I've STILL got ARCs I haven't read, even though the books have been published for ages. (OK, that's mostly because I didn't dedicate myself strictly to reading the ARCs before anything else.) Someday I hope to go back, as an author this time, but I'll settle for going back as a librarian if it ever comes around my neck of the woods this year. (Probably won't get the funding otherwise.)<br /><br />And Margaret Atwood! That's awesome, and I totally understand being so absorbed in a speech that you forget to take notes. That's how I measure a good speech, actually; I know it was good if I was too enthralled to do anything but listen.<br /><br />Loving these reports.

If the answer is, it's bone dry, then I know writers are not welcome.Steve Stubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10051363877066768708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-36562080729792003312011-05-23T22:31:33.596-04:002011-05-23T22:31:33.596-04:00Being a fellow Canadian, I've been a fan of Ma...Being a fellow Canadian, I've been a fan of Margaret Atwood's for years.
