Weekly wrap-up: April 6-12

This week I was down in San Antonio for the 2014 Texas Library Conference. It was a lot of fun but soooo tiring! Still, totally worth it. I met some amazing new people from librarians to bloggers to publishers and more. I'll do some conference posts soon, when I've had a chance to decompress a little. Sadly, I wasn't able to finish ANY books this week, but with all the traveling, conference events, parties, and two non-conference signings, I'm lucky I was able to read at all! How has your week been?
