Where are you staying? <br />I will be at The Inn, and I'm signed up for the short story discussion on Friday afternoon but not on the Saturday. But I will look out for you at the Steve Himmer session on Friday! I haven't read FRAM but he is a fun guy (he's been to two previous Booktopias, as he's a good friend of Michael's). <br /><br />Such fun that we're going to meet! I still don't know how I came across your blog, but I've been subscribed for a long time and I enjoy your updates and reviews immensely. <br /><br />See you next week!! :-) <br />Kats Katsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-20118484269407185762015-04-21T22:23:39.403-04:002015-04-21T22:23:39.403-04:00I tried to listen to And the Mountains Echoed on a...I tried to listen to And the Mountains Echoed on audio and I had too much trouble understanding the narrators so I want to read the book when I get a chance.

I tried registering right at noon the day it opened but was wait-listed. I never thought I'd get in - just got off the wait list last week!<br /><br />As a result, I haven't had much time for Booktopia reading yet. Also, some of the author sessions were full by the time I was able to sign up. Besides the two books I mentioned above, I am also going to Kelly Link's short story collection discussion (need to pick that one up at the library this week!). I think those will be the only ones I'll have time to read before arriving.<br /><br />I'm so glad to "meet" someone else who is going! Looking forward to meeting you in person - <br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-34445550419013745522015-04-21T15:32:27.284-04:002015-04-21T15:32:27.284-04:00Hi Sue,
