GRAMMYs!!!

Hi Everyone!
First off, let me tell you how ashamed I am that it's been several weeks without a post. I was promised guest reviews by a few coworkers I cornered and bullied, but it looks like my vacation week passed without an update. I am chastened, and because I want to make it up to all you loyal readers, I'm not starting my weekend until I've given you this post. Yes, I am lame and in the office at 6:30 on a Friday. Hopefully, though, I will not be lame enough to still be in the office at 7pm. So... on to the big news!

Nominations for the 51st Annual GRAMMY® Awards were just announced by The Recording Academy®, and while Lil Wayne tops the list with 8 nominations, Hachette Audio is not too far behind the music superstar, having been awarded two of the five nominations in the Spoken Word category! Congratulations to everyone who worked on I AM AMERICA and WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES!

This is our third nomination for David Sedaris and first for Stephen Colbert. These two Hachette Audio titles are in some very impressive company; click the link for information on our competition and other nominees.
