I went to Book Con last weekend with the Cover Art crew! We couldn't go for the whole two days (which sounds like a bummer), but Saturday was the most amazing time I ever had, bookish-related. I had tons of fun! I seriously had a bookgasm and would love to go to the next one (still pondering over it because it'll be in Chicago for 2016, so far away!).
At first, I definitely felt so lost and was just wondering around looking at displays of books. It was just so many things to see with limited amount of time. I had made myself a game plan, sort of, but didn't keep to it and was just taking it all in– the fact that I was at Book Con surrounded by so many book lovers. Oh the joy of that whole Saturday! Meeting/seeing BookTubers, YouTubers, and Authors was a dream. I really wish I could just relive the whole day/Book Con experience.

I was bummed out that I didn't get to meet Marie Lu and Marissa Meyer, which are two of my favorite authors. Marie Lu's line was capped after I went to see Alfie Deyes. It was an okay, not okay moment for me but I'm okay (haha). On one hand, I got to see Alfie, but on the other hand, I didn't get to see Marie. Then I went in line to get my book signed by Sabaa Tahir (which book I have yet read but will soon). After Sabaa, I wanted to see Marissa but her line was also capped. Another okay, not okay moment but they are great authors so it's understandable (or I try to understand at the time, haha) that the lines will get long asap.

After that, my boyfriend and I enjoy The Halal Guys and Times Square. We walked around with a big metallic blue suitcase and took loads of touristy pictures (might as well enjoy the rest of the evening until our bus ride).
Anyways, the whole experience of attending a Con was just wonderful. This was my first ever Con so now all I want to do is attend all different kinds for the experience. I just loved seeing all the booths and seeing/meeting different authors.
