So there we have it! That’s the line up for this years YALC! I’m super excited. Last year was my first year attending YALC and I absolutely loved it, so I can’t wait to go again this year. 

I’ll be writing up my TBR post soon. I just have a feeling that there’s going to be so many books that I need to read before July.
