Checking in from ALA (and my sorry excuse for a Stacking the Shelf post!)

Hi all! Still tucked away in Anaheim enjoying ALA Annual - seriously, if you ever get a chance to make it out to one of these events, I cannot even stress how much I encourage it. To be around all things books and bookish people is an absolute treat.

Obviously I'll type up an entire recap later in the week after I recover from all the excitement (my feet hate me so hard right now!), but I just wanted to say hello! I miss you fellow bloggers! If you've met me the past few days, make sure you say hi, either by leaving a comment or on twitter or facebook or email me or anything! Comments helpful if you have your own blog so I can make sure to follow you :) If you haven't met me the past few days, and you could have...please say hi today!

I've met so many amazing bloggers, authors, publishers, publicists, agents, any-and-all bookish people over the last couple days I'm positively overwhelmed and grateful to have even been regarded as one among them. I've never been happier to be a part of the book community. I've been a horrible blogger though because I've taken absolutely ZERO photos :( Day 1 was too crazy for me to even try, and Day 2 my phone was dying. Maybe I can scrounge some up today or from others, but I apologize in advance for a non-photo recap to come!

Since I'm not at home and haven't been since Tuesday, I can't do a real Stacking the Shelf - and I'm too cut on time to make a proper Weekly Wrap-Up. So, that will all be done next week! For now, I wanted to leave you with a teaser photo of Day 1 from ALA :) I'd include everything from the past 2 days but we left the other bags in our car since we didn't want to lug them up to the hotel room haha.

Can you guess what the book behind this first one is?

I've been waffling about making a post with all the books I've acquired since I don't want to come across as greedy/ungrateful/hoarding/rude/othernegativethings, but I'm seriously excited about each and every one I picked up. Are those posts in bad taste? Should I make one anyway? Tell me!

Off to finish packing, then onto my final day at ALA! Hope everyone had a wonderful week and weekend!

PS. If you leave your Stacking the Shelf/Mailbox/weekly haul link in my comments, I'll still hop by when I get home tonight!
