Are we so afraid to  be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

From left to right is Lisa of Diznee's World of Books , Heather Anne of Turning Pages , me, and Joli of Actin' Up With Books!   Thanks to Joli, I met Lisa and Heather Anne earlier in the year and was able to meet up with them again when Joli came to town. We had a fabulous dinner at Brixx Pizza and then went on to Barnes and Noble. We had fun there too. Evidence is below! Book Binge!!!  Show OFF!! My Book Friends!!
