Mark joined me on The Picky Bookworm this week, and I had SUCH a blast! It turned out to be kind of funny, because he commented on his age at one point, and I admitted I didn't know how old he was when I invited him on. It turned out to be perfect, because it felt like sitting with my grandpa, listening to him talk about his life. He talked about his books, Devil's Bookkeepers, and what inspired them. His parents were survivors of Auschwitz during the Holocaust and immigrated to the US when Mark was very small. This chat was amazing, and enlightening, and incredible. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

I really had an absolute blast during this episode, and I hope you enjoy, as well! Mark did have to set me straight about a couple things, which I never mind. I hate when things make sense in my mind, but don't get verbalized right, but when people are willing to tell me, "Hey, that doesn't sound right," it helps me make sure I'm communicating what I mean in a more sensitive way. I hope you can take a lesson from my mistakes and know that no one is perfect! I've never claimed to be perfect, and understanding that our words do have an impact, whether we mean them the way they sound or not, is important.
If I sound frustrated, it's at myself, not at Mark, so please take his correction in the spirit it's meant. I love all of you and want to make sure this community always remains the kind and wonderful place it's always been. Until Next Time, Friends!
