20 books! Woot! Hopefully more this month.

In other news:

  • I hosted a Maria V. Snyder week at the beginning November - which ended with me hiking over to Michigan to see her and get some books signed! It was awesome!
  • I did my first blog tour with Tundra books for Medina Hill! I even had Trilby talk about her researching process.
  • Met Justine Larbalestier, revealed my Halloween costume and a few key kissing wedding photos in this Monday post.
  • Came up with some fantastic ideas of how to get all of you and myself reading in the new year. Check out these cool events.
  • I partook in turkey, pumpkin pie AND the Thankfully Reading Weekend. I didn't do as well as I would've liked, but I managed to read a bit.
  • I have a new blog design as of YESTERDAY! Right in time for my birthday month.
  • Speaking of birthdays.. December means the Birthday Bash - 20 days of prizes and at least 25 winners!

  4. I don't know how some people read so much in a month. I always feel like I'm slacking when I see other bloggers reading 20+ books a month.

    I'm happy you did it though and good luck on even more in December!
