In honor of my own preparation for traveling to Chicago. Usually when traveling, which books are going with me is often the most thought out decision I make. Forget clothes! If I have the wrong book, the whole trip could be a disaster. On this trip, I am taking A Clash of Kings for the plane and a small book of poetry for the backpack.
Below you will find my schedule for ALA. It is packed, so I suspect that I may miss a couple. I will be the short woman with the huge backpack, glasses, and a shirt on Saturday that says, “I’m blogging this”. See you all in Chicago.
