Book Expo & BookCon Haul!

[@liminalum]

You know what's the BEST thing ever? When you live in the middle of nowhere and every important event is a continent away.

[@marril96]

I'm from Croatia and can relate. We have no conventions, no signings, nothing.

[@michaelbooklion7824]

So glad you went and we met and are friends!!!

[@AClockworkReader]

Me toooo!

[@sandyreadsalot]

It looks like Book Expo was a huge success for you! You got so many books that I'm anticipating like They Both Die At The End, Whichwood, and Wonder Woman! The fact that Leigh Bardugo recognized you is so cool!

[@carolinasantos980]

I literally screamed at 0:42 because I LOVED THE SIX OF CROWS DUOLOGY!!! I am such a fangirl.

[@carolinasantos980]

6:06 "HONEY, CALL THE WINCHESTERS!"

[@carolinasantos980]

That moment when you want all the books but then realise that you're broke.

[@AClockworkReader]

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY

[@taasiat3045]

CSS_3159 yes

[@LindonLeaf]

Wow I literally also screamed them as well!!’ I tried so hard to find the letter in the shop but couldn’t find it at all...

[@ms.razzledazzlepants3819]

[@katyk066]

[@ms.razzledazzlepants3819]

[@michaelbooklion7824]

[@AClockworkReader]

[@mollylawrence1178]

I laughed so hard xD

[@ellias]

[@MitziJacks]

[@jennapevensie]

[@vaibhavih4705]

Hannah, you are so precious. Idk, just every time I watch your videos I feel so much more calm and you're so sweet and thank you for existing. Ok that's all :)

[@AClockworkReader]

Vaibhavi H ummm thank YOU for existing and being such a kind human ♥️

[@clareseymour6227]

Awesome haul! This event sounds so amazing!! And Leigh Bardugo omg thats incredible!!😍😍 I love the Wonder Woman movie too and really enjoyed the book!

[@luckee316]

So cool you got to meet Leigh Bardugo! I can't wait get my hands on Wonder Woman and Language of Thorns. The cover of Whichwood is so, so beautiful, I'll definitely be picking that one up too.

[@yehidk2707]

Hey loved the video! 💞. Was wondering what other Patrick Ness books have you read? My personal favourite was A Monster Calls and The Chaos Walking Trilogy!

[@hana9417]

Ohhh, I love A Monster Calls. That's the first book that ever made me weep and it will be special to me forever.

[@franciskalj3240]

Ahhh, I am so happy you had a good time and I was smiling so much during your Leigh Bardugo story! Also, I am so excited for the Wonder Woman book and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.

[@becalexa]

i love watching your videos because i always add at least 5 books to my "to-read" list on goodreads. you're always keeping me on my toes and im so glad we have the same taste in books!

[@klaraschiavinato5320]

It's so great that you could go and got so many books! I like in Austria and there's literally nothing that's book related and interesting here. I'd love to go to some book event or a signing. I also love your videos they're so great

[@samdailey4854]

I am so glad to see a BookTuber showing off All Rights Reserved. I picked up a copy at BookExpo as well and could not hold off from reading it. The book is amazing and definitely ranks as one of my top reads of 2017.

[@BrookeWaldorf16]

I'm dying for Wonder Woman. I'm so happy that you got to meet Leigh! If you wanna own a finished copy of Releas its already out here in Ireland/Uk so you can find it on the book depository!

[@caitlin3912]

The bad thing about liking all of your vids before watching is that when I go to like it after watching and LOVING the video, I already liked it

[@lilyguriel9827]

OMG you are so lucky! I wish I could go:(. That's so cool you got to meet Leigh Bardugo I adore Six of Crows. Also I saw that you had the Happy Hello bookmarks for Six of Crows and they have ones for The Night Circus now! I know that's your favorite book,it's mine too:)

[@SamanthasBooks]

Those ADSOM bookmarks are beautiful! OMG that's so cool that Leigh Bardugo knew you!

[@kaitlynabroad]

so obsessed with this video

[@AClockworkReader]

bigscreenbooks Ahhh thank you!! I've been looking for a good vlogging camera (that isn't super expensive 😆) so that's perfect! I hope you can make it next year so we can meet! 💕💕💕

[@ChloePersistentBookworm]

I read Release last month (it's already been released in the U.K.) and I absolutely loved it! It was beautifully written, as I expected from Patrick Ness. I also went to a Q and A/book signing with Patrick Ness and it was so interesting to hear his thought process behind the book. Definitely recommend it. Also can't wait to read They Both Die At The End, looking forward to hearing your thoughts once you've read it.

[@MaiJF31]

And here I am an ocean away, do I have to live an ocean away? :( (feeling like Angelica 100%) I'm from Spain but attending BookCon and meeting you are a couple of my biggest dreams so wish me luck for next year! Glad you had such a wonderful time ^^

[@hana9417]

Ahhh I had no idea you were Persian! :)) That makes me really happy since I haven't seen that many Middle Eastern/Indian/Pakistani/etc. booktubers (I feel underrepresented!) I'd love to know more about your background, if that's ever something that you would consider talking a bit more about in a video or on social media sometime. (Also it's AWESOME that Leigh Bardugo watches your videos; it must just be the BEST feeling)

[@likelylili7216]

Hana I think it's super cool too! I love seeing more diversity.

[@SnorriSnibble]

Hana why is her origin important? Booktube is about books.

[@hana9417]

Kristina Ma I think everyone's different experiences and backgrounds give them a different perspective and change the way they think about books - I know for me as a Muslim, from the same book something different will with resonate with me than with my ethnically white friends, even though our lives are pretty similar overall. It's not really important, I just think it would be interesting! Plus I think it's okay for Booktube to be about other things once in a while.

[@mish3916]

Check out these indian booktubers Indian booktubers Helly Saumyas bookstation Curlsbooksnbites

[@sagajessica]

Even though I don't know you basically at all, I still feel like I can relate to you so so much. You make me feel less weird and alone too and I've read a bunch of great books because of you! Your channel is amazing. You are basically my imaginary friend :') And also, I know you should not judge a book by its cover but god you are so beautiful!

[@SunnyBurnsAll]

Dear Martin and Whichwood sound so compelling, looking forward to your reviews

[@pateszmanka]

Actually in Release the two storylines are almost completely separated. They are connected in a twisted way, but I would say they could be readed separately, too.

[@HardbackHaven]

Aww loved hearing your story about talking with Leigh Bardugo! That's wonderful ☺ I would love to meet her someday!

[@sophistikated]

I was the person that like yelled that I subscribed to you at BEA so like sorry for awkwardly yelling instead of actually saying hi lol, but i'm so glad you were able to come!!

[@AClockworkReader]

sophistikated no thank you for yelling! I appreciate the enthusiasm 😂 But thank you so much for being so kind, it was lovely meeting you ♥️

[@jennifercahill7397]

How cool that Leigh watches your videos. Great haul. Glad you got to go!

[@watchdafanny]

I'm so excited for Wonder Woman! I have yet to read a book by her. So I'm excited for this one. P.S. It was so great meeting you at BookCon! :)

[@reaganstark4238]

wonder woman? oh my god! I was not aware that there will be a book about it... can't wait to read it😊

[@fancyasreads]

omg i miss watching your videos! and so proud of you for achieving and growing so much on your channel! keep going girl!

[@jandralee]

Ughhh. I missed BookExpo for the first time in three years, and I'm so saaaad! Love this! ❤️

[@LibriLabra]

Sounds like the Book Expo line for War Bringer was much more organized than the Book Con line. I was part of the group that had started lining up first but got totally screwed. Blah. That's an epic moment to have with Leigh Bardugo though. Congrats!

[@Readingxpress]

I hadn't started watching your videos until after bookcon and now I regret not coming to say hi to you! Hope to see you next year though.

[@Tracks777]

Excellent video. Keep it up!

[@AmyPool]

Loved hearing your story about Leigh Barduga! What a compliment! =)

[@proudbooklion2094]

The letters seem so cool and I hope you love (s) Adam's books! I really can't wait for TBDATE !

[@elenafh5754]

Oh my god i never knew you were persian, it makes me so happy,cause i'm persian as well and I always watch your videos. And I remember you bought that book called Persepolis and i was so happy i literally couldn't say anything, i just love you and your channel

[@Courtagonist]

All Rights Reserved sounds amazing! I really like that premise. When does it release?

[@MysteriesofWriting]

Te Cruel Prince sounds so awesome! I also love fairies so buzzword ringing right there! :D

[@storiesofwonderland8900]

All rights reserved sounds amazing! I added it on GoodReads and saw it is (Word$ 1) so at least one more ook is planned! If you like fantasy you might also like the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard. The fourth book is my most anticipated read of 2018! Frostblood by Elly Blake is on my TBR. It sounds a bit the same to the Red Queen series but only because of the similarities of the structure of ruler class vs class of the main character. You might like the Frostblood series as well!

[@readinginfinitely]

Omg I've never read Patrick ness before but that book sounds so good!!! 😱😱😱 Love your videos Hannah! 😊

[@camilesouzaa]

Haha all I was waiting for was wonder woman warbringer and I was not disappointed. Hope to see your review of it soon :)

[@cbgirl428]

you are such a sweet person! i truly enjoy your videos, keep it up hannah!

[@randomreader]

I'm so glad I got to meet you! I was probably super awkward because you, Tasha, Zoe, and Sasha were all together so in my head I went, " OH MY GOD A BUNCH OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE ARE TOGETHER! WHAT DO I SAY?!!!" XD It's amazing Leigh Bardugo recognized you! That's so cool!

[@AClockworkReader]

randomfreckles1831 I was probably super awkward too, not to worry! Thank you for saying hi and for being so sweet and lovely 💕

[@heathergibson8594]

Awesome story...congrats you deserve all the happiness and support in life and BookTube.

[@marthaalfaro1919]

Oh, Hannah I'm glad that you're happy right now, I wish I could attend to BookCon ( or BE why not?!), one day, haha but it makes me feel proud in some way that you went. And please don't feel weird, I know it's difficult to express ourselves considering how conservative our society could be in some aspects (horrible, I know). However, we are unique and that what makes us special. :)

[@j.a.f8919]

ahh!! I'm so glad you got a WW arc! Leigh was SO nice to me when I got mine, she made the whole trip amazing for me, I'm so happy she watches you! She has good taste in booktubers!

[@likelylili7216]

ALiteraryLullaby she was so nice. And her hair is beautiful. It's perfect for her.

[@rosiethreakallrosiefreckle5765]

Whichwood is a companion to Furthermore so it might be worth picking that up first :)

[@kathryn9471]

Have you read the Starbound series by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner? I LOOVE that series and I really want to hear your thoughts on it!

[@gab1819]

I read They Both Die At The End and oh my god it was incredible. You’re going to love it. It killed me

[@robynreads1367]

Wow so many great books. I can't wait to hear your thoughts

[@jessicareads7632]

OMG All Rights Reserved! I can not wait for that book to be released! It has to be the book I am looking forward to most in the next two months!

[@BooksandLooks]

ALL THE CROOKED SAINTS!!!

[@AClockworkReader]

SAME

[@alexisvlogsandkpop9780]

I live in Chicago and last year it was I. Chicago and I didn't even know. I hope it comes back because the book expo they have in Chicago this year doesn't look great

[@nisharangdal781]

SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO FANGIRL OVER!!! 1. All Rights Reserved sounds really really interesting! Like you said, it would help us look at speech and it's role in our society, but also at concepts like patents, and copyrights, and what really belongs to whom in an age where everything is so digital, and "no idea is completely original," and I'm really really looking forward to it. When does it come out though? 2. The letter from Kaz to Inej. I would really really love to read it I love the SoC duology sooo much!!! 3. The Language of Thorns. I've been seeing almost every BookTuber I follow haul it at one point or the other, and I think what I like most about the book is how an illustration is added to the previous one and when the story is over it reveals a full page illustration. I've never heard of someone use illustrations in a book like that, and I thought it was really creative and wonderful, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Plus, those colour schemes are marvellous. 4. Wonder Woman. As someone who makes videos myself, I think I would just sink through the floor if someone I looked up to told me they watched my videos, so I can only imagine what you must have felt like XD I'm glad you experienced something so special and wonderful and amazing and awesome and I cannot fangirl about that enough XD I really wish I can attend BookCon or BEA one day (I live on the other side of the world so yeah...) and that I can meet all of the BookTubers I watch, but I'm glad you went!!

[@douglasfreer]

There's a con for books!? Where have I been? I've got an advance copy book myself and I got it by chance. I was at a work related workshop and they do giveaways. At this particular one they had a bunch of books and one was an advance copy of that Wonder Woman novel you got as well. Haven't read it yet but I'm getting close to that point.

[@Minaru16]

ah I wished I could attend bookexpo. there are also 2 big book cons in germany, but it would be cooler to get arcs of books in their original. it takes so much time to get released here

[@jaedyn225]

I wish there were book festivals in my area! it seemed like you had to much fun:)

[@hayleyfanpire]

If you enjoy Maggie Stiefavter and haven't read it yet the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy (shiver, linger and forever) is really good as well

[@antczzz]

I don't know if you remember me but my name is Anthony and I love your channel. When I saw you on the first day of BookCon I was like ooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmggggg!!! I was so scared and nervous and when I talked to you I wanted to talk more but I didn't want to sound too rude and I just said the first thing at the top of my head which was I really didn't like cursed child and I felt like I left you talking so sorry but I just didn't know what to do. I never met any youtuber/famous person and you were my first so I just was like ahhhhhhhh! Love your shelf btw I tried to make mine like yours with all my items but it's so harrrrrd. You are the best and I rewatch all your vids everyday because I never get bored of watching them. Hope you having a wonderful future!😊

[@likelylili7216]

Bob The Builder same though. I met some booktubers and it was crazy. I didn't think I would be such a fangirl but it was inevitable.

[@mariaecaterinaganea6869]

Hello! Great video! I have been watching your videos for a while now and I can tell you that you have made me want to give a second chance to Leigh Bardugo's books. Hopefully I'll read the "Six of Crows" duology this summer! Now I have a question: can you please tell me the name of the book that is shown at the end of every video of yours? I've been trying to figure it out for some time now and it sounds so familiar yet I can't make a connection with a name. Thank you!

[@mariaecaterinaganea6869]

Sorry. Just figured it out. Now I am so mad at myself for not remembering that scene from "The Name of The Wind", given by the fact that is one of my favourite books from this year(and probably from all the books I have ever read).

[@brownalfie]

30 minutes after the video was uploaded club!! ❤️

[@_meganekun9980]

I totally understand you with the whole Leigh Bardugo signing. I almost had a meltdown in front of her. I was literally screaming into my shirt walking away from her xD.

[@katehickey2047]

Loved getting to say hi to you at Book Con! Glad you had such a good time

[@AClockworkReader]

Kate Hickey Thank you for saying hi, it was lovely meeting you!!! 💖💖💖

[@BookNerdSue]

That intro makes me sooo happy! I wish I can go to one of these :')

[@maudemae3539]

were the shadowhunter cards exclusive to the con?

[@yeriscarat9241]

I want to start reading the shadowhunters series because I love the show. I heard the books are different. Do I think I will like them? This for any one who has read/ saw the shadowhunter show.

[@katapetrezselyem7206]

Great video, I hope one day I can see you in person! ♥️ have you read Shiver too by Maggie Stiefvater?

[@sherriegreen7019]

arcs are free at bookcon

[@elizabeth8075]

[@evelinashkraba622]

I really-really wanted to go to BEA, but, you know, I was 9000 km away from New York, so I just have to say hello to you from Kazakhstan

[@elaw334]

Release is an AMAZING novel!

[@evareads2817]

I really want to go to BookCon some day!!

[@kaylynforrest9282]

Can people who just love to read but not blog or make videos still go to BEA?
