As a librarian and a total "bookaholic" I am pretty much addicted to Goodreads. I try to rate all the books that pass my 50 page rule, with the exception of picture books. It's not that I don't like picture books - I love them - but we read so many of them that I just don't take the time to put them on my account.
A couple of days ago I noticed that one of my goodreads friends had rated the book "Race You to Bed" by Bob Shea. Now, just because I don't rate the picture books I read, doesn't mean I'm not going to comment on someone else's review. I added a comment to her review that said, "My 4 year old ADORES this book." It's true. Ever since I brought it home from the library he's wanted to hear it multiple times each day.
Anyway, I didn't think anything else about the comment until an email appeared in my goodreads mailbox - from Bob Shea! The message was titled "Your 4 year old" and the first line read "is really really smart." Then he went on to ask if I would try and get Wesley to review the book!
I totally geeked out about this! Almost as much as when I met Laini Taylor at BEA last year. I emailed Duane and my dad. I did a little happy dance at my desk. Like I said, totally geeked out! Now I just have to sit down with Wesley in the next day or two so he can give me his professional opinion. Don't worry, I'll let you know what he says.
