  1. Hi Sam-

    Sorry to miss you at TBF. I was there on Saturday.

    Sent you an email today about a book for review consideration. Did you get it?

  2. Stephanie, I always wonder if I'm crossing paths with someone I know from the internet book community...so far, it's never happened that I've actually run into anyone, though. I'm pretty sure I sat next to a man who sent me an email about a book but I didn't get to talk with him because he left the session before me.

    I did get your email...still trying to catch-up at the office from losing a whole week to meetings in San Antonio. I hope to get back to you soon.

I always love hearing from you guys...that's what keeps me book-blogging. Thanks for stopping by.
