I always get a little nostalgic during this time of year. I think it’s because I see new backpacks, boxes of crayons and other back-to-school necessities, and I have no need for them. The end of August and beginning of Fall was always a time of excitement for me, because I loved school. Yes, I was a nerd. Obviously. But that sense of anticipation, of looking forward to new things, I still have it.
This time of year at BookPeople has its own sense of anticipation and excitement. Fall is the big “Book Season.” Tons of books come out, and most of the big name authors tour now. Which, for me, is pretty awesome and definitely something to get excited about. And, well, I might go buy a 64 pack of Crayolas too, just for the heck of it.

I stumbled upon your blog while reading up on Paolini. It’s exciting to see this blog on here. Keep up the good work. I’ll be sure to link it to my teacher blog.
