I got that exact book from Tyrus Books. I was so excited, particularly as the book showed up SO quickly on an absolutely awful day.

I haven’t had a chance to get started, but it really was such a pleasant surprise. I can’t wait to dig in.

Beautiful post.

Thanks, Gina. Hope you enjoy your book as much as I’m enjoying mine!

Wow…what a wonderful and moving post! I saw the tweets from Tyrus Books the other day (and sent in a request I might add), but I had no idea about the thoughts behind it. Such powerful words in such a short sentence….and one any reader can certainly get behind.

Paulette---To this day, I've never encountered a bookmobile. Must rectify that! Shell---Yes, we're surrounded by lots of treasures (my perfect cup of coffee just now was one) and I try not to take them for granted. Christine---You know you'd have instant followers if you join Twitter. Lauren, le0pard13, Jen, Reed, Sara and I are just a few I can think of from top of my head. Do it NOW!

Oh yeah, another thing about this post? Pointed out, yet AGAIN, that I can’t hold out on joining the Twitter-verse for much longer. 😉

This post of appreciation was such a breath of fresh air for me. (Especially with all the election BS all over the friggin place!) Too many cynics would blow Ben’s actions off as just a publicity stunt. Your post brings to light the genuine enthusiasm behind his actions. In turn, I think it’s good for the people on the business side to get such heartfelt feedback.

IMHO, this post is a fine example of the kind and generous heart that you possess, Elyse. Thank you.

Wow, how generous! And yes, libraries still astound me ~ all this for free? There are such wonderful treasures all around us.

Don’t you just love her bartering skills?

I cannot imagine not having the library as a little girl. AND the Bookmoblie! They were like treasure houses to me.
Tyrus Books? Looking for the “like” button!
