So now there's a stack of these in Porter Square Books:



The reading went really well. nineweaving's new paperback is very classy. Afterward derspatchel presented me with a hardcover reprint of Esther Averill's Jenny and the Cat Club (1973) and sairaali gave me a stunningly adorable hand-knitted nudibranch. I got to talk to schreibergasse for more than half an hour between job interviews and audioboy took the picture above. My book is sitting between something with a cat on it and the paperback of a novel I have been waiting for.

Evening: success.

Is that Gladstone's Full Fathom Five to the left of your book? Did you pick it up? I'm looking forward to your review of it.

I'm sorry not to have been there - but glad it went well!

That sounds immensely successful and satisfying. Hooray!

Also, the nudibranch is adorable.

Congratulations! It also looks as though one of your cats has snuck onto the neighbouring book cover to watch.

Hurrah for you and Greer! I saw the reading in PSB's latest e-mail newsletter, and promptly cursed because James had got us tickets, months ago, to see Vienna Teng in Somerville last night. I am glad to hear it went beautifully. I wish I could have attended!

It was very good to see you in a non-rushed situation, too! Thank you so much for letting me tag along to dinner. And sorry if I spent too much of it complaining about the current state of my life.

The black cat on the cover of The Good Luck of Right Now is interested in your book.

So glad the reading went well.
