Convention

I am so excited about the convention. It will be my first. I am flying in from Glendale, AZ (a suburb of Phoenix)and can't wait. I've never been to Chicago but my husband has agreed to let me fly there as a birthday gift. He knows how much I read and that I just found out that my current hero, J.R. Ward, is going to be there signing books. I've read all her books but never gave it thought that I would ever get to actually meet her in public. Now if I can just hold on for another approximately six months!!!
FINALLY

I am really excited because I've never been able to get to one and now it will be near me. I may have to go alone because none of my friends read like I do, but I can not wait!
