Well, kids, we did good!

Remember when I told you all to write me and tell me the name of your favorite books and authors and so forth? Well, I spent a good LONG time compiling a list -- a LONG list, you overachievers, you! -- and went downtown to find some nice things to read for next quarter.

The girl at the counter looked at my stack (probably thinking "you overacheiver, you!"), said of the novel on top, "Ohhhh, that's one of my FAVORITE books!" and then proceeded to make some gleeful remark about three or four of the rest. "Good job," she said.

(At which point Helena gives a thumbs-up sign toward the ceiling, which none of you likely saw, but it was for you...)
