Well, tomorrow I leave for BEA. Am I the only one that hasn't left yet? Is anyone out there? Lol. I'm freakin' out!!! Can't even wait.I live about 6 hours away from the city, so we are leaving in the morning and arriving in the evening sometime, so I won't actually be at BEA tomorrow. Tomorrow night, however, I shall dine with the lovely and fabulous Beth Hoffman who I love and adore. If you haven't read Saving CeeCee Honeycutt yet, you are seriously missing out. It was my favorite read of 2010, and I am absolutely delighted to be meeting Beth. Pictures to follow. ;)
