I want to go to this so bad!!! My Mother-in-law is going to hear one of the speakers. I am so dissapointed because I am working this weekend and can't go.

*le sigh*

I saw last year's broadcast. People wandering around public areas loaded with cartloads of books. It's amazing what book porn will do to a person.

Don't remind me! I have been desperate to go. Patients at work are talking about it. I am going to be sitting at the hospital tommorow thinking about what is just 15 minutes away.

I would love to go, just so I could commune with fellow bibliophiles like myself. Neither my husband nor his family read. The people at work whom I know read generally stick to one genre. Which is useful since I know which books of mine to give them when I finish. I just would like to find someone, in person, with a wide range of book interests. To be able to actually dicuss this with someone who is most likely just as enthusiiastic as me. Alas, it twas not meant to be.

* Cry * On the upside though, Hubby and I purchased our first home today! So that will make me feel better.
