I’ve been spending some time with my family and am feeling very spoiled. My mom and my cousin went to the Feria Internacional del Libro (International Book Fair) in Monterrey last week and they got me some presents.
I got a very nice edition of Retrato en Sepia by Isabel Allende (Portrait in Sepia) and a very nice handmade bookmark. I’m just jealous I wasn’t able to go this time. But, that’s okay because the Texas Book Festival is coming up in two weeks and you know I’ll be there.
Anyway, I’m going to spend time with my family, run errands and the like so I’ll be back to blogging and blog hopping later in the week. Hope you are all reading something good and I’ll check back with you guys soon.
P.S. Thanks for everyone who’s entered the giveaway. I’ve got your name down and there’s still plenty of time so keep the entries coming!
Hope you’ll do lots of blogging from/about the TBF. I can’t make it again this year! 🙁
I always forget about the Texas Book Festival, but I’m remembering ahead of time this time around, so maybe I can go! We’ll see how many other things I have to do that weekend. The lineup looks fantastic!
🙂 Have fun time with your family!
Take care!
Have fun. Too bad you can’t be everywhere. We need transporters (Star Trek Technology).
I am hosting a blog for 2009 that will be very easy to complete. Check it out.
Enjoy and have fun Iliana. 🙂
I finished Guernsey and am starting The White Tiger, this year’s Booker Prize winner. It’s so far pretty weird!
Have loads of fun, Iliana! 🙂
I wish I knew about books fairs in NJ. That sounds like a lot of fun!!
What a nice mom and cousin you have!
Lucky You!!! Nice people your relatives! I am not much into Allende, but this Sepia book intrigues me. JCR
