It's been a busy week in reading at the Booksie household. I'm halfway through the second enormous book in the Song of Fire And Ice series by George R. R. Martin. Even more exciting, I got a gift certificate to Amazon and picked up some books I've had my eye on. I got a couple by William Vollmann, who is one of my favorite authors, and the next biography of Michael Jordan. Add in some new ones sent by publishers and I'm set for the next few weeks. On Sunday, January 25th, I'm headed with a friend to an author event where a different author comes to your table every ten minutes or so for a meet and greet and Q&A. We went last year and had a blast so I'm excited to go this year as well. Here's what's come through the door lately:

Enjoy the Bookmarks Moveable Feast. Maybe one year I'll make it up there for that or you can come down here for ours in October. :-)
That would be great! We definitely need to meet up sometime. The Moveable Feast was a lot of fun.
