WOW - are ALL of those AREs? I know the Maximum Ride books aren't - but I got those too. I'd be interested in any non-AREs you are willing to donate to our library!
And as for Sexless in the City: A Memoir of Reluctant Chastity - hah! I'll take that! I LIVED that for almost 8 years!
I only got three other books besides the ones mentioned - one an ARE, one not (a teacher's edition of a Narnia book - Prince Caspian I believe, and one paperback Spanish picture book. I did not come to TLA Friday - forgot that I'd turned off the alarm yesterday, and was so wiped out that I overslept.
However, I have made my hotel reservations for Houston!
There are a couple that aren't AREs, so I'm more than happy to send them to you when I'm done with them. I'll send Sexless in the City to you when I send you The Venetian Mask (which I'm having a very hard time getting into).
I (obviously from the time of this post) didn't go to the conference today, either. I was just ready to get home and if I had stayed for the session I wanted to go to I would have gotten home during rush hour.
Wow, that is fantastic! Great for you, it looks from this like you had a wonderful time.
Oh my gosh, I'm so excited! I didn't realize there was a third Calder/Petra book! I LOVED Chasing Vermeer! (I enjoyed The Wright 3, too, but not quite as much.)
What an incredible haul! Can't wait to read all your reviews :)
Wow! Nice haul! That will be fun working your way through all those!
Lezlie
Wow! Whatta haul! That should keep you busy for a while!
See - it's those free books, they're just too irresistable! =)
Seriously! Me and free books? There should be a 12-step program! Hello, I'm Somer, and I'm a bookaholic.
wow! what fun!
I'm here from Weekly Geeks and I must say, holy dinah - I'm so envious! I think the most books I've come home from a conference with is...one! :)
Great mix of titles! Poison Ink by Christopher Golden jumps right out. Total pageturner.
Poison Ink does look good! There are few that I picked up that look blah. I'm planning to do give aways for a lot of these books, so stay tuned!
