I made it back from Texas alive. I didn’t know if that was going to happen with the way I felt through the entire trip. So, here is the quick recap:
TUESDAY
Woke up early and packed and headed to the airport with my traveling buddy. I felt okay. I was looking forward to seeing Cassandra Clare’s session that afternoon. Arrived in Houston with no problem and got to the convention center and registered just fine. Found our location and waited for the fun to begin.

Cassandra Clare getting ready to speak at her session on Tuesday.
The session was great!










































OMG!!! you got a good 6,7 books I want. Look you got Rampant!?!?!? can i have it back now? lol
we missed ya!! hope you feel better!
HUGS?! (sending some healing love ur way!?)
Rampant will be right back in the mail to you. No prob.
Oh my you got a lot of books from the publishers. That was just awesome. I’m so jealous. Definitely worth the trip hey?
Anyway I hope your advisor gave you some more day to finish your work : )
I hope you feel better soon! Looks like you got a great haul! I’ve so been wanting to get my hands on a copy of Once Dead Twice Shy!
wow you got soooo many great books! so jealous of Going Bovine
Wow that is a hefty lot! Jealous of many of them ;P
Oh, nooooo! Poor Karin!
I felt just awful for you as I read this. Great haul, but being *that* sick at a conference is just the work.
I think you qualify for combat pay!
I Want “Rage: A Love Story” so bad! You are one lucky duck. I love Julie Anne Peters!
I’m so glad you got your hands on a copy, Karin! Hope you enjoy!
(And LIAR and DULL BOY, too. Have read both, and they are spectacular!)
OMG wow! Posh and Prejudice sounds particularly fun…and don’t even start me on how lucky you are to have a copy of “Along for the Ride”! I am so jealous! (:
I am glad you are feeling better… That stinks that you got sick.
But what a wonderful bunch of books you got!
I am anxious to read Coffeehouse Angel.
I put Strange Angels aside to read Fragile Eternity.. I loved it.
Now I cant wait for the next in the series..
wow, look at all those books! Sorry you weren’t feeling well!!
Yes, I’m very excited about all three. I still so curious to know what the cover of RAMPANT is going to end up looking like. I think the one on the ARC is just so eye catching.
Hiya Karin, *waves hello*
I am glad that your feeling better and it looks like you had a good book haul, too bad your were a bit under the weather. Vania and I missed you terribly.
You guys are so sweet. I’m glad I’m back in the swing of things. Just a few things to catch up on and I’m good to go. Being sick and being away from home really put me back.
Ahh I am jealous of you and your brochitis if it meant I could go to those sessions and get those free books. So sorry you got so ill. But you got to meet Cassie Clare so that’s freaking awesome!
Oooh Lady Macbeth’s daughter! I love Lisa Klein’s books. I’m jealous, but glad you got it at the same time, because it means I got to see the cover!!!
