I've got another site I can post it on ......on my way!!
Done!
Just so people are aware, we originally had a choice of doing an
email blast or a contest. We decided to do both, plus add the library
idea, plus the new places people are coming up with to donate to. Each site you tell really helps the cause. There are so many fan sites out there and it's cool to represent each one for Taylor Cool
Liz is right and it is important to keep those threads going on each site until the end of the promotion which is July 15th.

So please be sure to check in with your sites and post an encouraging note every day of the promotion if you can! Cool

Once again, thanks so much for supporting Taylor in his first venture to tell his tale.

Early review at EW online
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20044907,00.html

this can be construed as high praise given how Taylor has been treated in general by EW

get the feeling she's miffed that there isn't some knee deep Idol dirt for her to wallow in ? ?   lmao when I read her comment - talk about a shallow review  ! ! !   Haha

BTW - - there is a place to grade the book at the top of the article - but it might be better to wait until the book is actually out to do that

Book Review
Heart Full of Soul

By Shirley Halperin

If you bought into Taylor Hicks' Soul Patrol shtick, you'll probably want to check out this memoir, which details the gray-haired American Idol winner's struggle to be heard — musically and otherwise — before the show made him a household name.

Crossroads Moment The Alabama native was stranded in New Orleans in August 2005, getting a ride out of town mere hours before Hurricane Katrina hit. Later, he used his airline voucher to fly to Las Vegas for the Idol auditions.

Lowdown Diehards looking for Idol dirt or behind-the-scenes insight will be disappointed to learn that Hicks devotes little more than two chapters to his time on the show. Apparently, when it comes to the star-making machine, he remains a tortured soul. C+

These are reporting stores and book outlets that count toward, at least, the USA Today BestSeller List. I assume the NYT list is pretty close:

This is a great chart Evancol has up showing which retailers report to which book charts

http://z8.invisionfree.com/whompswamp/in...wtopic=309

now according to this chart Walmart does report to USA - - ???

but Sam's Club doesn't - they don't report CD sales to SoundScan either and have wondered how many of Taylor's CDs they sold that went unreported - - - -
I wonder if my local Mr. Paperback reports somewhere...they must, right? That's the reason I DIDN'T go to Walmart, and paid full price.
