64/64 Goal Complete!
Entertained Me: Low / Made Me Think: Low
Just couldn't get into this book... took me a couple of weeks to read it, which is not a rate that would have allowed me to reach this goal. So, I suppose I ended on a whimper--damn, a 3-in-a-row whimper. However, I have a couple of enjoyable books on my Kindle that I'm reading in the gym, so you just might see another entry or two on this year's list.
63/64: Fast Food Nation by Schlosser, 1/5 Stars
I read this book purely to attend a book discussion group at the local university. It had some interesting points, but it was written a decade ago which made much of the employment context historical (especially given today's economy).

Fan Mail (what?)
Image by woodleywonderworks via FlickrI don't think I've ever gotten fan mail before, but it was sure nice to wake up on this Friday morning to an email from (OH MY GOODNESS I HAVE FANS THAT READ MY WRITING!) a fan!
*SMILE* *BLUSH*
Hello! I'm a really big fan... and you happen to be one of my inspirations. I need feedback on a recent poem I wrote. I've written many poems and many writing pieces. I'm trying to be the youngest teen novel publisher. Writing is my passion. Please get back to me if you have the time to give me feedback! It would mean the world. Thank you so much.
I honored and humbled to receive your letter. Thank you. I suppose I should get my boo-tay to working on my novel, too.
