I found this blog because I was ordering books and your "Half of Me" is one I chose to order. Reading the review prompted me to look the blog up and I'm totally hooked! Just want you to know that we look at all recommended books but we only have the budget for some, so the book recommended must have positive reviews from well known sources.

I felt the need to respond to this post because my family and friends make fun of me for putting library books on hold and having the librarians do all the work :-) There's someone else out there! Congratulations on how far you've come. Keep up the good work! I’ve just started reading through your blog from the beginning.

Like, you could put 50% in education, 20% in libraries and 30% in the fund for the arts. It would never work of course because billions of dollars would be put towards building new sports stadiums and maybe $5.00 towards road repair :) I always thought it would be fun if you could demarcate how your tax money was spent.

And believe me, I've asked for some 'remote' items -- you know, scripts and scores of outdated materials. Still -- it's nice to know that your tax $'s are being USED by you. For a change.

It does sort of sound like a Spanish name though, doesn't it? Aparecida is actually her Internet name, like how I’m PastaQueen. It does sort of sound like a Spanish name though, doesn’t it?
