		<description>Ms. Gideon,
I just finished your book, Pucker. I am 14 years old, and it is 4 in the morning. I picked it up at 8 and since I&#039;m a slow reader, I just finished it. I could not put it down! I loved it; I was so happy to finally read a good book. Some parts confused me though, but overall, I loved it. Are you thinking about making a sequel? ;) I plan on reading The Slippery Year and the Map asap :D</description>

		<description>Dear Ms. Gideon,
I&#039;ve just started your book &quot;The Slippery Year&quot; and already I&#039;m in love with it! You&#039;ve captured my life. I am 49 and have been married for 23 1/2 years to a wonderful man. We have 2 children ages 14 and 16. 

My maiden name is Gideon and my 2 sisters are twins so I feel a real connection to you! 

Just wanted to say how much I&#039;m enjoying the book! I&#039;m sure the rest will be as great as the beginning!

Thank you!</description>

		<description>Read your book over the holiday weekend and enjoyed it very much.  I&#039;ve been married 29 years now, to a wife who&#039;s a real fire cracker.

We have two daughters 22 and 25, both out of college now, both, thankfully employed.

Appreciated that the book was about more or less normal people going through normal things.</description>

		<description>Hi Melanie, 
You were one of my camp counselors from ECC in RI. It&#039;s nice to hear of your success. I look forward to reading your book, The Slippery Year.</description>

		<description>I just had the pleasure of listening to you read tonight at the MakeOut Room - wonderful stuff!  I&#039;ll have to get a copy of The Slippery Year when I get a chance.

My ex was from RI, btw, and I feel like a need to ask what number you have/had on your license plates.  I&#039;m sure there&#039;s some kind of therapy for this.</description>

		<description>Hi Melanie,

I&#039;m reading your book at this time and enjoying it. I&#039;m not a mom nor a wife, but an East coaster from Long Island, NY. You are so funny how you describe West coast to East coast, how I can relate. I loved your description of the Trader Joe&#039;s life experience. I couldn&#039;t stop laughing...I work for Trader Joe&#039;s in the Bay area and printed that page for my co-worker&#039;s to read. Post it in the break room. They all lol!  

You are refreshing! I miss the sense of humor from the East coast. Hope you write more books...
your fan, Ellen</description>

		<description>I&#039;m so happy you liked The Map!  I&#039;m not planning on writing a sequel.  I was, originally, then got swept up in another book.  I still love Billy and Nora, however.  Thanks for writing, Noelle.</description>
