Indeed! I have Festival-fever and am writing blog reports like mad.
DeleteRegularly scheduled blogging should resume shortly.
It is an amazing festival - full of Aussie YA authors which, y'know, I kinda love :)
I appreciate that you took the time to put up all of the links and pictures. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you - hope you like it :)
DeleteI'm catching up on the blogging world and I am SO excited about the Aussie YA Voltron of Crowley, Howell, and Wood. I read Lucy Knisley's French Milk a few weeks ago and I loved that. I loved following your tweets and I'm going to read your MWF articles now. :)
