Random things I adore: backgammon, Calder mobiles, sparkly city lights, cupcakes with pink icing, Girl Scout badges, green architecture, nostalgia, NPR, this old-school Atari game called Adventure, palm trees, art deco, stamp & sticker collecting, train tracks, W hotels.

Hey o my gosh i just finish Take Me There and it was so so so great.i wish it would never end. Things like that always happen to me when i get to the end of great books. Well i just wanted to tell you how great it was and i would it if there was a sequel to it like something like Take Me There Again.

A prize apart from my eternal love and gratitude, you mean? True, that doesn't come in a nifty gift bag, so maybe it doesn't count... :)
