Recently, @KirkusReviews...

Except in this case, picture me yelling, "BOOOOOKEXPOOOOOO!"

If you follow me on Twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you probably already know that I've been pretty much down for the count since returning home from BookExpo America.

CURSE YOU, BEA PLAGUE, AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.

Anyway, so that's why I haven't been around much.

Or, really, at all.

But my regular column at Kirkus has been running as usual!

Most recently, I have written about Jessica Day George's Silver in the Blood, and Leah Thomas' Because You'll Never Meet Me.

That's all, carry on, and I shall return soon. Now where's that NyQuil...?
