More spying...

If anyone is in the Atlanta area and wants to make submissions of the juicy spying they've been doing on their own, or even the yummy books they've been reading themselves, hit me up on facebook, yo. Or list as a comment on this post and I'll add your submission to my blog! Since I am only one person, I can only do so much spying all by myself and the whole world is reading! Be a pal and help me out.

If you wanna join the fun send me the book's title/author, a brief (polite) description of the reader: include gender, age, what they're wearing, any distinguishing features, whatever you see! Also include the location they have been spotted in. If the reader is yourself, please be smart and don't publish anything that might be of use to a stalker or serial killer. I will not include any specific addresses on this blog. Don't give me your street/apartment number. I will make fun of you and maybe egg your house. You can say 12th Street or Peachtree Branch Library because those are public places and that's what's up. Got it?
