It's a quiet weekend for me. Just cleaning up some blog posts and then gonna go hit Netgalley and see if there's anything that looks good to me.

DeleteBusy weekend! Went to a fan convention and then recovered the next day :)
ReplyDeleteI bet that was fun! I went to a "Rib Fest" and I don't eat ribs. The things I do for love :)
