I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

Hi Shelly,

Your reading list is AWESOME. Goodreads members like you inspire me to make more time for reading! I also really like the quote from J.W. Eagan.

Thanks for the invitation. Your book list reminded me of some of my old favorites. And Audrey Hepburn is my idol.

Thanks for the friendship, Shelly!

Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)

P.S.—I’m currently selling autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:
