Books

Oh dear. I've dreadfully neglected this blog. I suppose there's been nothing blog-worthy going on, but now that school is almost over for the year, I can begin getting excited about some trips.

Next week I'll go to New York City, first for Book Expo and then to hang out with some friends from England who are coming over. The Book Expo is huge, at the Javitz Center, and from what I've heard, I'll be hauling home tons of freebies, including advance readers copies of book. I'm especially excited about the chance to get an ARC of Libba Bray's new book. On Friday night, my colleague (elementary librarian) and I will go to a concert, The Rock-Bottom Remainders (Stephen King's band). All good.

After Book Expo, I'll stay a couple of nights with a former student, a total sweetie. Then I'll meet up with the Brits for a week of frivolity. We have tickets for Inherit the Wind and The Pirate Queen on Broadway. We've researched restaurants, museums, all the things we need to see and do and eat.

More adventure previews later, with reports to follow.
