BEA Book Haul: Day One!

Post-BEA self-portrait

YOU GUYS, I HAVE NEVER KNOWN SUCH EXHAUSTION. Nor such excitement. BEA was complete lunacy, and I was mad to ever attempt it, but it's also probably the best thing I've ever done. I've had so much fun and gotten so many books I want to show you! My friend Lili from Lili's Reflections was staying with me, so we filmed our book haul videos together, in case you're wondering who the crazy girl on my right is.

Bear in mind, we filmed these right after getting home from a looooong day of lugging books, standing in line, not-eating, power-walking past slow people (AND PEOPLE WHO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF PATHWAYS, AKA THE PEOPLE WHO NEED TO DIE), and trying to find a cab downtown at rush hour in 90+ degree heat. SO. Do not judge me by the things my melted candle of a brain says, nor by the way I look.

Without further ado, here is my book haul from Day One of BEA, aka Thursday, May 30.
