Me on Some End of the Week Book-Related Stuff

I'm not one for controversy. If you want to know what happened this week, it's called Google. Still, I'm not sure where to go from here, if I'll go back to IMM or not, if you guys still want to see me ramble on about my week and say what books I got. Hopefully, I can come up with a title that doesn't suck. Like, 'This Week in Review Babble,' or something. 'Rambling About a Bunch of Stuff.' I suck at titles.

After last week's mail freak-out, I got 4 books on Monday (1 was an e-galley). Way to redeem the week before, Monday. ;)

My Canadian YA lit blog event starts on Tuesday. Are you excited?? :) There should still be IMM/book mail stuff and Waiting on Wednesday posts, if that's the only reason you wander past the blog. But there will also be guest posts and Q&A's and reviews. And giveaways. More than one. :)

Why, yes, I'll be in NYC for the first week of September. ;) My mom asked if I wanted to go to the US Open (tennis) and I said yes, so we're going for the second week. I've never been to NYC but I've been in the state, went to Corning (the glass museum) and Cooperstown (baseball hall of fame). So, if there's anything book-related happening around then that you guys know about, that'd be awesome. Or book-related places to go. The Strand is on my list. :)
