Mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia let me go......<i>--me! Mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia let me go... (GO-go-o-o!)</i><br /><br />On a side note, I love when bits of lyric avail themselves for ordinary conversation. And I've always loved when you had Casey or Billy do that in your books, and now you do it as you, and -- and Mark said something on twitter about having a train to catch in Chattanooga -- and now I can't wait to meet you both. (: Expect hugs.<br /><br />It's so fun getting to hear about all the Sammiacs and Zach-iacs (and Shredderman fans?) meeting you! And now you've moved into blogette territory, so we get ecstatic accounts from both sides. :-)<br /><br />And someone has read the <i>Kiss Goodbye</i> ARC? So glad it's not me. I just. I couldn't stand it, knowing the end ahead of time and having to keep quiet until everybody else got to read it. But I'm glad she likes it!<br /><br />And you saw <i>the Heavenly Hotel staircase!</i> I would probably squeal. And then take a picture. But I don't think it'd be as good if I knew it was there ahead of time, you know? The surprise would be half the fun.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098482630516206836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-75283230572835450862014-05-02T17:54:52.381-07:002014-05-02T17:54:52.381-07:00I love your books so soo sooooooooo much!!

The people were nice, most of the buildings were from the 19th Century (they had been restored), and that bookstore was just awesome! I also really liked that only three people came because we were able to have an hour-and-a-half long discussion.

I've just now found your blog and very much want to go all the way back to 2006 and catch up, but I'm at work and pretty sure that won't make for very efficient work time. In the mean time, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading the latest entries and I can't wait to pick up my first Sammy Keyes book this afternoon! (Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I did read one a few years ago and loved it.) I hope you made it out of those terrible storms safe and sound. What a terrible time they've had of it.

I think he's a Sammiac! (Eventually, I gave up trying to hitch a ride and just walked 2.2 miles into town instead.)<br /><br />-- RyanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243706924573005381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004974476643738026.post-41907101159005351172014-04-28T17:19:33.015-07:002014-04-28T17:19:33.015-07:00It was WONDERFUL to meet you in Franklin.

It has been on my calendar since the schedule came out. I am totally jealous of anyone who got an ARC of kiss goodbye. I cannot wait. This is the first time I have ever commented even though I have been reading the blog for years. I am so excited. I can't wait to meet you in person!

I really really can't wait to meet you guys. <br /><br />This whole tour has sounded like a blast. I want to meet other Sammiacs so badly. I can't wait until the fall tour. <br /><br />300 copies! That is awesome! Does she just give copies to everyone she meets? Or does she leave them aroud town for people to pick up? Or both? She sounded like she was amazing!<br /><br />Have a great week everyone!<br /><br />KylieKyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837543024870687967noreply@blogger.com
