I'm soooo happy that no one else snagged it.<BR/><BR/>JMC, should we be worried about our definition as horror novels? I mean, I have some ex-boyfriends that might agree, but...<BR/><BR/>Christine, not knowing what a planogram is something you should be proud of, no one should know the horror of the planogram. I'm glad that you enjoyed the quiz, it's a fun little time waster, but Christopher Moore is an even more enjoyable one. I am in love with that man. He's the king of writing the everyday-guy. The one who might not get the babe, but who has the great sense of humor. I recommend (highly) Lamb, Fluke, or really any of his other books. He's fantabulous, so go. buy. now.<BR/><BR/>Hello, Miss Kate (or Mrs. Kate actually). How's life and all such life related writings? Looks like you're drowning in socks.<BR/><BR/>Eileen, the books are the best part of the job, whether it's the free ARCs or just opening a box full of new titles and being the first to see them. So far I haven't had any ARCs show up at my house (I don't give out my address for them to be sent to me, and I'm sure Christopher Moore doesn't even know I exist, so my only chance was for the ARC to come to the store). I'll answer your second question as its own column if that's okay.Bookseller Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16740546395821645741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1140903404401312262006-02-25T13:36:00.000-08:002006-02-25T13:36:00.000-08:00Are ARC's the best part of being BSC?

Do you prefer the author to call first? Anything they do that either a) wins you over b) makes you mock them openly once they leave?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1140899844845328922006-02-25T12:37:00.000-08:002006-02-25T12:37:00.000-08:00hello again.

So how wonderful that you get to throw it away, and keep doing what you're doing. Imagine: a corporation that recognizes individual store needs and rewards innovation! Can it be? Apparently so. Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the quiz link. What a lovely procrastination tool (I got an unexpected day off work, and am supposed to be writing!) I'm Virginia Woolf: Orlando. <BR/><BR/>I'm now off to look up Christopher Moore, as I'm uninitiated...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1140886566107033842006-02-25T08:56:00.000-08:002006-02-25T08:56:00.000-08:00Yay!
