Sure am missing book expo this year with my partner in crime! @MrBook
Hey, everyone! If you ever wanted to attend #BookExpo, now you “can”! Head to their Facebook page for free live public Zoom sessions! Especially all you librarians out there! This is a multi-day online event. 😊
With the new dates and publishers pulling out, including some major ones, I‘m not going to #BookExpo #BEA #BookCon this year. 😕😔 First time I won‘t since they held the first BookCon too! Ugh. Anyone still going?

I was lucky enough to see @ScientistSam at #BookCon again, on the last day. 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Such a fantastic Litten and terrific friend! 🤗🤗🤗

More #BookExpo and #BookCon pics to share ☺️!
At BookCon, I had the absolutely delightful pleasure of seeing the outrageously wonderful @GripLitGrl !!! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 She is awesome, awesome, awesome! 🤗🤗🤗

...and here are the signed books in box three from #BookExpo #BookCon2019.
Here is the last of the #BookExpo #BookCon2019 #bookhaul. Another book of poetry in these two stacks brings my total to 5 for poetry. Several books for my grand kids. Now on to the organization.
Here is the art work I got at #BookCon2019. The author did all his own art. He is a talented individual and was super nice. I plan to get this framed. Hard to see, but he signed the piece in the upper right corner.
The first two boxes of books from #BookExpo arrived today. My TBR pile is on over load! 💜📚📚📚
These Littens are all amazing and I'm so thrilled I got to know some of them on a deeper level this week. Can't wait until next time!!

Alright, #BookCon, I‘m out! #BookExpo and BookCon were a blast this year! Plenty more pics & memories to share. 😁
I get a bit choked up when this moment inevitably comes *sighs*. In the real world, only w/ #BEA & Litsy meetups do I come across such a passionate group of fellow readers and the authors who give us the biblio-food we crave. Book clubs get casual readers. Many librarians don‘t read much—it‘s a job that happens to deal with books.
I stopped by the @outofprint Booth and got to see @todd ! Another annual-reunion sort of thing 😆. Todd is one of the two founders of @Litsy ! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Our ineffably incredible #LitsyFamily exists, in part, because of this superstar! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great guy, and highly recommend checking out OOP!

So happy I got to run into @Megnogged again! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🕺🤗
Such a wonderful Litten! Follow her, she‘s so spectacular!

Headed home today. Had a wonderful time in NYC at #BEA and #BookCon2019. It was especially nice to meet some of my fellow Littens. For those of you going today, have fun, hope to see you next year and travel safe back home!
My first Litten spotting of this, the last and final day of this year‘s #BEA/#BookCon journey: the wonderful, the exuberant, the dynamic, the massively phenomenal @MCYmermaid 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! It‘s like a reunion every year, and I always, always look forward to seeing this amazing bookselling Litten from California! ☺️🤗🤗🤗🤗!!!
#BookExpo #NYC #LitsyPhotoOp
Love this group of Littens! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Not everyone had a chance to meet up at the same time for a group photo—it‘s so joyous when a bunch can! 🥳
It was a perfect moment when everyone gathered to sit around a table & chat for awhile. Should do this more often. 😎

Another reunion with another fantastic Litten 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🕺🕺! It‘s always a great pleasure seeing @Megnogged 🤗! Coming from Michigan is a hike, but we‘re glad she does. She‘s always beaming and so incredibly nice. If you need a boost in your day, then hang out with this Litten, she‘ll brighten you right up! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
#BookExpo #BEA #BookCon #NYC #LitsyPhotoOp
It was an absolute pleasure meeting this newer Litten, @ahoffkosik ! If first impressions say a lot, then there‘s an awful lot of goodness and brightness about her 😎👍🏻👍🏻! Definitely follow her, my fellow Pennsylvanian will keep you smiling! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She‘s got a podcast too, which I‘m eagerly looking forward to listening to: https://www.ssrpodcast.com/ !!! 😊
#BookExpo #BEA #BookCon #NYC #LitsyPhotoOp
The one and only @ScientistSam ???????????! She is one of the nicest, most caring and generous individuals you could ever meet! You‘re very lucky if you can call her your friend, just an absolutely amazing woman. She‘s the crème de la crème! ☺️????
(She‘s another book-clubber of mine too! ???)

One of my dearest #NYC friends is the extraordinary, effervescent, sweet-as-pie @BookPixie 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗🤗! I am biased since she‘s in my NYC book clubs for a number of years now 😆. Everything I say is the truth though. I always thoroughly enjoy hanging out with this angel! She‘s a blessing in every life she touches.
#BookExpo #BEA #BookCon #LitsyPhotoOp
I got to spend time with a Litsy Singapore superstar again 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! @sisilia is an absolute gem, such a wonderful, exuberant lady. She traveled 26 HOURS to be at #BookExpo and #BookCon this year!!! 😱😱😱
Hope to see you again, my good friend. Tell the legendary @shawnmooney that he is one of the best things going for BookTube and please give him a big hug for me. 🤗🤗🤗

Before I even entered the show floor, I ran into the glorious and fantastic @Jess_Franzino ! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lots of Littens around for BookCon! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
#BookExpo #BEA #BookCon #NYC #LitsyPhotoOp
For those of you curious, a lot of attendees bring suitcases, 1 or 2, and the Center has holding stations for them where we can keep offloading our stashes as they get too heavy to carry anymore. This is one of...5 or 6 of them. 😁
