MediaBistro Book Club Party – Review

Today I got the chance to attend the coolest book club party ever, hosted by MediaBistro.com. This was my first MediaBistro event, and I am so glad I attended. The staff was super friendly, thanks to Stephanie Mack, MediaBistro’s Event Manager for helping me register for the event, because I was really having technical difficulties that day. Thank you Stephanie for being so patient with me and it was a pleasure to meet you. I also got the chance to meet Jason Boog, Publishing Editor at MediaBistro.com, he’s exactly how he describes himself on his blog, very friendly and welcoming.

But I can say that you can do what you set your mind to do.
