Locale is a meme here at A Bookish Affair on Fridays where I talk about
where I've been reading lately or any other bookish locations that I
feel like talking about. Feel free to grab the logo and play along!
I'm less than a week away from going to the Historical Novel Society conference in St. Petersburg, FL. I am so excited!!! I've never been to the west side of Florida so I'm definitely looking forward to exploring a new place! I'm getting to the conference a little early and am leaving a little late so I'm hoping to actually get out and see some of St. Petersburg.
One thing I'm hoping to get to see is the Dali Museum (yes, as in Salvador Dali). I love his work so I'm really, really hopeful I'll get to see it!

I'm also looking forward to going to the spa. Yes, you can find a spa just about anywhere but what better way to relax!

ReplyDeleteAlthough both books look great, I'm hoping to win BUNKER HILL because I already won BOYS IN THE BOAT elsewhere. Have fun at the conference.

Either looks great although I was at Bunker Hill earlier this year so that would be neat to read!
