Have You Ever Heard of This Before?

 

I love my book index.  Obsessed.

That's weird, right? I can't explain it, but I can't get enough of the book index, which just arrived. I keep having this urge to flip through it (over and over and over again).

Maybe it represents all the work love (sweat and tears) that went into the book? I don't know.

Have you ever heard of this kind of thing before?  Here it is: Index

What do you think? It is beautiful, right?

The book will come out on February 25, 2014 -- and you can pre-order it now, which I encourage you to do (haha).

I spent last week reading the audio book. So. Much. Fun. They told me to wear "comfy clothes," so I took them at their word. Darling daughter Daisy accompanied me (and corrected me, which I appreciated).

Here's a little keepsake.  (And do me the favor of ignoring the messy hair/no makeup look -- it was that kind of week.  When I show up for interviews and speeches, I dress "appropriately," I promise.  Ask anyone....)

 

The Perfect Score Project: Uncovering the Secrets of the SAT will be published on February 25, 2014 and is available for pre-order now.
