Ahem... I got to meet the fantabulous Markus Zusak a few weeks ago. What a sweetheart!! I told him how a few of us in this group buddy read I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak and you could see how touched he was! Heidi, you were the reason I read The Book Thief! And Jenny, your love for IATM is how I read that one!!

Looks like I'll be buying One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus as well since the author is going to be at the Tucson book festival in March! Squeeee! I love Arizona!

I'm picking up my copy of Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3) by Cassandra Clare on Monday when I meet Cassandra Claire at her event here in Scottsdale. And Diana Gabaldon is hosting and also signing so I hope to get a copy of Drums of Autumn (Outlander, #4) by Diana Gabaldon , the next one I need for my Outlander collection.
