We have a focus group of students we use in my library -- most of them are employees of the library, some of them frequent the library, all of them have opinions about the library. They were emphatic that until or unless library promotions included stickers, the promotions would be a failure. We added stickers and partnered with the local public library to do a new series in 2024.

People love stickers. This is what I am saying, but also what science is saying. Stickers AND books?

Two great tastes that taste great together. Your marketing whiz is worth every dollar, Lyz.

The stickers were my marketing team's idea. I wanted matchbooks (lol!) but those are apparently "dangerous to store in a warehouse".....so we have stickers! And I love them

Fantastic! And now you've created a secondary market for those matchbooks -- collector's items, each one of them. Very clever.

My daughter and her gf gave me matches for my birthday that say "BYRNE BABY BYRNE" and, well, the gift giving bar cannot get any higher.

Matchbooks are not stored anywhere?

Honestly, my daughter has been begging for employment because she (12) wants to save for a car (another lol). So any opportunity she has to make money is a good one.

I searched for "American Ex-Wife" in my inbox and found it. Pre-orders launched on 8/10/2023 if that helps narrow it down.

I look forward to Burn It Down being 2024's slogan of the year and possibly, my entire personality. Thank you for sharing!

I'm still not sure why I didn't get the last two posts, but the circumstance sent me to the website and I found the giveaway so all is good.

Hi Lyz. I'm working on it. I want to order it through my local bookseller, Mystery to Me, here in Madison though, so it may take a week to 'Cross the I's and dot the T's'.

In the meantime, thank you for everything you have done and are doing for all of us!

Wishing you and all of yours a safe and happy 2024. Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas too!

Pete
