This is going to end up being a lot. I've listed out the BEA / Blogger's Conference titles by day, but also since I haven't posted a regular STS post for a while, I am also including the purchased books since then.
So without further ado, here are my acquisitions in May.

So many awesome books! And kudos on finding some Star Wars and Star Trek books at BEA! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI think my strategy worked pretty well. First year at BEA, I was so overwhelmed that I picked up everything thinking even if I don't want it, someone will. I still have a lot of those books to give away.
DeleteThis year I was focused on the books I actually wanted while keeping my eye out for things I thought other people would actually like rather than grabbing random books.
As a result, I was able to find almost all the priority books I wanted.
Now I just need to find time to read.
What a great haul! It's really cool that you got to go to BEA, I've heard that it's such a fun and fantastic experience! I hope you enjoy all of your books; you got quite a lot! :)
ReplyDeleteKrystianna @ Downright Dystopian
BEA is an amazing experience. It's worth it alone for the books. But just being able to meet the publishers, authors and other bloggers, to network is the best.
DeleteI used to work in a book store and my absolute favorite part of the job was unpacking the boxes full of brand new books.
Jacob Javits becomes like the biggest box of books ever received!
If you ever get the opportunity to attend any kind of a book conference, I recommend you do.
