@Melanie – how fun that the reviews moved a few copies! That makes me very happy.

As for kid spaces…this is just an upside of having a basement. We kept tripping over everything in NYC in our apartment, which wasn’t actually tiny as these things go, but felt like it! Having a place where the kids stuff could just be without constant pick up was…nice.

Thanks for including two of my books! One of the nice things about being such a small publisher is that I noticed the bump in sales. I’m so glad you enjoyed the books! One of the reviewers of Here’s the Deal (the follow up to Okay, So Look – yes, it is Exodus) mentioned using the book in a Bible study class and that just delights me. I know Micah is also hoping that his books will get some non-believers to read the Bible stories and see how great some of them are.

I should maybe check out Homebody to learn how to make peace with the kids’ spaces in my house. When we remodeled and added on space to our living room, the kids claimed the newly opened space between the sofa and the hall/walkway as their own. They call it the “back living room” and as you saw, it is overrun with Legos and such most days!

Intrigued also to learn of Spencer Johnson’s new book. In my house, if anyone yells “cheese”, it’s shorthand for “who moved my stuff?” 🙂

@M Tiro – my father taught at Notre Dame until he retired.

(Slate and The Federalist, too>) I LOVED Jonah Goldberg’s book and am so glad you included it in your list. Hope it leads to his selling at least a few more copies.
