I know she went all over the world again to research different cultures' takes on marriage, plus now she has her own new second marriage to talk about. Can't wait to read it! I'm afraid I won't be coming to TN in this first round, but maybe post-pub?? I'll let you know when I know. It's funny how little I get to find out ahead of time. Which is a good lesson for me in just lying back and letting the river carry me along. Boy, do I need that lesson. Jules, Elizabeth Gilbert is working on a new book right now, about second marriages.

Secondly, I'm so glad you saw Gilbert ... and I'm so glad she's marrying Brazilian dude. Rock on. I have wondered how they ended up. Is she going to write more?? What did she mostly talk about?? Ooh, if you have a sec, do email me offline! I have been wanting to see if you posted about the talk and am just now getting to your blog again. And will your tour bring you to TN, by chance?

Random House sent out advance reader copies to various teen book clubs, booksellers, and librarians, and now those are the people I'll be going out to meet. These events won't be open to the general public, because the general public won't have read my book yet. So while I am coming to your state (although I don't know which city for sure yet), I don't think I can sneak you into any of the talks. But like I said, I'll provide more details as we get closer and they provide them to me. Heather, that’s an excellent question.

Even though I'm sure I'll probably get skipped if it's only a week... Le sigh. Also, why/how does one get to go on a book tour when their book isn't released yet? (Curious about the marketing strategy.) Need to know the cities! Even though I’m sure I’ll probably get skipped if it’s only a week…
