For my first BEA, I tried to take the careful, somewhat-choosy approach on what I picked up. The grand total of BEA-books, for me, was 44, plus 10 books that I bought, which brought me up to 54. Needless to say, my bookshelves need a huge alphabetizing makeover!

Two boxes of books - one that weighed 70lbs and one that weighed around 35 lbs shipped from NY on Thursday to TX, and it arrived Tuesday. We paid about $50 total. Guys, if anyone is going to BEA next year, please please go with USPS! Not only were they cheaper, but they were surprisingly speedy.
I'm really excited to get started reading, and several of these books will giveaways, so keep checking back to see when those start!

Wow, lots of great books! I especially want to read Crossed and Forever. That is awesome that you got a signed copy of The Throne of Fire. I still need to read that. I love Riordan's writing.
I hope you enjoy these though I imagine it will take a while to get through them :) I look forward to your reviews!
WOW, look at all those books! So many fabulous ones, I don't even know where to look first, lol.
I hope you enjoy them all! :)
That would be the most exciting piece of mail to open EVER! How will you ever choose what to read first?? Enjoy!
