HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW GRAY GUBLER!!!! IT IS HIS FORTY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!! I actually met him when he was driving across the country on his book tour. I was in New York and my mom who loves him as Spencer Reid almost as much as I do even though she doesn't actively watch the show spotted him and he slowed down at a stop light and we ran him down (I remember part of me being embarrassed about doing that) and I got a picture of him and in the Instagram video he posted we actually appear (I remember the person in the car with him was "secretly" filming us) as he gave us a free copy of his book that we later found at the library—and it was in New York so it was overpriced but we got it for free and I got to meet him and he was so nice during the short interaction!
Two chapters of "Valentia" will be out. I slept in yesterday, and then I got sick, and I'm still sick, so sick that I couldn't sleep at all last night, so I'm working slower but I still went through the next two and after that will be the season seven finale two-parter and then that's the end of the first book. The working title for the next book is "Ride or Die".
