at BEA who are from Australia! They just saved up a lot for their ticket and stayed with friends in NYC for free so it would cost left and then shipping was their big issue. Again, saving up haha Or you can bring an extra suitcase (even if it costs more) and fill it with as many books as you can as long as it does not exceed the weight limit.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Thank you! And I'm hopefully going to be doing a few giveaways because there were some accidental doubles in there mentioned below.

    ReplyDelete
  49. You definitely can! Even if it's as a power reader on Saturday because it costs less, I still got like 25 books that day!

    ReplyDelete
  50. You definitely will! It's so worth it!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Haha yes, it's deliciously long <3 but this is my reading material for 2013 so I'm rather happy.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Thank you! I love your blog name haha

    ReplyDelete
  53. There was an issue with the HTML on my part. I'm sorry!

    Don't be jealous! I'm going to try to spread the love a little haha

    ReplyDelete
  54. I'm okay with breaking the shelves ;) But prior to going I actually cleared one of my tall, thing bookcases entirely to support BEA books only and they just barely fit, so we're good!

    ReplyDelete
  55. You can definitely get there this year!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Haha it's my feet that suffered. I'm an ex pitcher so I used to have to weight lift and such so my arms were fine, surprisingly. It helps to have a 6 foot three dad who can easily lift 80 pounds who helped take all the suitcases home haha <3

    ReplyDelete
  57. It wouldn't have happened and can only happen at BEA haha <3

    ReplyDelete
  58. I messed up the linky by accident.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Haha oh gosh it was terrible waiting on that line. My friend did it for me and got one of the last copies and I about hugged her.

    ReplyDelete
  60. You should go to BEA one year!

    Thank you <3 I made a bookcase just for them haha

    ReplyDelete
  61. It's something any reader should do once in their life!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Thank you! And yes, Happy birthday to T!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Happy Birthday, Tynga!

    And BEA was fantastic, wasn't it? It was my first time, too, and although my feet were KILLING me by Friday, I'd definitely do it all over again!

    And what a great haul! You got so many that I wanted but couldn't get to. But that's okay, I'll get them someday! :D

    ReplyDelete
  64. Amazing haul! I wish we could've gone this year. Maybe next year! Enjoy all your amazing books! Happy Birthday Tynga! Thanks for sharing and happy reading!

  66. Hi Lili, you are so lucky!! Great haul:)

    Just in case you haven't heard, something is wrong with the linky this week. I couldn't put my name and blog in the name column. It's only letting me put 10 characters. But I see other bloggers have put their entire name, so I don't know what's going on.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Wow! What an incredible haul!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Wow that haul is amaaaaazing! I'm so jealous to everyone who got to go to. Hope you'll enjoy your books! =D

    ReplyDelete
  69. Oooooooh wow! So wish I could've gone to BEA!! Luckily I only saw like 1 or 2 books that I am completely and totally envious of! Lots of others that I am jealous of. Cannot wait for Anitgoddess though! Happy Reading!

    My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by!

    Have a GREAT weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Loved comparing your BEA list to mine. We had 14 books in common. But I am jealous that you got 6 books that I wasn't able to: The Witch of Little Italy, The Testing, Dare You To, The Coldest Girl in Coldtown, The Moon and More, and The Bone Season.

    BEA was fantastic!!

  90. One of these days I plan on going to a book convention. They never seem to be close enough and with being in the military and moving around, if I'm going to spend a bunch of money on a plane ticket, I'm gonna go home to visit family and friends. Hopefully I get lucky and our next base will be near a convention site. Can't wait to see all of your upcoming reviews :)
