Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!! Que todos tienen un bien suave fin de semana y encuenten demasiado tiempo para leer!!
Welcome Sunday Saloners!!
I have a post going up SOON with my New Book Arrivals of the week... below I've listed my posts of this past week.
It was so weird that Friday's FF question was What would you say to your fav author? I totally predicted I'd stand there tongue-tied, and pretty much, that was it. I lived out my prediction.Cynthia Hand got odd huge smiles out of me, but no "loved your book" or "can't wait to read this one" or even "I agree, 'Clara' is such a great name!" Nope. Just insanely odd smiles.
Tahereh Mafi drew me out a little more 'cause she recognized my blog name from my stalking her the day before. I nearly fainted, nearly swoll up like a balloon and popped and fainted all at once, but barely managed more than "gah... yay!" in speech. Sheesh.
Anna Carey was so nice... I've only read the first quarter of Eve, but I might have mentioned how sweet it is or exciting or something. But nope.
Veronica Rossi is a little intimidating, anyway... she was a perfect last station wrap up to keep the line moving.
My cheeks hurt from grinning though. (Cheshire cat?!)
I took notes during the Q & A... so I'll share some more fun stuff SOON. I'm so glad they all came to Portland, OREGON!!! :-D

Thank you especially to everyone for all the well-wishin' all week.
