BookCon2018 wrap up

I looked and looked for what to expect before I went and still ended up winging it. So here is what I learned.

1. Unless you have the self control of a saint, you will leave with dozens of books. Plan for playing book Tetris and pack an extra bag or a way to ship.

2. A lot of it is up to chance. Pay attention and keep your eyes out.

3. Not everyone has signs explaining the situation. I found the best result by asking if they are offering discounts... If it's free they say so, if not then it's not the same as asking "all this free, right?" And it never got awkward.

4. If you're buying at one of the big booths (scholastic, Harper Collins, Epic reads) engage and ask for a recommended. If they like you, sometimes they toss an ARC your way.

5. Express what your preference is even if it's a spinner / random chance and if it doesn't land on the book you wanted they might sub in the one you wanted.

6. Respect the queue, but if someone has to pee, be human and hold their spot.

7. Have a throw away email. I'm gonna spend 12 months clearing myself off of mailing lists... Rookie move.

8. Walk the whole space to scope out where the bathrooms are, vending, food, there were two Starbucks one with a line and one downstairs without...

9. Find the restaurant Milk and get a crack pie.

10. Did I mention you need another bag?

I got the first piece of my recently (stockpiled) artwork up! This amazing #Truthwitch poster I received from @stdennard fit so well with the pinks and purples in my room. I have a slight (giant) love for gallery walls so you’ll be seeing more of them as I get them up! I can’t wait to show to you all the #nerdwall I’ll be building in the dining room when the frames arrive this coming week!

BookCon 2018 free book haul! The New York City Bookcon never disappoints. As always the angels working the booth made the con experience even better this year. Props to their ability to manage lines of hungry readers in an excited convention center. The signings and panels were a ton of fun and I felt like there were a wider array of authors signing books this year. Thank you A.C. Gaughen, Tahereh Mafi, Sarah Beth Durst and Nicola Yoon! Also, somehow Victoria Schwab managed to sign hundreds of her new ARCs at the con (possible magic). As always, the books above are only a small sample of the books that were given away over the two day period. (The romance and mystery novel booths were promoting some fabulous authors this year.) If you want to know more about the books above I would be happy to send you links to the novels. I am excited to make my way through my new TBR!

My #BookCon read is an #ARC of One Day in December. I'm 100 pages in after starting it last night, and I'm loving it so far. It's just right for a #breakupread thus far. • What's your best breakup read? • • • #BEA #Bookcon #bookcon2018 #onedayindecember #josiesilver #bookish #bookstagram #booklr (at Javits Center)
