In fact, I wouldn't really have a clue what's going on in the world of books, if not for you!

BRAVO!...and thanks!

Keep up the good work, Kelly!

Great response, Kelly, to a tired, tired essay. Seriously.

Off to finish editing the Forest...Today, I swear. (Okay, midnight, but I will make it. I need time for a ripened long view. Sheesh! Talk about a overused phrase.)

Make that AN overused phrase.

I am so very tickled that you liked it. And that I met you. You were wonderful to hang with, and I wish we could do it more often.
