Hi everyone! As I mentioned last month, I went to Chicago for BEA & BookCon 2016! It was simply a fantastic time. I met tons of authors that I love and admire, and I got nearly 200 books (not all of them are pictured below because some were sent out in the mail at the time. I also gave some away).
I shared pics of my haul each day on twitter, but I realized I never officially posted about them here. I apologize for the photos' poor quality; they were taken with my camera phone on a hotel room floor. Not really #bookstagram material. If you'd like to see a list of most of the books I got, check out the Goodreads shelf I created.
Trying to motivate myself to go explore the city, but I just want to decompress. Anyway, here's my day 1 #BEA16 haul pic.twitter.com/ZCTXQ4ChPD

I still haven't read a single book from this haul yet. I attempted to read one, but I ended up hating the writing style, so I DNF'd it (more on that another time). I'm actually dealing with a terrible reading slump right now. I'm hoping that I can decide on a book to read soon and just settle in with it. In my experience, I just need to ride slumps out.
Get any good books lately?
OMG that's A LOT of books! I can't wait to read some of them - especially Replica! Good luck and happy reading :)

Thanks, Sofia! I had little to no self control while I was there!
DeleteThose are some insane haul days! I hope you enjoy most (if not all) of these!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jay! I had little to no self control, but it's BEA!
