    Great haul, though I've seen them all already. Maybe I should rephrase that...I CARRIED most of them already. LOL Happy reading!

    Wow!! That's an impressive stack. You probably had to pack an extra bag just to take them home.

    That's too funny! I think the only book we got in common at BEA was the Luis Urrea audio book. Enjoy your new treasures!

    You guys are great for stopping by to check out these books...you cannot believe how much fun it was to see the publishers, etc. Carrying the books around was not too bad, but imagine how many I would have had if I went to all four days!

    Yowza. Bet you've got a few more muscles after that haul. I can't wait to hear about BEA!

  15. SerenaJun 1, 2009, 12:37:00 PM

    I think Anna and I both have muscles because over the course of a couple days and these books, plus hers, we both carried that one bag around the exhibition hall and NYC for hours on end. I can tell you that my shoulders are sore

    What a great stack of books! The Diary of Charlotte Bronte and the Anne Frank book caught my eye! Can't wait to hear more about your adventures at BEA w/Anna! I would love to attend next year, seriously considering it.

    Serena! That is a startling amt of books. AND you got got to go to BEA - I didn't realize YOU were there, too?! I swear almost all the bloggers I follow were in NY last weekend!

  25. SerenaJun 1, 2009, 5:52:00 PM

    Care: I met a bunch of the bloggers face to face, but I also didn't run into a bunch because of the times I came in and left. They had some pre-arranged meet-up times, but Anna and I were late comers on Friday. We did hang out a bit with some of them, but more on that later.
