Thank you so much for the award... I'll be right over.<br /><br />Book Psmith - This has been quite an introduction to winter for you! I don't think there is usually this much snow in your area. Hope you sister has made it home safely by now...it's good to hear from you :-)<br /><br />Readerbuzz - Aw, thanks! I'll be over shortly.<br /><br />Staci - We are all feeling better now, back to life as usual today. Marcelo is just amazing! I didn't get to finish while watching the game, but I will tonight.<br /><br />Carrie K- Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is on my audible wish list. I'll have to take a test listen when I finish Sarah's Key. I think you're really going to like Marcelo in the Real World!!<br /><br />DS - Thanks. Daughter #1 will be back at practice today, and I'm back to my normal routine, too. I don't usually read YA Lit, but Marcelo is amazing!<br /><br />Kim - Yes, we are all better. I did use not feeling well as an excuse to skip a big Super Bowl party, but we did watch it at home. A date with your husband sounds even better though :-)<br />Have a great week!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-76891077559927021642010-02-08T06:43:31.192-05:002010-02-08T06:43:31.192-05:00Diane - I felt so sorry for my daughter... not one...Diane - I felt so sorry for my daughter... not one of her better birthdays. Marcelo is excellent!<br /><br />Gavin - It seems like my library holds usually come all at once and I just get overwhelmed. This was perfect! We all seem to be on the mend now - thanks!<br /><br />Molly - A turkey dinner sounds perfect. I did end of watching the game/commercials and reading at the same time... neither was very productive though. <br /><br />Farmlanebooks - Marcelo is excellent, and provides a very good luck at the thought process of Asperger's.<br /><br />Reviewsbylola - My husband is definitely a keeper... all the books around here and he didn't even question a quick trip to the library before it closed for the weekend!<br /><br />Laurel-Rain Snow - I wonder what Jodi Picoult will do with a character with Asperger's. That may entice me to pick up one of her books again...<br /><br />Beth F - Yup, more reading time than usual this weekend, and that's a good thing!<br /><br />C.B.
