It&#39;s a really powerful, engaging read. Which is part of why this whole thing is such a shame- it deserved to be nominated for the award. <br /><br />@Beth - Oh, I agree, Myracle&#39;s response is strategic and smart. There&#39;s nothing else she could do <i>but</i> withdraw, and she did it in the most graceful way.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628530227439660832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106305278604193777.post-76677805813657185702011-10-18T15:50:20.991-07:002011-10-18T15:50:20.991-07:00While saying this is an unfortunate situation is an understatement, I honestly think Myracle&#39;s classiness at this who debacle was very strategic. She withdraws her nomination, she looks like the bigger person, and the NBF look like bumbling idiots. Now she&#39;s classin&#39; it up all the way to the bank because people are buying her book in droves. That sounds cynical, but I completely support Myracle in this situation and think the NBF ARE bumbling idiots. I just think, based on the attention she&#39;s getting, she totally made the right decision to withdraw.Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6106305278604193777.post-79104813019174980282011-10-18T10:18:11.692-07:002011-10-18T10:18:11.692-07:00What a snafu! I guess the bright side for Myracle is that her book is getting a lot of publicity now. I certainly want to read it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
