    Not to be taking over your comments,
    I finished NERD last night. :)
    It was good, but it took me a little longer to get into :/
    I can't wait for more of your work to read,
    maybe a series one day?

    Best of luck.

    Hey!
    Thanks for accepting. :)

    I finished reading Get Well Soon today
    and I loved it.
    Actually, I didn't even want to finish the book
    but I couldn't put it down!

    If I find Into The Wild Nerd Yonder at a local library,
    I'll be sure to take it out.

    Keep the stories coming.

    Hello =)
    You added me such a long time ago and i told myself that i would read your book!!! time caught me though and i had no time (plus the public library did NOT know about this book of yours). Finally, a couple of weeks ago, i found it and i read it and it was amazing!! You are a good writer, you should write more teen fiction (YA)!! Thank you very much for the add (this phrase is needed and long overdue) =DD

    Julie,
    I was finally able to read your book and I really enjoyed it. I stayed up until after 3AM to finish it in one sitting. I love Anna's bodily function worries! Miss Donna
