It won't be long now... any day.

I have a whole new stack of shiny books. New ones! All mine! Bwhahahaha!!!!!! In other words, my carefully plotted out attack on the exhibit hall at ALA was a complete success. I acquired the vast majority of the books that were on my want list, and even found some others-like one written by a neighbor of mine in upstate NY. I had no idea.

The top moment, however, was when I went to get Mitali Perkin's newest book autographed by her, and she remembered me from three years ago when ALA was last in DC. She complimented me on my fine attempt at bhangra dancing.

And today, I begged my co-worker to pick me up a copy of Ally Carter's newest Gallagher Girl novel, Only the Good Spy Young so I won't have to wait until after August to read it. (I had to work today, that's why I couldn't pick it up myself.) Now I feel very much like another co-worker who wanted nothing more than to take off and read Sizzling Sixteen. Maybe I will just do that!
