Hi. I just wanted to say that my fellow students and I had to read "Pink Think" for our 20th Century Women's History graduate class. Everyone loved it, and we couldn't stop talking about it!

It led me to get your other book "College Coeds," and I just started reading that now that finals are over. It's just as good as "Pink Think," and it doesn't hurt that you quoted one of my professors in it, Dr. Susan Poulson. :]

Anyways, I just wanted to say great job, and I look forward to new work from you.

Thanks so much for the add! I read your second book, College Girls last spring and completely loved it! Now I'm working on Pink Think, which I also love. Both are laugh out loud funny, completely witty and a little scary too (the subject, I mean, and what went out in advertisements!). Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks, and I hope you are planning a third book! (Because I can't wait to buy it!)
