Having a little too much fun.... 💸💸💸💸📚📚📚📚📚

HOWEVER the conversations with booksellers/publishers have been pretty great & the books deals are plenty. #BKBF

DivineDiana Please share your book haul! 😉 6y

AmyG What fun! 6y

CoffeeK8 Every year I forget this is happening! I need to get there one of these times! 6y

TrishB Looks great 👍🏻 6y

Billypar Oh darn...a few weeks ago I had the thought to look up which weekend it was going to be and then I completely forgot. Definitely a nice day for it! 6y

mrozzz @Leftcoastzen it‘s really the perfect spot too. Very accessible by multiple train lines and has a huge park protected from traffic. @AmyG It‘s my first time! Can‘t believe I‘d never been before. 6y

mrozzz You most certainly do! Next year we should plan a big meetup! @CoffeeK8 6y

mrozzz @TrishB it is! It‘s like an outdoor BookCon except it‘s free to get in so I had a bit extra to spend on the books 😉 6y

mrozzz Aww man! Make a big note in your calendar for next year!! The sun was way too strong all morning but otherwise it was pretty great weather for it yes 😎 @Billypar 6y

CoffeeK8 @mrozzz oh yes, that would be so much fun! 6y

BarbaraBB It looks amazing! 6y

mrozzz Spectacular!! My arms will be sore tomorrow @BarbaraBB 6y

When your grandmother, who is 92, gives you a file folder of papers that include her school report cards, diplomas AND this library card gem! Nana was always a voracious reader and she thinks she's cool because she can use her Kindle to read now!!! #luckyashell #Nanisthebest #everyoneneedsaNana

Angitron Wow! This is so cool!! 7y

Bookladylinda So cool!!! 7y

IamIamIam Thanks, @Angitron @oryx & @Cinfhen!!! Framing it is a great idea! Once my 5 year old moves out (😂😂😂 big Mom plans), I'll use her room for a library & hang it in there. 😉 7y

IamIamIam Thanks, @Bookladylinda! 7y

Tamra So neat! 7y

the_alternate_ending_library Oh how lovely!!! ❤ 7y

Wouldn't it be fun to take Lillian Boxfish's walk around Manhattan? Great walks around Brooklyn are featured in this tagged book. I did the one that includes Truman Capote's house when our daughter lived in the neighborhood. So much literary history makes it a fun read, even if it's only a virtual tour. I'd go back in a #NewYorkMinute ! #rockinmay @Cinfhen

Cinfhen What an amazing book! Thanks for posting & sharing 😍😍 7y

Hollie This looks like a book I need!! 7y

lynneamch Absolutely @Hollie whether you live in or visit Brooklyn, or just love learning about these fascinating writers. 7y

#fictionnonfictionpairings Read Thomas Wolfe, Truman Capote, Henry Miller, H.P. Lovecraft, W.E.B. DuBois, myriad other authors who lived in Brooklyn then see their homes with guidance from Literary Brooklyn. Can't get there? It's still a fascinating read. Brooklyn Heights tour can be seen here. http://www.nycgo.com/articles/brooklyn-literary-tour-nyc
