I think the very first thing I need to mention here is that my blog is now, officially, over a year old. How about that? Who would have thought I would have had the tenacity to keep on carrying on and see this little project of mine out. Here’s hoping that there is at least another year to come.
Of course, during that time there were some little breaks, like the most recent three week one but hey, everyone needs a little vacation now and then right?
Unfortunately or possibly fortunately, I will not be blogging about my most recent trip to Panama and Costa Rica. I could provide you with an explanation but I’m opting not to, since I can.
So, right now I’m in San Diego and anxiously awaiting my morning flight back to San Francisco. Let’s see, I’m ready to sleep in my own bed, shower in my own shower, nap on my own couch, see my friends, tie up loose ends and open up some new ones.
As for the book reviews, the will resume shortly. I can’t tell you when, per se, because that would just put unneeded pressure on me, but they will return shortly I promise. I’m ready to get back into the swing of things.
Enough with the chit chat/banter, here’s what’s going on this week.
Monday, June 28th
@ 7pm
- Celebrate the 75th anniversary of Penguin Books hosted by author and professor at UC Berkeley, Michael Pollan at Books, Inc. in Berkeley. I’m not really sure what’s going to be going on at the event but it’d be worth checking out if your in the neighborhood. Penguin publishes good books so I imagine some fun things will be happening.
Tuesday, June 29th
@ 645pm
- David Bickel, author, will be at Books, Inc. in Palo Alto (I know, it’s kind of far) signing copies of his book Creepiosity: A Hilarious Guide to the Unintentionally Creepy. So, the cover of this book kind of makes me throw up in my own mouth but I guess that’s most likely the idea of the whole book right?
Creepiosity by David Bickel
From what little I understand this book to be about, I like it and I think you will too. So, if you happen to be in Palo Alto on Tuesday go meet Mr. Bickel, otherwise, next time your in a book store check it out.
Wednesday, June 30th
@ 7pm
- Scott Sigler, author, will be at Borders on Post Street discussing his book Infected. It’s pretty rare that advocate a sci-fi signing but I figured it was about time that I mentioned another one. Although this one seems a bit one the wild side, you know aliens infections and the CIA, it sounds like it could be a pretty entertaining and fun read. Oh, I also think it’s meant to be kind of scary which I like.
Ok, I think something is wrong. How is it that there are only two book events (the first event mentioned doesn’t count) that caught my eye this week? I don’t get it. Is it a Summer thing, are all the authors on vacation? I mean, I’m cool with that, I just took a vacation, but still… I’m a little surprised. Look for possible updates during the week.
