The ALA Exhibits Hall was interesting. Yes, there are lots of books. Lots and lots of books. The publishers give away absolute oodles of ARCs to attendees. (The feeding frenzy when the opening bell rings on Friday evening can be…intense.) But there weren’t a whole lot of things that tempted me this time around. Or perhaps I should say, that tempted me but that I didn’t already have an eARC for. The titles I wanted to see are now the really far out ones (possibly in more ways than one) like John Scalzi’s Head On, which isn’t due out until April 2018. That one will probably be at ALA Midwinter, next February in OMG Denver.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Denver. But I do not like Denver in the middle of winter. And then I have New Orleans in June to look forward to. Why, oh why, aren’t those reversed?

Nice haul, there are some titles that are new to me, but that I’ll check out to see if I’d be interested in reading them 🙂
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.
