Did anyone get to go to BookCon this weekend?

It was held in NYC on Saturday and Sunday, May 30-31st.

I wish!

I was there yesterday and it was a great day.

I got to meet Susan Mallery, Judy Blume, Jennifer Weiner, and a bunch of other authors I had the pleasure of learning about for the first time. There were several other authors there that I would have liked to meet, but I was with my daughter and we split our list, lol.

I went with her to the YouTuber Panel and then she got to meet Connor Franta and buy his signed book. She had a photo op with him and was in heaven.

She also wanted to go to the Jason Segal/Lev Grossman panel, which was very entertaining.

I had her come to the Jennifer Weiner/Judy Blume panel with me, and then to Judy's autograph signing. I got to buy her new Adult novel and have it signed. It's not out in the stores yet, so a treat to get it early.
Meeting Susan Mallery was also a highlight. She was very sweet and chatty.

Dreamspinner Press was giving away lots of print books for free, and I got my hands on Legally Wed, Truth & Tenderness and Salvage. So excited!

Sounds like you had a great time, Fran...not to mention coming home with some nice loot! :D

Oh , it was great I went with my daughter Saturday, she wanted to meet Rainbow Rowell , unfortunately her special edition of fangirl was sold out by the time we got on the line at 10:15 so missed out on the meet and greet but hit her panel and then I cruised some of the booths, met the ellora caves models , also met a lovely author Regina Kyle who publishes under Harlequin, met Merideth Wild too , got an autograph copy of Hardwired( yeah) then my daughter was off to the Connor Franta panel.
I hit the dream spinner press booth also.
Anyone considering doing the RWa literacy convention on July 22 at Javits center.

I'm sorry you didn't get to meet Rainbow. We went to her book signing a few months ago at B&N in Tribeca I think. My daughter got a special edition E&P signed and I got Landline signed. Glad you got to her panel though!

RWa looks to be sold out. And super expensive!

Those Ellora's Cave models were something, lol!
