All right, this is going to be a monster of a post, and if you are totally disinterested in coming to see me at a bookstore or library or random popsicle stand, I apologize. Because what this is is an updated list of every place that I'm scheduled to be in 2011 at the moment, ESPECIALLY for my Giant Road Trip Tour for FOREVER in July and my This is Teen with Meg Cabot and Libba Bray (those four events are in blue) (only because I read somewhere that blue is calming).Just yesterday I was telling someone I felt like my summer and fall was going to be insane, and that I felt like I'd never be home. Then I did the math (I was a history major, so my version of math involves me opening a calendar and laboriously counting each day by hand) and discovered that, indeed, I only had 90 days left in 2011 that I would be home. Thank goodness I'm taking my kids on some of my trips, and Lover on others, and my car on still others. The only things I'll miss are the dogs and the cookie dough.
This is what happens when you drive all over the world to have Capers and Shenanigans.
And here is where those Capers and Shenanigans will be happening. (full list is always updated first on Facebook).
