Weekly Book Recap #69

The last week of May is always the best book week of the year for me.  From Wednesday to Saturday, I have been immersed in all things books.  I've been to panels, presentations, and author talks at pre-BEA events and BEA.  I've met fabulous authors and received more than 100 copies of published and forthcoming books.  This is what I call book heaven, and I feel like the kid in the candy store who can choose as many treats as she wants (and can carry away).  I'm still pinching myself because it is a dream come true.

I haven't unpacked all my goodies yet, so I'll be sharing only a portion of my haul today.  But stay tuned . . . there's a lot more to come. 

I'm sharing my reading updates on the following blogs:
