Just wanted to say how lovely it was to meet you -- wish Mary and I could have gotten to the tea (we tried :-) ). But meeting you was definitely one of the highlights of BEA!
26 lbs of books seems like a pretty good haul ;-D. I hope you are enjoying them.
....Rosaleeluann? Are you not one of those Western people who get to eat Greek food with MWT? Who never comes this far East (generally speaking) But you should check out BEA sometime -- it's exhausting, but fun!
But I digress.
Elizabeth, I wanted to let you know that "Rose Under Fire" is not just my favorite book from BEA, but my favorite of the year so far. It is awesome! Mary & I both have it on our lists for the Printz and Best of Westchester. (and I have posted a short review, with a Question for the Author :-) )
And actually -- the perfumed woman? She was quite mistaken, but also quite right (IMO). When I picture Maddy Brodart, she always looks a lot like you. And, like her, you are very kind.
And yes, I know that flattery will get me everywhere.
