Secondly, some great news! Read on!
By some strange twist of fate, my book, The Memory Palace, has been nominated for a huge award called the National Book Critics Circle Award . This is a big deal, so I hear.
There are a couple free events in NYC for this award and if you are around the city then, it would be amazingly wonderful to see some of my Mira's List peeps in the audience.
Here is the info for the NBCC events in New York. Both events are free and open to the public. There's a reception following the awards ceremony that does cost money but you don't have to go to that.

Congratulations Mira!!
That is wonderful news!
You give so much to the community of writers and artists, both through your listings here, and through your craft as well.
I'm filled with joy to hear of your work being acknowledged in such a big way.

Congratulations!
Congratulations! (You should correct the link to the National Book Critics circle, however)
