My favorite quote of the day comes from my friend Maureen, who replied, after I has emailed her that my book All the Saints of the City of the Angels has been named a finalist for the SCIBA (Southern California Independent Booksellers Association) nonfiction book of the year:
“I celebrated by going to my nearest independent book seller and buying another copy.”
How absolutely, fittingly perfect.
(And just for the record, she shopped at Vroman’s: they had 2 copies left)
