Barbara Boyer Hello Candace:
So glad to hear Courage made it and indeed that you won a copy. I look forward to hearing all about your read! Oh, and I get it about picture takers.



message 29: by Candace

Candace Hi Barbara! I got your book in the mail yesterday and I've added it to my 'to be read' shelf (both on here and on the actual shelf in my apartment!). To answer your question, no - I'm not biting my nails... I was actually out with friends and was getting annoyed with my friend that kept taking pictures so I figured if I didn't look at him, he'd quit (it didn't work... :D).

I'm so glad I won a copy of your book and I can't wait to get started on it (just have to finish those pesky library check-outs first!)
