ReaderCon took place over the weekend. I was hoping to get to it, but given the flooding, work, and some prior committments, it just wasn't in the cards this year. One of the things that I've always made sure to stop in on when I have been there is to attend the Shirley Jackson Awards ceremony, which was held on the 15th.
