Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Viva Las Vegas!

Long story short: this blog has been a dead zone.

A more thorough excuse?  I haven't been reading (at all - it's been really sad) and my time online following whatever Outrage Du Jour (I'll admit it - I'm outraged-out) has been limited.  So yeah, not a lot to blog about.

But it's time for me to pop in and say, "Hey! I'm taking off for Las Vegas!"  That's right, I'll be hitting my first ever (Lord help us all) RT BookLover's Convention this week.  I'm already incredibly overwhelmed by the conference agenda because 1) there is so much to do...OMG! and 2) Wendy doesn't do "costumes."  So yeah.  I'll be dressed like a librarian (OK, my "these are the clothes I wear to work" wardrobe). 

I hope to meet / see a lot of you there.  Alas, I will not be blogging during the conference.  Right now my lone mobile computing device is my smart phone (and I don't like blogging enough to tackle it on a smart phone).  But I'm going to do my best to cross-post conference shenanigans (I promise - totally family friendly AND safe for work) on Twitter and my blog's Facebook page.

I'm also going to try not to drop my life savings at the blackjack table or run off and marry an Elvis impersonator.  Baby steps Wendy.  Baby steps.

Lynne: Tracking you down is at the top of my list! I hope I make it to the Rio in time to attend your "first timers" workshop - but I'm driving so....hard to say :)

My envy and jealousy--harmless, but deeply felt--knows no bounds.

Ah well, there's always next year, and the possibility of winning the lottery ;-)

Looking forward to your recaps, and peeking at your twitter account for updates in the meantime.
