Good morning, I just flew in from Orlando and boy are my arms are tired!
I know, an old joke, but honestly that's exactly how I feel. I left for the NTEC conference, which was held in Disney World, Thursday morning, and got back Sunday afternoon, and I am worn out. This was my first national conference, and about the only thing I can say that went right, was all the fabulous books (many of them ARCs) I got from the various venders, who were there. Here are just a few of the books I carried home with me.
Teenie by Christopher Grant
Wishful Thinking by Alexandra Bullen
Sean Griswold's Head by Lindsey Leavitt
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Numbers: The Chaos by Rachel Ward
Inifinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon
The Flappers:Vixen by Jullian Larkin
Songs of a Teenage Nomad by Kim Culbertson
War Child: A Child Soldier's Story by Emmanuel Jal
Cate of the Lost Colony by Lisa Klein
Nightspell by Leah Cypess
Clarity by Kim Harrington
I have to admit I was not impressed with Disney World, and that holding the conference there was a terrible idea. Without a car to navigate the immense park, I was forced to be bussed every where, and walk miles every day. I will say that the park is beautiful, and the people who work there extraordinary at customer service.
So, my week's reading was close to non-existent.
I am currently reading:
Last week I only had time for one review.
Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney

i'm a little envious, LOL.
Wow! You got some great books! I'm *dying* to read Vixen. Can't wait to hear what you think! :)
Nice haul! I loved Delirium, hope you do too. Get some rest this week! I only work two school days and I plan to read, read, read when I'm not with family.
Looking forward to see what you come up with for December--My blogiversary is in January and I am looking for some ideas. I've already got a few planned, but I'd like to have a whole bunch.
Thanks for sharing your loot!
What an exciting week you've had! There's nothing quite like book events to get those juices flowing.
Hope you enjoy all of your books, and thanks for visiting my blog.
That conference sounds lovely! And this is a nice time of year to be in Disney World...it's so cold where I live that Florida is a nice change :) That stack of books is fantastic!
Hope you have a great holiday week :)
Oh wow! I'm so glad to see you got such a haul, Jan! That's brilliant! My week was quite great in books, and I'm hoping this week, is too! Happy Monday :)
I can't even imagine having a conference at Walt Disney World!! I wouldn't want to go to the conference, I'd just want to play all day! But it looks like you got some great books, I've really wanted to read Clarity!
Hope you enjoy Tyger Tyger (I've heard great things!) and have a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for stopping by earlier! :o)
What a great lot of books you snagged! But I agree - Disney World is probably not the best choice for a conference. Sounds like you had a pretty good time anyway, though!
That's a LOT of books! I hope you enjoy them all :)
Great loot! And I'll admit, I'm a bit jealous you got to meet Alex Flinn :)
I am so jealous of you for meeting Flinn!! You need to make sure you read her earlier works...excellent each and every one!
What a collection of books you brought home with you- one being Invincible by Sherrilyn Kenyon . I cant wait to read this book .
Wow, what an awesome haul! I hope you have a fab week with these reads!
Here's what I'm reading this week!
Enjoy your books.
To counter balance the large number of academic journal articles I'm reading, I read a bunch of books off my wishlist. I also finished up some text books. Here's what I'm reading this week.
Wow! That's a lot of books! Enjoy your reading this week!
Welcome home! I think Tyger Tyger looks amazing! I am excited to see your review!
You might not have read much but sounds like you had an awesome time and came home with a great haul of books. I have Delirium up soon. Happy reading :)
Sounds like you had a wonderful trip and returned with new books!
I live just outside NYC (moved this summer) so I will get to attend BEA next year. I can't wait!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Wow! Sounds like an amazing opportunity! Though I agree with you about the location and lack of decent transport! Congrats on all your books! I'm totally jealous! :P
Look at all the nice, shiny ARC's!! Wish I could go to some of these conferences. You got Vixen, Wishful Thinking and Clarity! Lucky duck. Have fun reading :)
