Hi everyone, and happy Sunday! Today’s post is coming a little late because I’ve hauled myself to the last day of YALC, back to my parent’s place, onto the train, and am finally back home! This wI’ll be a super YALC-heavy post, but not a full round up. I’ll post that once I’ve recovered. Onward!
I’m loving The Expanse, but have only read the first two! #3 is sitting patiently on my shelf.
YALC prep! I couldn’t decide what to take, I had a lot of options and didn’t know how easy it was to approach authors for signings. I ended up only taking the V. E. Schwab books — which are now personalised and signed! I’m so glad I got to meet her.
I temporarily traded the cats for dogs when I went to stay with my family in London. Nora was feeling the tension in A Conjuring of Light.
Probably the most beautiful book I got at YALC and a contender for most beautiful book of the year! The Loneliest Girl in the Universe is absolutely gorgeous inside and out.
Day 1 swag! Mum laughed at me and then helped me lay it all out. I was a little over enthusiastic and should have paced myself, but I regret nothing.
Day 2 swag! I was better this day and had so much more fun without my huge backpack weighing me down!
I discovered Mum’s amazing bookmark collection and had to share it with you guys. She has been collecting for years, but I never saw them all together! Now you guys know where I get it from.
The full YALC swag pile. I was worried I couldn’t get it all home, but I did! One suitcase, one large backpack, and one duffel bag did the trick.
I was trying to take round up photos, but Dax wanted to play. She’s about to tackle Sophia and knock everything over. The cats are jerks, but I missed them!
That’s it for this week! Stay tuned for more YALC goodness and a round up of everything I got. If you want to follow me on Instagram, you can find me here. I try to do lots with my stories and you don’t see those pics here!
Ah the cover of The Loneliest Girl in the Universe is so stunning!!
You received so much amazing swag! I am also so envious of your mom’s bookmark collection! That’s amazing!

I had an absolute blast!! It was such a good time, and I’m already planning for next year.
Dogs and cats in the same post, but never in the same house! The dogs would LOVE the cats, but I don’t think the kitties would feel the same 🤣
