Oh My Books!

Probably you notice that I haven't been at my blog lately. Or at my twitter / email. There is a reason. A HUGE reason. I'm moving to Chile. That's right. All my family is from Chile but my parents moved to Venezuela and I was born here. I'm Venezuelan and Chilean. So, I'm going to be living at Chile for a couple of months because I'm going to do my veterinary practice at an Animal's Hospital. :) Yeah, I just finished college!! Yay! (well, my classes. I still have to do my thesis). I've been super busy these days getting ready for my trip. I'm very nervous and excited. Also happy and sad. It isn't the first time I'm going to Chile, or traveling alone, or being so many months away from my home. But I'm very sad about leaving my boyfriend.....I'm going to miss him very very much. So, I'm taking a few days off to settle things when I arrive at my new home. I'm not sure if I'm going to have enough time for my b...

Researching her next book, Emily discovers a red velvet diary, dated 1943, whose contents reveal startling connections to her own life. April 26th, 2011. Pre-Order: The Book...
