As I mentioned, I picked up a lot of books at BEA. So many so that I had to make Many. Tough. Choices. about which would go where: some went with me to France, some went to my mother’s house and some were left in London for when I go back. These photos were taken the one and only time all these books will ever be together: in the NYC hotel room! So, apologies in advance for the low quality.

Let’s break this down, shall we? Links all go to goodreads and hearts denote the books I am most looking forward to!
