CouronneDhiver Wow! That‘s a whole lot of bookish stuff. Don‘t know if I‘d have enough patience for all that but you did great. 😍😍😍 5y

TheRomantiCate I would like to know how that works. I‘ve never been to BookCon but I definitely want to try to go next year... can you tell me about it?? 5y

JackOBotts Ditto to what @TheRomantiCate said. How does a BookCon work? Can anyone buy tickets? Do you have to buy all the books vs. are they being given away? Inquiring minds want to know! 😉🤗📚📚📚 5y

Soubhiville I have serious book envy right now! Wow! 😯 5y

Megnogged @JackOBotts Anyone can buy a ticket to BookCon! It‘s usually a good mix of books for purchase and ARCs/Galleys that they give away. A lot of times you need a ticket (handed out by the publishers, etc. at various times over the weekend) for the ARCs, but sometimes you just have to wait in a line and hope you end up being ahead enough in line you beat the cap. Cont. 👇🏼 5y

Megnogged It‘s definitely a lot of lines, but you also get to meet some pretty amazing book lovers while you‘re waiting!! 🥰 5y

JackOBotts So fun! Thank you for the details! 🤗 5y

Blood Water Paint | Joy McCullough

#fbf to the awesomeness that I got for registering early for Booklist's "Feminist Reads" webinar in March. It included a wonderful interview with Joy McCullough about her debut novel, "Blood Water Paint". I'm excited to read "Roses and Radicals", about the extraordinarily brave suffragettes who risked so much. I can stash all of my swag in the adorable bag for Chelsea Clinton's latest children's book "She Persisted Around the World". #galleys

ErikaB I received this right after my trip to "Hamilton", so I may have become a bit emotional when I flipped the bag over and saw the tagline "Speak up. Rise up. Dream big." 7y

The Child | Fiona Barton

This is the part of my June #tbr that is on paper. The majority of my reading list are digital galleys on my iPad. The most anticipated read this month is The Child!

The Worlds We Think We Know: Stories | Dalia Rosenfeld

Oh my gosh you guys. Gave my living room and bookshelves a facelift today, separating all my #galleys from my finished book collection and here's the shelf of galleys, minus the ones I culled a few months ago! I've only been a bookseller for almost 2 years. This is crazy! No wonder I'm always overwhelmed haha 😂 #TBRpile #TBR

Branwen Hahahaha! Love it! :-) 8y

AceOnRoam I see some empty shelf space there, you clearly need more books! 8y

Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows: A Novel | Balli Kaur Jaswal

I am drowning in ARCS and things I need to read!! Decided to settle on first priority because a review is due in a week or so. Why can't I stop time so I can read? Why isn't one day enough time to read all the books? Haha #lifequestions #galleys #TBR #help

BethM I really feel like I should get paid to read. 8y

Literaryunicorn That's a great title 👏 8y

OffTheBeatenShelf.com I don't even know what the book is about and I'm intrigued already. 8y

LeahBergen I can't wait for this one! 8y

American War | Omar El Akkad

Got a small but killer haul of galleys at our Penguin Random House rep night tonight at the bookstore and also saw friends from stores around the Cities! I can't decide which one I'm most intrigued to read... maybe Give a Girl a Knife because she's local to MN (Park Rapids anyone??) or Ruthless River... I'll tag them below! #galleybrag #tbr #galleys
