With all I’ve been reading about the Book Blogger Convention and Book Expo America, I’ve been starting to seriously consider going to both of them. I’ve never actually been to a big convention like this, so I was wondering if anyone who went last year would be willing to share what they thought. Did it seem like an entertaining event that kept you busy or did you just have to wander from booth to booth? Did they seem friendly toward […]

Before starting this post, I told myself I must finish writing the book review I was working on.

I was hoping to get at least one of those reviews written in the last week but hopefully I’ll get one written up before this weekend is over instead (most likely The Book of Jhereg, although I also need to write reviews of Twilight of Avalon and The Illustrated Guide to Mythical Creatures).
