Do not be alarmed. I have changed my URL. Comes with a funny funny story. At least it's funny to me. I was not being such a successful spy at Caribou Coffee one afternoon--I had forgotten my glasses, which I obviously need for seeing across rooms in dim light. And I broke one of my own unwritten spy rules. I asked a gentleman what he was reading.
I'm not sure why this has to be a rule, but it does make the spying more meaningful. Anyway, I explained to him that I keep a blog and he should check it out because his book would be on there. Of course he asked me what the website was and I told him "Atlanta Reads@blogspot", which it most certainly was not. If anyone has been bothering to follow this blog, you may or may not remember that the URL was Beckymadeablog. Which is a silly URL anyway and does not have much to do with spying or reading or Atlanta. I slapped my forehead at the error I had made as I walked out of Caribou. Of course I smiled at the man and pretended I was totally competent as a blogger and professional and intriguing and confident, but I was sore ashamed at the idea that he might never find his book and description on the world wide web and think I was a big, creepy fraud.
So, I've changed my URL to "atlanta-reads" to avoid further mishaps. But, here's hoping I will always remember my spy gear (glasses) and never have to reveal my identity again.
Happy Reading!
