Queen-sized bed of America

luis

Bleary-eyed, no coffee yet but trying to keep on top of the details. Interviews, posting tour photos on Facebook, even some Christmas shopping. It's amazing what you can do from your hotel bed (when you have good wireless service!). Wanted to pass on a few more links for cool stuff.

The LA Public Library posted great photos and a podcast of my recent ALOUD event there. There are a few pictures and if you click on the podcast button, you can hear my chat with the awesome Carolyn Kellogg of the LATimes. You can check it out here.

Had a great and fun interview with Terry Hong of the Smithsonian for Bookslut. You'll like it, I promise!

And I'm really enjoying my weeklong guest blogger gig at Powell's. It's making me moody (in a good way) and grateful. Follow along here.

i can't post photos here from the road, but I'm keeping an album on my Facebbok fan page. You can see it here.
