Auntie was accepted into San Diego’s 60th annual author showcase, which recognized books published in 2025, and so I spent yesterday attending the Expo they put together for authors with books being recognized. I thought it was an impressive gesture by the San Diego Library system, hosting us all at the central location downtown.

This is, of course, a shot of my cat stealing the show during my reading for the San Diego Public Library website. She did it almost the whole time, turning around, stretching out, turning back around, and while I probably should have just re-shot the video, I went with it. Because this is real life people. We are at home, quarantined with our pets. I do think it was a fun idea the library had, to do these story time videos with authors reading from their own books, and if you are at all inclined to look through them, definitely do it. They are pretty easy to find once you get to the website.
