Itโ€™s impossible to recap everything, but hereโ€™s a snapshot of day one. An excellent start to this NYCC! I already did so much and I still have three days of this. I love it here. @newyorkcomiccon

These romance books were SO SPICY I couldnโ€™t read them in public โคต๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ญ What is your favorite spicy romance book?

I started out on bookstagram obsessed with YA fantasy and contemporary romance, and thatโ€™s slowly turned into romantasy and general romance (contemporary, dark, paranormal) ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿค

Really Iโ€™m a sucker for anything with fake dating, dual POV, he falls first, arranged marriage, loathe to love. Really just all the tropes ๐ŸŒธ

And hereโ€™s a little secretโ€ฆall of these books are on kindle unlimited (last I checked), so you can grab your copy for free through KU ๐ŸŽ‰

Oh, and if youโ€™re like me, a lot of them do have discrete covers (THANK GOODNESS) or you can just read them on the kindle app.

If you have a book rec, share it in the comments ๐Ÿ’• and I tagged a few book besties who Iโ€™d love to see their take on this challenge ๐Ÿ“–

The Inspiration vs Reality

I was looking back through old screenshots of inspo for our extension on our house, and as y'all know, the home library has been a long-time dream of mine, I found some old screenshots from 2022 and 2024 that I had taken well before becoming a bookstagrammer and these #shelfie pics are ones I would show my FiL when I told him how I wanted my shelves to turn out.

So I tracked these legends down, and with their permission, I am sharing some pics of their shelves, the first image is the original screenshot I took and the second is a more recent image of their fabulous shelves! Thank you again, lovelies, for agreeing to this ๐Ÿ’™ go check out @yelli3_reads @xenatine and @ajaneofreads their shelves are serious shelf goals!!

There were a couple of others that I had screenshoted long ago, but I haven't included them as I never got a response to my message (which is totally understandable im just some rando sliding into their dms hahaha) but go check out @darkfaerietales_ and @libraryinthecountry their shelves were also inspiring for me!!

Which bookstagram accounts have inspired you recently? Whether it be a shelfie or a different post they did?

20 photos isnโ€™t enough to show off my @imaginariumbookfestival photo haulโ€” and yet I somehow still didnโ€™t take photos with many of my favorites that were in attendance. Truly, everywhere I looked was just bright and shining lights of the bookish communityโ€”both readers, venders, volunteers, and authors! 

These photos canโ€™t truly show the love and life (and heat) that was present at this convention! We were all sweaty together and it was a great bonding experience ๐Ÿคฃ truly though, this was so wonderful and I canโ€™t wait for next time!! 

And to you steadfast and kind volunteers, managers, and my amazing assistant/ bestie @yelli3_reads and my PA who was there to party but still checked in on my constantly and made sure I was good @thatsemibasicgirl thank you so much for making the con a success!

@bookcon yearbook 2026โœจ

Random fact but I was a yearbook editor in high school so bookstagram lets me nurture that creative side - any other editors out there?!

Friday: kicked off the weekend at the cutest putt putt party with @simonteen @scarlettpress.us - we just โœจcasually chattedโœจ with powerhouses like @hm.wolfe @tracydeonn and @thechloegong ๐Ÿ’• Thank you for letting us mingle with so many amazing authors at the #nightonthegreens โ›ณ๏ธ @simonandschuster (@bookishqueenreads kept winning - rude)

Saturday: BookCon day 1! I will say I think VIP was worth it - that extra hour before everyone comes in is crucial. Thank you to the tagged publishers for the lovely books and swag! 
Highlights: seeing the amazing @contrarianpublishing team, meeting @rachelreidwrites, and seeing so many author friends @atlas_creed @frankiediane and more!

Sunday: managed to get a @marieluthewriter arc (๐Ÿ˜ญ) and see @carissabroadbentbooks and @elise.kova at @thebookishbox booth! 

The weekend had its ups and downs as was expected for an event to return post-pandemic but I am still happy I got to be there with my friends! 

Do you think you will go in 2027?

So BookCon has come and gone and while I have many thoughts, one thing remains the same.

Seven years ago I went to my first BookCon and started to find my bookish tribe. And after all these years away, itโ€™s still the people that this weekend everything.

Through all of the crazy lines and cramped spaces, the people Iโ€™m lucky enough to surround myself with just make everything better. The running around, the waiting, the panels, the events, all of it was worth it because of who I got to share it with.

Huge thank you to @simonmaverickaudio, @bornfromthetree, @fiercereads, @simonteen, @sourcebooks, @avonbooks, @williammorrowbooks, @harpervoyagerus, and @epicreads for giving me so many extra reasons to spend time with some of my favorite people.

And an extra special shoutout to @thebookblondie, @yelli3_reads, @tri.state.reader, @fantasybeforereality, and @literaryhypewoman for being the best con buddies I could ask for.

I wish I took a million more pictures with everyone I saw.

I am just feeling so incredibly lucky that taking book pics and posting them on the internet brought me some of the most amazing people. ๐Ÿ–ค

Who else was there this weekend? I want to know who I missed! ๐Ÿ‘‡
