Welcome to Litsy!

A plethora of Collector‘s editions for a favorite book!
The gorgeous one on the left is the UK edition, the black cover on the right is the general US edition and the B&N edition in the center has a silver cover and one tiny extra section of info on Rhy‘s London.
ALL of them have an interview, cool endpapers (see next post), and a couple of new short stories.
The US editions are ALL signed. She shared that tidbit with us at the #sirensconference!

This is my #bookhaul from the Sirens conference 📚
They had a hand curated bookshop of women‘s fantasy with 1,000 titles - not copies, TITLES - and on my first walkthrough I was pleased I already had so many of the books featured.
Meaning I would not ‘need‘ to buy any.
HAHAHA.
This is me 15 books later 😁
And they put my carry-on through the airport security scanner twice - were they wondering why anyone would have a bag of 100% books? 😹

My #blinddatewithabook goodies unveiled! They all sound good and look worth a try to me 📚😁📚

So I could not help myself and did get a few #blinddatewithabook surprises...
(I just could not help the one that says ‘we don‘t remember what this book is. OOPS.‘) 😹😹

And N.K. Jemisin is a hoot. She is a delight when giving a keynote address or chatting over dessert. So down-to-earth and just fricking amazing.
And this one is dated and marked as signed at Sirens. Best memento ever 💕

Victoria Schwab is a doll in real life and even personalized my book 🙀
Also pictured is the Shades of Magic inspired necklace I bought in silent auction to benefit Sirens. What‘s vacation without a little extravagance?

My day at the #sirensconference today included these amazing authors: N.K. Jemisin (Fifth Season) and Victoria Schwab (Shades of Magic series).
I just love both of them in this photo - and in real life!

SO. MANY. BOOKS!
The bookstore they put together for #sirensconference is fantastic - literally full of fantastic fantasy books by women.
But it is this #blinddatewithabook table that I keep returning to and wondering what to choose...

I heard about the Sirens conference here on Litsy last year so I just wanted to let you know I came, I conquered the Colorado altitude, and I am enjoying every minute!
And I got a fancy button to brag I completed the #sirensreadingchallenge 😁
