Geesh!  My truck should have been through here an hour ago and hasn't made it yet.  Darn pigeons!

The pigeons are coming from Jersey too, so give them some time if you're not that close to NYC.

Not yet, I flipped through to get a feel for it. I have to finish my current book and then I am going to start. I'm anxious to start though!! What I did read really grabbed my attention!

Re: News, Schedules, & Updates

This is odd! I might have developed carrier pigeon fever (and finally I have taken the time to look up the word "pigeon" after realizing that I might have misspelled it - not my mother tongue). Though I have two other books to read for another group, need to work on a knitted bag (from camel yarn my daughter bought in Morocco) and am in the process of finishing an essay about Twitter for my memoir writing group, I find myself looking up from the computer, scanning the sky for a disoriented bird whose eyes telescope toward the ground in an effort to find my house number. I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to use storks for delivery; they are used to larger bundles and probably more efficient when it comes to searching for addresses.

Thanks for the delivery update all of you mid-atlantic, east coasters.  I think this means my pigeon will drop his package in Ohio on Monday.  Happy weekend reading everyone! (I wish I could be as lyrical as some of you but long week, tired, no way)

Does anyone using a PO box for regular mail delivery have their book yet?

Book made it to Brooklyn today!

UPS delivered the book to Brooklyn today!  Thank you!:smileyvery-happy:

 

It's a beautiful book - and I love the last acknowledgment in the back of the book, "To every wise soul who has ever put a book in my hand and encouraged me to read, I thank you always and forevermore."  

 

 

I'm so excited for this book and the 3 weeks that we'll have the author with us.:smileyhappy:

Hi All,

   Just a quick note to say my book arrived in Connecticut yesterday! Yah! So excited! Is there a special discussion area? This is my first time and am so eager, but don't want to miss a thing! Thanks!

No brown boxes awaiting on the porch in Southern California, either.  I'm assuming (hoping!) they'll arrive Monday or Tuesday.
