I'm sorry this is a short list, but we are uber busy getting ready for ALA and I fell behind on my Twitter stalking.  I'm so excited about next week though – can't wait to get to New Orleans and meet many of you…and also EAT!  The Honey Nut Cheerios (or in my case the generic HoneyNut Scooters) I'm noshing on are a poor substitute for all of the delicious, drool-worthy meals I plan to indulge in.  

Enjoy your weekends!  Happy Father's Day!

What a week!  Day of Dialog was a great start with Karin Slaughter, John Lithgow, a host of excellent panel speakers and amazing librarians.  Then BEA with more amazing librarians, Read-alike talks and Book Buzzes.  It all left me with a surreal feeling: my job is to read books, talk about them to librarians, and hopefully get them as excited as I am about some of them!  Seriously…that is for real what I do for a living. How lucky can a girl get??  Ok, enough babbling…enjoy your long weekends, lovelies!
