As a first time attendee, I was busy being a knucklehead most of the time...I'll call it my learning year....The year I learned to make up my mind more quickly in the bookstore...I was kicking myself for putting off purchases until Sunday...Now I have to go to Barnes and Noble and be content with an unsigned copy.<BR/><BR/>Anyway Thank you for a terrific presentation! I truly enjoyed it!ellen mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05854932071999020762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-61969785624267692542009-01-02T17:43:00.000-08:002009-01-02T17:43:00.000-08:00After finishing your book, I had to come tell you ...After finishing your book, I had to come tell you how much I enjoyed the read.<BR/><BR/>On my blog I wrote:<BR/><BR/>This book grabbed me so completely I kept it beside me for the two days it took to finish. In the car, THIRTEEN REASONS WHY, sat in my passenger seat. I read while waiting at red lights. I read while sitting in the Starbucks drive thru line. I read while rolling in traffic (Eek! No I didn't rear end the car in front of me--but it was close.) <BR/><BR/>Your book sure made me think.
