That's awesome you got the contracts for a short story you sold. I didn't know virtual conventions were a thing, that sounds like a good alternative in these times. That's nice you had a visit to a greenhouse.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284689418552571180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-55307050854067669352020-06-13T09:33:22.161-06:002020-06-13T09:33:22.161-06:00I'm not a fan of the author's work-I DNFed...I'm not a fan of the author's work-I DNFed the book as I didn't like the characters!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-39975115448057643512020-06-11T10:59:53.504-06:002020-06-11T10:59:53.504-06:00I keep waiting for the Oompa Loompa's to pop o...I keep waiting for the Oompa Loompa's to pop out and dance and sing. <br /><br />How could you not like The Raven Boys?!

I know we have a bunch of books, even some from my childhood. We had lots of the Magic Treehouse and Boxcar Children ones too but they are an older age group. <br /><br />We are still just staying home. I'd like to try more online book cons, too.
