I really scaled back on books this year and although I didn't get every single book I wanted, I felt like the book love was spread out more because of the timed drops and moving some of the pubs. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.fwiwreviews.net/" rel="nofollow">Karen @ For What It's Worth</a>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-78918786995846208562014-06-09T23:00:32.670-04:002014-06-09T23:00:32.670-04:00Love these posts, so much fun to live vicariously ...Love these posts, so much fun to live vicariously through you, L:) and yes I totally just zoomed in your haul and added a bunch more titles to my TBR list.

I always love your event recap posts and this one is no exception. The photo of you and Jenny in your sunnies is so cute, and I always love those sessions where you can hear from people you usually don't hear from (editors, designers, etc), too. <br /><br />Excited to see what you thought of all your book goodies! I saw cryptic tweets between you and Keertana about SINNER, but I'm going to pretend I didn't see anything. *la la la*<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2014/06/ruinrisingtour.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-71024255862782229622014-06-08T23:09:00.582-04:002014-06-08T23:09:00.582-04:00Lauren, this was such a fun recap to read.

The events especially sound like a lot of fun and the book blogger picnic sounds like something I would enjoy going to. I've never been to NYC before, but it's on my to-visit places. The pictures you shared of the city, the quirky people and the outdoor reading room has made me even more excited. Also, all the books! So jealous but at the same time, I can't wait to see what you think of all these awesome reads, especially Talon and Mortal Heart. And the people you met! I seriously need to plan to go to a BEA just so I can meet all of you lovely people!

I'm glad we were able to spy each other in a few lines and attend a few events together. Your photo of your box of books reminded of that time last year when we were at the post office together, trying to mail all our books out! I'm glad all your books arrived safe and sound, as did you. Looking forward to seeing you again next year!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-84543730268769204502014-06-08T14:04:55.242-04:002014-06-08T14:04:55.242-04:00Love your pictures, Lauren and I'm so jealous ...Love your pictures, Lauren and I'm so jealous you got to hang out with Mary and Jenny!

I think this is the first time I'm hearing about parties thrown by the publishers, but they seem like a blast and I definitely want to attend one year. Plus, meeting bloggers seems to be the highlight of the event and NYC is such a fantastic location for this.

Epic Reads and the HQT party both seem so exciting too :) Did you have fun chatting with the authors during the "speed dating" thing? Haha! Spidermaaaannn :D The picnic looks so cute :) I saw some pictures on someone else's (don't remember who) blog and they were really cute. Ha! You met Danielle :D yayyy. (Btw, the pic of you and Jenny at the top of the post is totally adorbs. Wish I could have ben there to fangirl with you guys.) I always laugh when someone says that they didn't go there for the books? Um, ok. If you say so. Let's be honest though, the books (and the people) are the reason. If you didn't love books so much, why would you go? Books have to be one of the reasons, you know. Anyhow, it seems like a lot of people were more list-oriented this time around. Lots of "I targeted fewer books this year" lines around there so you're not alone in this ;) "But it's hard to resist when free books are staring you in the face!" LOL. True :D Hahahaha! It looks like you could have used a saw to get that taped box open. Safety first ;) I'm glad it arrived safely. Oooh! Snow Like Ashes, Talon, SINNNNEEERRR!! Stitching snow, The Return (my gawwwd), Afterworlds, Since You've Been Gone, The Jewel, Mortal Heart. Ok, I'm getting pretty crazy here :D Did you not get Heir of Fire though? Or did you just request the ecopy? Such a gorgeous haul. I really hope you enjoy all of these books :)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-55812158429413466322014-06-06T00:57:25.744-04:002014-06-06T00:57:25.744-04:00We never got a photo together! :-( I always do tha...We never got a photo together! :-( I always do that...miss my opportunities.
