My friend Jill made me a super-cute purse for my birthday (as you can see) and it turns out I can fit three books in it at once. Three!
I was going bonkers yesterday waiting for my video of the Skylight Books expansion to upload to YouTube. It’s only 33 seconds. And it’s fun!
In the middle of bonkers I was trying to organize boxes, and moving notebooks from one to another I felt compelled to share (that’s below). Rarely did my concert notes take such a narrative form. That night, tho, I had plenty of room at the bar, nobody to talk to and a lot of time to kill.
I like Maud’s list of books she’d like to see as movies, but I fear that an important, serious (and near the end, so no spoilers) character in The End of Mr. Y simply would not work on screen. That said, someone in Hollywood should give Scarlett Thomas heaps of money anyway; it’s a damn good book.
Tomorrow morning, the marvelous Gwenda Bond will be on NPR’s Weekend Edition, talking about the new edition of Anne of Green Gables.
ah shucks. thanks. you took a great photo. mine turned out lame.
