    Bonnie,
    That's fantastic!!! You know I loved it. It made me clap. You know a book is good when clapping is involved.

    Congratulations!

    I read that just last week and loved it! Well deserved! (It turned out to be one of those rare books from the library that I brought home in the morning and then spent all day reading and neglecting everything else I "should" have been doing. Congratulations, Bonnie! Your book also receives my personal "My Family is Getting Frozen Pizza for Dinner" Award. :)

    I clapped too, and called her Lovely, just like Patti. It was an honourable mention for Book of the Year as well.

    Her non-fiction Your best You won an Award of Merit at the same gala event.
