Ummm, THAT just happened!!!

So today I'm cruising my twitter account and checking out some of my replies. I scroll down to look at what one of my friends wrote and then I glance beneath her to see a very familiar name appear below . . ."@JillMansell" . . . written across the screen. At this point it hasn't registered that it is THE Jill Mansell. YES! THE! I'm talking author of "An Offer You Can't Refuse", the book which I had recently given a slightly critical review (yikes!). After my brain began to connect with my eyes I began to FREAK OUT!!! I cannot believe that JILL MANSELL took the time to reply to me (tweet below)????

"JillMansell@cola85 Don't worry Lauren, you're not alone - others have agreed with your review! Read the ones for Miranda's Big Mistake - much better!"

What the world?? And she was so kind, even though I said I was "on the fence" about how I felt about one of her books.

I feel like in some beyond cheesy and sentimental way that I've climbed a hill (possibly a small one, yesss) into the world of literature. I wasn't sure I was going to read another book written by her, but NOW? Well, now, I'm certainly going to crack open another one of hers.

Thank you, @JillMansell for taking the time to reply to my little tweet, it made my day . . . no, WEEK!!
