National Book Festival

National Book Festival

I’m packing up tonight to head out early in the morning to travel to the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.! I cannot wait. After an exceptionally tough week at work and being treated for strep throat, this is exactly what I need. I’m making plans to listen to John Irving, Judy Blume, Jeannette Wells, and David Wroblewski speak. I’m going to try to get John Irving and possibly David Wroblewski’s autographs, but after my experience last year, I know that anything might happen.

In addition to a wonderful day of books and authors, I am going to get the opportunity to meet some of my wonderful book blogging friends! That, to me, is almost more exciting than the books and the authors. So many of them have become my friends and I can’t wait until I can say they’re my friends IRL as well. We’ll all be celebrating at one book festival or another (there’s one in Baltimore this weekend, too!) and then meeting up for dinner at 6. You are sure to hear all about my experience on Sunday. A special thanks to my dear husband Danny for taking one for the team and staying home with the girls tomorrow. I owe you one!

ICC Champions Trophy: India vs Pakistan Live Streaming Good news if you are planning to tune into the highly anticipated ICC Champions Trophy match between India Vs Pakistan, as we have found a working live stream for the match. The match is scheduled to get underway within the next half hour, with the strength of both the Indian and Pakistan teams making for an exciting prospect.

The match will take place at the Centurion, with Pakistan already having won their first ICC match against the West Indies. It will be India’s first game of the tournament, with a win giving them a great chance of making the semi-finals. We have found a working stream for the match, which you can watch live here. Let us know if it works for you, or if you are having problems.

India should be inspired by the fact that they have never lost to Pakistan in an International Cricket Council (ICC) in the battle for the trophy, even with the team’s fair share of injuries. India and Pakistani cricket teams have played each other in non-test-playing nations such as Canada (Toronto) or the United Arab Emirates (Sharjah), but didn’t have the same number of viewers. Here are a few live streaming sites where you can watch the match, but they are slow…and frustrating. Sopcast requires the download of software before you can watch it. It may be easier to wait until it is over and watch the video of it online.
