I think I may have eaten more Halloween candy than what I handed out because I feel quite wide awake tonight. I guess I’ll be doing a lot of reading this evening, which is a good thing as I’ve just started a new book, The Stylist by Cai Emmons, which so far is quite interesting.
That’s not the only reason I’m bubbling with excitement… The latest Estella’s Revenge is online! There are book reviews (including my review of An Infamous Army), an interview with Audrey Niffenegger, a chance to win a book, lots of other fantastic tidbits and the announcement of a reading challenge! A reading challenge too tempting to ignore.
On another note, this year I won’t make it to Austin for the Texas Book Festival but I’ll console myself with the fact that I just found out there’s a Bookworm Bash going on this weekend. Book bargains here I come. Which reminds me that I better start making some room for more books.
Sugar high and a good book? Sounds like fun to me! I’m looking forward to plowing through “Wicked”” right now after eating a couple 100 grand…
A Bookworm Bash – that sounds fun! It’s too bad you’ll miss the Texas Book Festival, tho. I was planning on going to Utah’s this past weekend, but just didn’t feel well. Family who went said it was great.
Is The Stylist about someone who styles hair? Sounds a bit bizarre.
Is there any indication of a new novel from Audrey Niffenegger? I loved ‘The Time Traveller’s Wife’.
Amanda – All that sugar does help doesn’t it 🙂
Booklogged – To top it off I am going to Austin but just one weekend later. Darn. Oh well. Yes, the Stylist is about a hairdresser. So far so good.
Ann Darnton – She is working on a new novel – a ghost story! I loved TTW as well so I can’t wait for the new book.
Thanks for the plugs, Iliana!!! I’m SO excited about the Year of Reading Dangerously. Can’t wait! It’s a good opportunity for me to reread Great Expectations, too. It’s been an embarrassingly long time (freshman year of high school…whoa!).
Ann, Audrey’s new novel will be titled A Fearful Symmetry. I can’t wait for it!
Hahaha. Sugar overdose. It was a good thing we didn’t have trick-o-treaters to buy candy for. Although, we did have some pumpkin pie instead! I need to get over to Estella’s Revenge…and unfortunately I probably won’t make it over to the Bookworm Bash (can you believe I have to work all day saturday so they will give us all off the day after Thanksgiving?! ugh).
I got a little bit carried away with candy as well… and I’m still not done with it.
Ohhh, let me go read the new Estella’s Revenge!
I’ve been on a diet so I’ll look a bit more slim in swimsuit when I go to Asia. So no candies for me. LOL
Alright off to Estella’s Revenge… 🙂
I’m actually going the Texas Book Festival, but only on Sunday. I’m bummed because all the authors and events I’m interested in are on Saturday, but we have unalterable plans. It will still be fun to go to Austin and hang out at the festival. Plus, we might find some good buys on books!
Andi – You betcha! I still can’t over how you scored that interview with Audrey Niffenegger. Way to go.
Christine – I love pumpkin pie. I can’t believe you have to work on Saturday. That’s evil. Let me know if there’s a book you are looking for and I can keep my eyes open for it.
Nymeth – Hee,hee… I can’t resist candy.
Matt – I saw your pics of you in Puerto Vallarta… What do you mean more slim! 🙂
Somer – Have fun at the Festival. The last few times Pennyworth Books has set up in the vendor tents and all of their books are $5. Talk about splurging. Hope they are there again and you can find them.
I ate far too much candy, too! And I continue to, because we had lots of leftovers, which is unusual. I overbought! I’m off to Estella’s Revenge…
Oh yes, we found Pennyworth Books last year and ended up with a small stack!
Oh yeah, lots of candy over at my house, too….I will have to check out Estella’s Revenge and read what you have to say about the Heyer book! Hope you find lots of book bargains at the Bookworm Bash…I could use one of those this weekend.
