Thanks, Renee.
And thank you all for coming out tonight.
A quick technical note before we start-- you'll notice we
have all of our readers' books for sale tonight.
And some of these books have a 10% discount,
and some have a 20% discount for faculty members and students
with a CatCard.
But enough of that.
I'm very excited and honored to introduce
tonight's lovely readers--
Melissa Buckheit, Karen Rigby, and Anne Shaw.
And the order that they'll be reading tonight is just that.
Melissa will start first, followed by Karen,
and then finally with Anne.
