OK, I'll play too! My twitter handle is @dogearedcopy. My twitter account is actually the most active of my social media accounts...
Same teeny picture of me in the purple coat too :-)

It's been a true joy watching people connect on Facebook and twitter as a direct result of the retreat.
I'm @annkingman on twitter, Ann Kunitz Kingman on Facebook. If your Facebook name is significantly different from the name on your retreat nametag, please put a note in your friend request since I only friend people there that I actually "know".
The challenge, of course, is that so many people are on different social media networks. When we did the survey, one of the great ideas was to have a group ahead of time where attendees could get to know each other. We had one on Goodreads, but that person isn't on Goodreads, so suggested Facebook. Of course, not everyone is on Facebook ...

I'm @bibliosue on Twitter, Suzanne Weiner on Facebook.
usually my e-mail tcheer4life@yahoo.com is enough to find me on either Twitter or Facebook since trying to find me by name is impossible - since I'm Linda Johnson. I mostly lurk on these sites, but once in awhile I respond to something someone says.
This thread was a wonderful idea. I, like Ann, don't friend everyone so try to let me know what our tie is. (There are a LOT of Linda Johnsons in the world.)

Oh, dear, there are a million Lisa Ladds and Kate Greens on Facebook. And the little avatars don't help. I want to be your friend, but you'll have to friend me first so I'm sure it's the right one. :)




I'm still carrying a glow on my face from the BOTNS Retreat! It was so great to see you again and to meet Michael. I have to admit that even though I brought 3 friends with me (Lisa, Nancy, & Leann), I still got in "trouble" with my second book group for not having invited them along! Looking forward to the next retreat! I tried to find you on facebook using your full name but alas, the search engine doesn't bring you up. Please friend me (Darla Dee LaRoche). I'd love to keep in contact that way also. Happy Reading, Dee

I love sending and receiving "old fashioned" letters!

How's your dog Joanne? (If you're not that Joanne, sorry!)


Star is doing fine. My husband and I think your suggestion of a diet change is a good one, but haven't yet implemented it. My older daughter is home for two weeks before travelling all summer and my younger daughter is finishing an online high school English course, so I'm a bit overcommitted. We're waiting for things to calm down a bit before we give it a try. I'll keep you posted.
