He's suffered from an embarrassment of riches in his young life as a sports fan. We tell him all the time about my mom who lived her whole life as a Red Sox fan without seeing them win a World Series. In fact, she died Aug. 31, 2004, two months before the Sox won their first series in 86 years. My husband's father lived 86 years as a Chicago Cubs fan without ever getting the big win. I fear my son is in for a future of disappointment after such an amazing run! Can it continue? We certainly hope so! GO PATS!
I was supposed to go to the gym today, but I've got a sick boy home with me, so I'll be hanging with him. There's always tomorrow! Over the weekend, I cruised past the 50,000-word mark with Hoping for Love, so that brings us within shooting distance of THE END. Will keep you posted on how Evan's book is coming along!
Since it's Monday again, I thought I'd share some more reader mail from the past week...
From Marian:
Just wanted to let you know how much I loved Falling for Love. I'm completely smitten with all of the McCarthys of course and have been since I first met Mac & Maddie!!
From Hattie:
Omg Marie! Just finished reading true north. You are my new favorite author. I'm about to go on a reading spree. This is the first of your books that I've read. I've got some catching up to do!
From Jane:
Gansett Island series...wow! Great series! I'd downloaded your Love at First Flight last year and really enjoyed it. Recently I went looking for other titles you'd done and found the Gansett Island Series. I'm hooked!! I just downloaded the 4th one to my NookColor and finished Janey and Joe's story last night. I couldn't put it down. Please keep up the great series; you're a very talented writer!
From Debbie:
Just finished the 4th book in the McCarthy's series. I just couldnt read the series fast enough. Cant wait for the next one. Time to start the Treading Water series.
From Barbara:
I'd forgotten what a wonderful island Gansett Island is. I've decided that it is a magical place full of a powerful love potion. WHY did I wait so long after finished "Starting Over," before starting "Falling for Love?" I was so glad to be back home on Gansett Island. I'd forgotten what a glorious place it is to reside. Of course, now I've got to re-read all of the series. I'd forgotten some of the storylines in the other three books.
So who are you rooting for in Super Bowl? Do you watch the game or just the commercials?
Have a great day!
