Thanks so much for posting these pics from the event, it was a blast. I had no idea that this was your website (I was just looking at it last night)! I'm definitely going to add it to the blog list on my website. Hi Mary!

It is nice. In fact, it's just about the nicest thing ever. Most people prefer to look at oceans or sunsets or, I don't know, birds (what the hell, I spelled birds as "burds"...glad I caught that typo). They'd probably rather look at those things than stare at hundreds of books. Not me. I'm such a total book freak that just the sight of them makes me happy. And I hadn't realized Along For the Ride was out already until earlier when I read this post. I am soo buying it tomorrow. =D Mary — Yes! It is nice. In fact, it’s just about the nicest thing ever.

It was great to see you. That's another great bit of advice that I should've posted, the January 1st thing. I think I'll do that, too.
