Sorry that you didn't get your questions answered before, let me help you out. No I didn't get my book back, but then I didn't really want it back because it was signed to "Ingrid's Bachelor, good luck on your own personal journey. With Great Affection Madeleine Albright" Or something like that... Tim Herzog can keep it, I have my own copy!

I thought the book was representative of me and what I find interesting and important. But just a book is boring and cheesy, what made it cool was the signature from Madame Secretary. It was a shout out to my DC friends and Foreign Service aspirations.

I seriously thought that a man I was interested in would think this was the coolest gift. But if this had been a real reality TV show, I would have been hiding under the covers when this aired. It looks so much sillier on TV...
