Although I did not watch any of the wedding festivities, I did look at pictures (Her dress! The kiss!) and watched Will and Kate stories all weekend - kind of a guilty pleasure but such fun!

May is looking pretty good so far. I'm planning to go to Charlaine Harris' book signing in Houston on May 13, and my BFF got us tickets to attend a lunch with Ms. Harris so I'm pretty psyched about that...

My birthday might also be right around the corner, and I think I'm finally old enough to start counting in the opposite direction :) And yes, the family questions go something like this: So. What do you want for your birthday? Oh wait, never mind - books. Got it.

Did you have any great reads in April?
Anything you're looking forward to in May?
