So seeing ADLER making the Wattys shortlist wasn't something I was honestly expecting, much less prepared for knowing how to expressing going on the listing and seeing it there, it's wow like, WOW. Damn, it's real. And it made me immediately think back to all the comments and votes from everyone who decided to give the book a chance and that glimmer of recognition you all gave me is a moment I find myself remembering twice as fondly with seeing this today (couldn't use the internet router yesterday because there wasn't really power) and I just wanted to say, at the expense of being a broken record again— thank you so much to all of you! And thank you to Wattys!
