*Once* was chosen as one of Quill & Quire's 15 Books of the Year, an extraordinary honour, especially when you consider what other books are on the list--I was particularly thrilled that Claudia Dey's Stunt was included, since it's one of *my* favourite books of the year.
Of course, with this honour comes an attendent one, which is Least-Suave Performance by a Female Author at a Newsstand. Sorry, Jeff and staff, I did try to be cool. It's just not in me.
Are we human / or are we dancer?

It is not "dancer"-- it is *denser*. But nevertheless...
HOOORAY!! What an amazing accomplishment. You are incredible and unstoppable.

Grats, dude!

Well, "denser" makes marginally more sense, I suppose. At least it's the right part of speech. I still love that song, though.
Thanks for the good thoughts, guys!
Happy Friday!

I was wrong! I should stop taking my wisdom from Radio 1 DJs. But now it means I hate that song again. Why couldn't he have said dancerS? Knob.
WOOOOOOOOOOOHOO!
your successes are really bringing back my faith in humanity this year. go team you!
Holy crap, Rebecca, that's fantastic! And oh so well deserved. Forget about playing it cool -- I hope you kicked up your heels and danced a little jig for yourself.
So very congrats!
