Hello all! Today is the Marine Corps Marathon in DC, which means we are burrowed down at home. The Marathon route goes right by our building, so all the streets around us are completely shut down. That works for us, though, because we are going to spend today packing and consolidating for our big upcoming trip! We are leaving for New Zealand this upcoming weekend, and will be gone for two weeks!! I can’t begin to describe how excited I am for this trip, as New Zealand is somewhere I have always wanted to visit.
I do have posts scheduled for the entire time I’m gone, so hopefully you all won’t notice too much of a difference. I’m not going to be checking email on vacation, so if you have an urgent question or a review pitch for me, I’d recommend sending it this week! Otherwise, I’ll catch up on everything once I’m back over Thanksgiving week. While I won’t be doing update posts on my blog about the trip, I will be sharing random snapshots and thoughts over at my Tumblr, so if you are interested in my trip, make sure to keep an eye on it. I can’t guarantee my frequency of posting, as I’ll probably just be doing it wherever I find a free wifi connection.
My Out Now! column for this week is up on inReads. If you haven’t visited my Tumblr lately (or didn’t know I had one), this is where I collect random thoughts, quotes, and pictures that don’t really have a place on my main blog. One fun thing I’ve been doing with my Tumblr is book and beer pairings – check out this one for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. While time has been an issue lately, I hope to do many more of those going forward.

I hope you have an amazing time on your vacation! And, on a completely unrelated note, I have a Marine friend who ran that marathon today.
