I was a very good girl at the ALA Conference last week. The only print book I picked up 
was a signed copy of Laurie R. King’s The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, and I read that long ago (and more than once). There was an author event at the conference I went to JUST so I could get her to sign a copy of whatever she was handing out.
This doesn’t mean that I didn’t get a few tempting books from NetGalley and Edelweiss, just that I didn’t haul away a bunch of print ARCs from the conference floor. If I’d picked up anything, we’d have had to have bought another suitcase or shipped them. And the line for the on-conference post office was ginormous!
