I went and read Philip Lee's whole comment to you, and I was so very impressed. It made me want to go find his book...a book I probably wouldn't have been interested in no matter how many glowing reviews I'd read. Simply because it's just not my type of read. But the respect and appreciation he just showed makes me think that he's the type of author I'd like to support. Thanks for sharing that, Ali!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651809984287034257.post-50560828009727496572009-03-24T05:58:00.000-07:002009-03-24T05:58:00.000-07:00Way to go Philip Lee!

I thought a lot of her after that.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
