I'm not MIA!

I've been so bad... This month, I've been consumed by graduate school applications. And visiting friends. And procrastinating. I haven't been reading much. And I wanted to do NaNoWriMo, but I haven't even done that! :( It's been an unproductive month, book wise. Well, except for buying them, as usual...

I'll be better. I'm "off" on vacation this week and I'm hoping to read a bit, since I seem to be hoarding library books again. I need to relax. In between writing essays for grad school apps. :)

Wish me luck!
