It will be on my best of year list - in fact, it will be on my best EVER list!

And CALUMET CITY is one of those books that no one's heard of that deserves much more attention. :-)<br /><br />DavidDavid Thompsonhttp://www.bustedflushpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-19435018290686652752009-11-02T13:30:01.272-08:002009-11-02T13:30:01.272-08:00Thank you m'dear!

Of the...Indeed, you did have a grand reading month! Of the ones I've read, we totally agree. Of the ones I haven't, the one I own is screaming louder at me from the shelf now, and the others-especially the dark ones-are now on my To Be Found Soon list. Thank you!<br /><br />Like you, I tried one by a panelist at recent Bouchercon, and it was very good, and I would not have read it or bought it, without being there...so yes, some books do get sold from the convention that would not be sold otherwise. And there are still several on my To Be Bought list, from the panelists I saw, and I'd not known about them or their directions or abilities before.<br /><br />So yes, conventions are good for being more recognized. And your reporting and blogging helps those of us who can't go to all, too.<br />And one person who went, telling others about panels and books...even that way a convention can be a help, imo. Have more great reading months, Donna!<br /> <br />BobbieBobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489240376198748579noreply@blogger.com
