Hosted by Shae Has Left the Room.
We are down into the single digits before I leave for Asbury! This is scary crazy and also really exciting. I have posts scheduled for the next few weeks, but I might be a little slow publishing comments once I'm down in Kentucky. I'm not sure how much Internet time I'll get (hopefully enough to write the Random Friday post for the 15th...) and I'm also giving myself 3 weeks until the next Rewind & Review (partially since I likely won't acquire too many books).
I got to go to an unexpected author event on the 25th, which was loads of fun. I got to see Erica O'Rourke, Joelle Charbonneau, and Stacey Kade - all of whom I've met before - and I got to meet Liz Czukas. They're all fun authors, who give great hugs.
I've been packing up my room, which is very bittersweet and nerve-wracking. I packed a ton of my books (and other things) and then instantly regretted it because I packed an ARC I'm suddenly dying to read. Oops...
