    Hah, it means a lot to hear you say that.

    I really look forward to reading Throat!

    And Kudos on having Bjork on your page!
    She's got to be one of my favorites.
    Isobel is definitely a beautiful song.
    My favorite song she does is called "In Our Hands."
    Post was my favorite album of hers.
    Medulla was great, too.

    And I see you like Joanna Newsom.

    I want to buy a harp because of her.
    (Ps. have you ever noticed that she sounds like Lisa Simpson sometimes?)

    Anyways,
    It's great to know I have so much in common with my favorite author.

    I must admit, I didn't think you'd actually write me.
    But I'm glad you did.

    I hope you have a wonderful day.

    -Amelia.

    Thank you sincerely for adding me.

    I'd like to say that I first read Teach Me in my Sophomore year in high school.
    It was an accident.

    My creative writing teacher assigned us all books to read and write a summary of. I was originally assigned To Kill A Mockingbird, but my teacher handed it to another girl, and I got Teach Me.

    At first I was going to hand it back, but I read the back panel first.
    Intrigued me right away.

    I read the first chapter, and immediately fell in love.

    The analogies you use, and how you really feel in tune with all of Carolina's emotions and thoughts captivated me.
    It is so beautifully written.

    I've read it 4 times since then.

    And I've read all your other books and fell in love, too.

    But still, there are no words to describe how Teach Me changed my life.
    You have captivated me.
    I can't thank you enough for your beautiful words.

    All the love in the world,

    Your fan,
    Amelia S. Rogers.

    Ps. Last year I named my bicycle Wilkie.
    Hope that doesn't sound too nerdy.

    Show our military there are still plenty of people who appreciate their service and sacrifice. Pass this YouTube video link to every person you know so it will eventually reach every present and former military person across the globe! Love your freedom? Thank your military. :-)
