I’m actually writing this two weeks after YALC has finished… It took me so long to do this blog post, from taking the pictures, to including the links! Anyway, as the title suggests, this post shows you all of the things that I got whilst I was at YALC in London this year. I didn’t actually BUY a lot. Most of the things that you can see in this post are free things that I managed to pick up whilst I was there.
So without any further ado, let’s get on with the haul! …
This is my second year at YALC and I was so excited to go so that I could see all of my friends again and some more amazing authors. If you want to read about what I thought of YALC last year, check out my blog post.
I can’t believe that it’s a second year of YALC that’s been and gone. The tickets are available to purchase in January, and it seems like you’re waiting forever for July to come around, and when it does, BAM, it’s already over.
I feel like an opinion piece for YALC is so important, because people need to raise awareness of things that could be improved and the things that are doing well so that the organisers can improve on them next year. …
I absolutely loved YALC last year, and I knew that I definitely wanted to try and make it every year. I had a bit of a stressful time this year with booking my tickets for YALC, as I soon found out that YALC and my graduation are happening on the same weekend. But I decided to defer my graduation until January and make YALC the priority.
It is an expensive weekend, to be honest. It was £60 for the ticket and then I had to book a hotel for the three nights, and then obviously there are going to be stalls where I’ll want to buy things, so it’s going to get very expensive. BUT! It only happens once a year, so I don’t mind. Anyway, here is the full overview of what I’m looking forward to, and my reading plans.
