Yeah, it was cool. We just don’t have a big YA community, which is sad. 😦

At least you’ve got WordPress! I don’t have any friends off of the Internet who share my love for books, and it sucks. That’s one of the reasons I started my blog, so I could fan girl about books and people would understand😂

Same here. I have a lot of friends that read, but we don’t read the same things. So, I took to the internet and it’s been great!

I only got to go on the second day and I don’t think my store was doing ARCs, sadly. I did get a lot of awesome samplers (one of which I had been wanting to get my hands on) and some other cool stuff though. It was fun and probably the only time I will ever walk out of B&N with stuff I didn’t have to pay for 😂. I hope they do it again next year too and that there’s more for my store. 😊

I wanted to go so badly, but I’m not exactly a “young” adult. I was afraid I’d look like everyone’s mom so I stayed home 😕 I Read YA because I think there are some great stories to be told. I wish I had checked it out.
