You've put so much work into BBAW--you deserved a break. Thank you, by the way, for all that hard work you've been doing, as well as to those who have been helping you.<br /><br />I have been following the whole spam discussion on Book Blogs and am glad to see that something is going to be done about it. It really has gotten out of hand.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Amy. I heard it's supposed to cool down.

But, like Beth F, I love, love, love the Tomorrow series. In fact, I'm including it in a post that I'll have up tomorrow about my favorite series books. <br /><br />And I'm with you about Knowing, too. You kind of get to the end and go "what was that?".

What an amazing experience, and am really appreciative that you let me jump on that bandwagon. I am humbled by all the wonderful blogs out there!<br /><br />My husband and I have been in Chicago for the last few days. I found the most precious bookstore while there, and of course had to do a little shopping to keep all those stories in business on the Magnificent Mile. But now it is back to reality. Cleaning, laundry, kids homework, and the upcoming school book fair. I AM hoping to finish "The Hour I First Believed" today at some point. It is has taken me some time to get through it.<br /><br />Have an awesome Sunday!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
