Thanks for being a perceptive Secret Santa.
Happy New Years and hope you enjoy your gifts as much as I enjoy mine.

I have one of those Map Loco thingies, too, and what I find irritating is not knowing why someone from a land far, far away (or even nearby) has come to visit my library; thus, in case you care, I came to your library today to see just who is the "king/queen/insert royal title here" of the ARC's on LT (I'm in a distant 6th place with a pack of arc-wolves hot on my heels). And now, I'm going to take the sage advice espoused by your profile photo.
Later,

Hopefully, I can convince you to review this title and help it gain a little more recognition. If not, I understand completely, and if so, I look forward to reading it.
Thank you for indulging me,
Scott

And yes, it's a pity that we haven't talked more; I do hope you will visit or send an email so that we can stay in touch one way or another.

Just wanted to stop by to thank you for the wonderful thread of annual "bests." What a treasure. I'm going to be referring back to it throughout the year.
My best,

I have also been adding photos for bookstores and libraries, with the ambition to have a photo or two of every one of the 54 FLP branches.
Some cities have plenty of bookstore and library venues, but some I find are rather sparse.

Can I ask a bit of advice? I'm going to be in Chicago for a week over Thanksgiving. I've been before, but have never tracked down an interesting used bookstore - full of the sort of quirky books that both you and I seem to gravitate towards! Do you have any recommendations? I love 'new' bookshops too - I've spent many happy hours in the Borders besides the Water Tower on the Magnificent Mile - but it's that insiders' knowledge to the city that I lack!

We had quite the conversations around the office among those of us who read it early. (It was holiday time in retail, however, so I don't exactly recall the comments.)
I think most of us thought it was incredibly well written - every word had a purpose. We did have some different ideas, however, about exactly what happened.
I would definitely go pick up more of his work if I were you.
