    Just finished the book you sent me Friday (read it while Em was getting her hair cut/colored). Now I am starting One Amazing Thing (I also won an ARC from Library Thing)… but very little time to read these days, trying to get house in order!!

    I just got Waiting for Columbus from my library. It’s definitely something I would not have picked up on my own, but after reading some reviews on it, especially Fizzy Thoughts’, I knew I should give it a go.

    One Amazing Thing has been given a huge marketing budget I guess as I & many, many other bloggers have received this terrific book.

    Enjoy your books!

      Vasilly – I know – they are gorgeous! My copy of One Amazing Thing is an ARC, though, so it doesn’t have that beautiful cover. :(

    Lots of great books here Carrie. I also have an ARC of One Amazing Thing. Hope it’s good. I can’t wait to read Waiting for Columbus. It’s on my wish list for now. I’d better get reading my essays. It looks like you’re off to a good start!
