My NYCC Haul

NYCC is one of my favorite conventions, because there are SO MANY amazing books there, but since it's not actually a book convention, there's a lot less competition. Great book to book-seeker ratio.

This NYCC, I came home with 14 ARCs.

A few of these I've never heard of but a couple of these I am in an absolute panic over.

Batman: Nightwalker 

Embarrassingly enough, this isn't actually in the picture. I got so excited about it that I set it aside and then completely forgot to include it when I got around to taking pictures. But I have been trying to get this book for SO LONG. I went to BTAF this year (which involved a lot less ARC dropping than last year) and two people from each store left with a copy. Despite my best attempts at superhero trivia, I was not one of them. I am a huge Marie Lu fan and will read anything she puts on paper so this was definitely the highlight of my haul.

Renegades 

Renegades dropped at 10am right when the convention hall opened. I did my best to get it on Saturday but didn't get there fast enough. Sunday though I was one of the first 50 to the booth and got my copy. I got an sampler of Renegades a while ago and so I have been so pumped for this book.

Children of Blood and Bone 

An old friend of mine works with the author so I've been hearing about this book for a very long time. I couldn't believe it when I heard it's the most anticipated YA book of the year. And that is 100% deserved. I just finished the book and it is everything I've ever wanted.

Everless 

I attended a panel about upcoming YA books and when they told us about Everless, I knew this was everything I've wanted in a book. Think In Time but set in medieval times with royal weddings.

Tempests and Slaughter

Okay, embarassing secret. I have never read a book by Tamora Pierce. I actually tried to read Alanna a year ago but I just cannot handle middle grade. So I'm very excited to try one of her YA books, though since it's set in the same world as her other works, I'm not sure if I'll even get what's going on.

Tess of the Road

I read Seraphina by Rachel Hartman and was a huge fan. And the Shadow Scale happened and that was possibly the biggest let down sequel I've read. So here's me giving Rachel Hartman another shot. It can't be worse than Shadow Scale.
