I haven't heard any librarians complain about bloggers (and like you, I wear two hats, doing both). I have heard complaints that there were much less ARCs than prior years, which is true. The reason is the economy -- there were also much less ARCs/books at BEA. But I didn't talk to anyone who said it was because of non-librarians; just that it was a sign of the economic times.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-45276226974338562652009-07-14T16:32:06.819-05:002009-07-14T16:32:06.819-05:00Looks like you had a really good time

I've heard so...Glad you had such a great time! I've heard some complaints now from librarians who felt bloggers were getting all the books and acclaim instead of them. It does seem a little unfair since it is a librarian conference. But until they have a conference just for bloggers (wouldn't THAT be cool?) I guess we have to continue to crash the party ;)Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-15131300446003573762009-07-14T12:51:11.204-05:002009-07-14T12:51:11.204-05:00Thanks for these ALA posts, Sarah!

If nothing else, you'd think Scholastic would realize how much demand there would be for the titles and hold some back for the various days. Wish I still had my ARC, I'd send it to you, but I passed it back around at work and haven't seen it since.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959071734935986737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-72578854542242422712009-07-13T22:01:55.944-05:002009-07-13T22:01:55.944-05:00Will you make a post about all the books you got? ...Will you make a post about all the books you got?

I was at Malinda Lo's signing and I was late to Cinda's signing, but they gave me free books.. her two last Heir books. :) I fortunately was able to snag Catching Fire, I'm sad you didn't get one.. but seriously jealous about Hollow.<br /><br />I had a pokey friend and we didn't get there today until 10 am. So I missed a ton of freebies, but I think I've got way too many books - over 100. <br /><br />I won't be there tomorrow, so have a great last day! I have to meet my girlfriend for brunch because she's moving to Washington this week and we won't see each other for a long time. :(Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089936646594784828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-23258721553916555832009-07-13T21:04:04.094-05:002009-07-13T21:04:04.094-05:00Steph-I know what you mean.

I just feel bad that I didn't get an ARC since there was a group of my co-workers who really wanted it. Luckily the wait isn't that long and I think I'd rather read it in Sept. so I don't have to wait as long for the next one.GreenBeanTeenQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708155058381407531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-46460321371492434992009-07-13T20:49:40.218-05:002009-07-13T20:49:40.218-05:00Sounds like you had a lot of fun!

I'm hesitant about acquiring an ARC of Catching Fire (if that will ever happen) because with big, long-anticipated books, I kind of just like buying the real thing and reading it then. We'll see! :)Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.com
