Anybody else wondering if I write reviews any more?
Ok… Just checking…
Seriously though, it feels like I have not written a book review in weeks. Probably – because that is true. I did not get any written during BEA and since I have been back I have been in a haze of keeping up on the house, the weather (oh rain… GO AWAY!) working, catching up with friends…
All good things, and I am reading – but I sit down at night to write a post and my eyes glaze over and I wind up playing a couple rounds of Scrabble on Facebook and going to bed. 😯
And now today – I am going to talk about the books from BEA because I should… and I want to. And tomorrow, if the big Blogiversary celebration here and seriously – come – you are invited and it really is a big deal. I have all sorts of giveaways (some will be BEA related!) and it is always a good time. Here is a link to last years party…. SO MUCH FUN! 😀 OH and bring a guest this year – for sure 😀 (More on that tomorrow morning)
Anyway – back to the books. Here is my BEA haul – thank you to my friend Heidi and her awesome daughter Camryn who came over and dug through boxes with me. 😀
There it is…. and I have some major organizing to do in the book room…. seriously. 😀 Hope your day is wonderful! And really hope to see you tomorrow…. it is going to be so MUCH FUN! 😀
I can’t imagine you will ever have time to emerge and write reviews again!! They all look fabulous! Interesting that there’s a type on the spine of Beach Colors…I’ve never noticed that on an ARC/ARE before.
I have the first Cake Doctor book–I don’t bake very often, but it’s a lot of fun to have.
Enjoy all your new reads!
LOL…. oh it will be done 😀 I didnt catch that typo until you mentioned it…LOL 😛
I am interested in the cake doctor book – I do not bake much but if I do I like it to seem impressive… ha ha!
That will keep you busy for a while! 🙂
I think so… I made a call to a friend of ours this morning asking him to stop by and give me a bid on shelves for the book room…. it is time to get organized! 😛
Wow, looks like over 100 books! When will you read them all? 🙂
I’ve read some of them and want to read others… It’s a great pile. Enjoy.
And I’m looking very much forward to your party tomorrow (also my son’s 15th birthday). I think I was present at both your bloggoversary parties so far, so I will make an appearance again tomorrow.
I will break them down into categories…. try to get in posts to work in with their release dates, if I can not read it by that time I can at least chat about it.
Nice – I am so glad you are coming to the party! It is one of my favorite posts of the year! 😀
Jealous all over again of your copy of The Twelve!
I have already started that one… actually started it while at BEA…and when I say while at BEA… I mean, AT IT. Like downstairs during a lunch break in a corner book open, nose in it… 😀
I guess it’s good, huh? I suppose I’ll buy my copy in October since I missed out on the ARCs at BEA and I own a copy of The Passage anyway. Don’t tell me what happens! 😉
Wow!!!! Great haul…I see several books there that I’m wanting, and some I’m actually getting (preordered), like One Breath Away…and I just got Safe Within.
Some I’ve read, too, like Then Came You, etc.
Enjoy!!!
Then Came You came in a swag bag – I have that one too… this copy will probably show up on my Blogiversary give away 😀
I see quite a few there I really want to read! Origin and The Fault in our Stars.
Me too Laura – I can not wait to dig in… the weekend should be fairly quiet (fingers crossed….)
Sheila,
This is a lot of books-what is the title of the book with Paris Review-I cannot read everything on the spine. Tigers in Red Weather sounds interesting.
My pics were not the best this morning Esme… lets see… the title you are referring to is: Object Lessons: The Paris Review
I’m curious about Albert & Adelaide. I picked up a copy because the cover/premise looked so amusing. It seems like one of those books that I’ll either love or hate.
I feel the same way Grace, the cover had me curious… let me know when you are reading.. maybe we could read it together. DO a duel review.
That would be fun!
HOLY COW!!! You made a great haul! Once again, the little green monster appears in my heart… LOL just kidding. I will be out of town tomorrow—so have a fun blogiversary!
Oh Debbie – if you can pop in any time tomorrow and say hi that would be great! 😀 I have visions of book shelves going on right now in my head…. I have a method to my madness… I really do!
Wow, girl! Thats A LOT of awesome books! I am so jealous right now. 😉
Glad you had a great time at BEA!
Stop by tomorrow – there will be some giveaways… 😀 LOVE BEA!!!
WOW!! What a haul! I see so many I’ve been wanting to read. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them…and yeah, I know it may be a while before you get to them. I seriously hope BEA comes to Tampa or Orlando soon!
Does BEA ever move or do they tend to stay in NYC?
I think through 2015 it is in New York… if I recall that right….
Ooooo does that mean there is the possibility of movement? Brilliant!
Looks like it is in New York through 2015. 😦
I’ve been having a hard time with reviews lately too, and even deciding on a book to read. But if I had your stack of BEA beauties I’d really be struck by indecision! And audiobooks too- so cool! Glad you had an amazing time at BEA.
Looking forward to the big bash tomorrow!
I have been reading – not reviewing…. I have about 10 to write up. Hope to work on that over the next few days and be back up and running 100% by Monday 😀
Hey, it’s YOUR blog! Review when you want (or when you must) and write whatever you want 😀
Fabulous books! I have Beach Colors on my review stack. Did you notice the typo on the spine?
I will get there Mary… just a little slow now 😀 I didnt notice the typo until someone mentioned it on this post. Of all the places to have a typo…. The Spine!!!!! (I may have to keep this book forever just because of that 😀
I am salivating over your copy of The Twelve!!!
I am too a little bit Jo Jo!
So how many audios did you snag? 4? 🙂
yup….4. Not a lot of audio there but I found a few so that was fun! 😀
Awesome! Absolutely!
BTW don’t feel bad. You don’t have to write reviews to hold our attention. Book chat in general keeps me happy.
LOL thanks! I do have plenty of “book chat” in me…. 😀
I love looking at other people’s BEA hauls because it proves just how wide the range of books there really was. I think I got… 5? of the same ones you did. And most of those were from Blogger Con and the Random House breakfast.
Isnt that funny? Everyone’s BEA experience is so different – books and adventures! 😀
You will be busy for a while. 🙂
I haven’t gotten mine yet, but looking forward to their arrival.
I have a plan Elizabeth…. I hope it works…. LOL 😀
Tell us what it is so I can use the plan too. 🙂
When I look at what other people got at BEA, I wonder if I was at the same show they were. Enjoy!
That is so true Kathy! I see books other people got and I think “How did I miss that?” On the other hand…. thank God I did miss it… I brought more home than I planned on…. 😛
Wow, that’s a ton of books!
I know… I have work to do 😀
Holy cow ((eyes bugging out)) that’s a lot of books! I just finished Wife 22 from your second pic. It was humorous and fun and kind of what I needed at the time. Enjoy!
I am late on reading that one Angie… I was supposed to finish it last week… I need to get on that.
Love it! I’ve just started to sort through my books.
That’s half the fun Steph!
Wow! That’s a tons! I would love to see a list of these, with the titles and authors. 😀 Pretty please? 😀
That is my weekend task – 😀 You can see a few that fit my Blogiversary giveaway as well…. I had some duplicates.
What a beautiful pile to look upon and drool about!
I called a friend of our this morning who owns a construction company – he is stopping by next week to talk shelves with me 😀
Sheila, I’m concerned you didn’t get enough. 🙂 How fun!!!
LOL…. uh, yeah…..
Wow! Good luck finding space for them all 🙂
