No no, not me... OK, yes, I am talking about me. This past holiday went by with barely a glance at a book (and only a passing thought or two about the blog). I didn’t even get to put up a cleverly themed Easter post! Now as I get back in front of the computer, I feel the time spent with family and friends is worth the gap in posts you will be seeing - although I tend to complain about many of the undesirable changes which have occurred to the town since I was a kid, visiting my childhood home is mostly a nice and relaxing, if infrequent, getaway. The only regrets I have was not getting any good book shopping in - my old home town is home to one of the absolute best bookstores in existence (sometime in the future I will certainly cover it, so for now I am keeping it secret)...
Anyway, I figured I would put up a quick post covering a couple odds and ends:
- The Flipping Out Giveaway is going well - make sure to get your entry in.
- I am almost finished with The Dragon Reborn, so expect a new post in my Project Reread sometime soon.
- Next weekend there looks to be a pretty nice Book Sale in Allentown, PA - I may get up early and drive the hour and some to go to it - here’s hoping there are some good finds worth writing to you all about.
- Just got an ARC of Nikolski by Nicolas Dickner in the mail - looks really interesting - now I just need to find the best place to squeeze it into my to be read stack.
- Last, but not least - The Mad Ones - the NYT’s review of The Beats: A Graphic History - I am so totally buying this!
