Kimmy, I’m so glad you liked it! I agree–thanks to all of you who kept bringing up Time Traveler’s Wife so often that we all finally had to read it. I feel enriched because of it.

Annette, do not give up on that book. You have until February, 2008.

Well, I’m a day late but I finally finished The Time Traveler’s Wife!

It was excellent! Thanks to whomever originally recommended we all read it.

Oooh. That’s rough, but at least (kid) knew what to expect, despite hopes.

Patrick,

The only effect the book has had on the signing experience (well, other than the fact that I now HAVE signing experiences!) is that one kid came up to me at a recent school event and handed me a folder, saying, “I know from reading your book that I’m not supposed to do this, but could you look at my manuscript?”

I had to say no. Hurt, too.

We do own a tv but there is nothing on Sat. night and if I do watch something I will read during commercials.

My schedule has been pretty heavy during the week and until it lets up, I am allowing myself to rest & read on the weekends. “Get your chores done and you get the reward of reading,” I tell myself. Great motivator.

Michele, if you don’t love Eat, Pray, Love, I’ll eat a bug.

Just finished The Secret Life of Bees. GREAT book….but I hear the audio is a bit hard to take….especially on a long car ride. Started to read Eat, Pray, Love….thank you thank you for Robin! Don’t know where I would be finding my next books without your blog. Although on my recent ski trip I found some interesting titles in a Turkish magazine that I will go searching for at bookmans. (No I was not skiing in Turkey, the magazine just happened to be at the place I was staying). Will try (without to much trouble, if the first pages are any indication of the rest of the book) to finish the current book by next week.

Readerdiane, I continue to be in awe of your reading productivity. Please tell me–do you own a TV? I know that’s BJ’s secret to reading as much as she does.

So I finished the new JD Robb, interesting mystery and I still love the characters. They grow more familiar-family like-in each book.
We had a cold rainy weekend so I read a couple of historicals.

I have just started Mercedes Lackey-Fortune’s Fool. This is part of her satire on fairy tales.It doesn’t appear to be as “grim” as the original tales.
I have started a couple of books but they haven’t had the right appeal at that moment-they go in the TBR pile. I might get back to them.

I’d like to hear from Barry if his book has affected his book signing experience.
