Happy Friday! I am just back from a rather whirlwind trip to Nashville where I spent most of this past week at the Christian Booksellers Association. I flew in just in time to put finishing touches on this week's newsletter and lineup. I will write more about my trip this weekend on the Bookreporter.com Blog, including what I read when I was on the road.

Last weekend I celebrated the snowstorm sitting on the couch reading ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AN ORDINARY LIFE by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Some of you may have read my comments about this book on the Bookreporter.com Blog. Tuesday night I had the opportunity to meet Rosenthal at a reading that she did in New York. She is both shy and approachable, and is just as honestly sincere in person as she is on paper. Last week my son told me what he likes about this book is that it talks about a regular person's life like it is special as opposed to what we see so much where celebrities are deified. It's definitely one of my new favorite books. Read the blog to see more about it.

It is soooooo cold in New York as I write this note that all I want to do is curl up under a warm blanket with a book. You know that feeling, right? The weather has been frigid in so many parts of the country this month that I am sure you can relate. Have you had any snow days? I LOVE snow days! They are like little unexpected vacations.
Name up to three authors who you would want to be made aware of upcoming releases for.
