I'M BACK FROM BEA! And I'm... exhausted! However, the blogging show must go on, so here are the books I snagged at Book Expo America. In the vlog I'll list my top ten books of BEA, share which book caused a Hunger Games situation, and clasp my number one most anticipated read to my cheek, like normal people do. Below that, I'll show you every single book I got while I was in New York!

I haven't read anything by Julie Kagawa yet either! Your BEA haul is epic, and I'm jealous but very happy for you. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally need Exquisite Captive and Afterworlds in my life now. Bookception! :D
ReplyDeleteAngie @ Pinkindle
I am so excited for youuuuuuuuuu all the great books. And I am only hating you a little over the Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet and Mortal Heart because I need them like air.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this makes sense but I may be more jealous of the totes than anything lol Great haul!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. I've been waiting for a post like this to see what books they had at BEA. So many great ones it seems. I hope you enjoy reading them. I personally can't wait to read talon by Julie Kagawa when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! So many great books! Wish I could read so many of them. Haha!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Nope, you aren't the only YA book blogger who hasn't read anything by Julie Kagawa. I haven't either, also because The Fae has never been something I liked either.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your goodies and happy reading.
OMG o.O I can't stop staring at your beautiful haul! So so excited for This Shattered World, The Young Elites, Killer Instinct and Talon! I have an eARC of Exquisite Captive and I'm really excited for that too.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all of these! I'm sure you will ;)
Richa @ City of Books
Wow. Success!! Can't wait to see some of your reviews.
ReplyDeleteWe both petted Heir of Fire in our videos for our BEA haul. THIS, YET AGAIN, CEMENTS OUR FRIENDSHIP <3
ReplyDeleteDid you bring a backpack or a huge bag to carry all your books around? I'm attending for the first time next year and I'm really curious to know!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, Gillian. Holy COW. (That is my "holy cow" of both burning jealousy and pure delight on your behalf, btw.)
ReplyDeleteAll those booooooks! I also love the tote bags, especially the Throne of glass one <3 Heir of fire, Talon, the darkest path of the forest, can't wait to read those books. Happy reading! :)
