  2. I can’t wait to hear about the Festival and how it went for you, and for your book! I’d like to hear more about your publishing journey too. My next children’s book comes out in mid-September. It’s the promoting I dislike – the writing and sharing I love.

    I finished Beautyland. VERY different. The writing is different – the author uses a lot of different rhetorical devices, and some I don’t even know. :-) Fascinating story. The end gave me goosebumps.

    • Once again, the Festival was blistering hot, but thankfully, I was in the first time slot, 10-noon. They sold 8 of my books Saturday, and when I was there, we sold another 9! I was very outgoing in greeting people, but the book half sells itself, too. So many lovely people and children buying the book. Even though crazy-hot, it was great.

      Yes, Beautyland is very different and very unusual in every way I just loved Adina’s perspective on everything and her relationship to her mother. Everyone continued to grow in often-unexpected ways. I had not expected that I’d be getting so anxious about the Others not responding to Adina’s faxes. I need to go back in and read the ending again … I’m glad I didn’t send the book to anyone. :-)

      • Adina is someone I could relate to, at least that very introverted part of me who is sure she belongs to an alien family. Yes, she had a great perspective on this world, which is crazy and truly in so many ways makes no sense. I was anxious about the faxes as well, and I’m still not quite sure what happened there. I think the author leaves it up to the reader to decide. :-0 Whatever, THANK you for suggesting the book to me. And selling 17 books at a book festival is a success! So, Congrats.

        • I went online to do a little quick research on the ending for Adina, and as best I can figure, the author was leaving it up to the reader to decide who – or what – Adina really was. I chose to go with her being an alien, but I still want to go back and re-read the last few chapters or so. No matter what, it’s a great book and I’m so glad you like it.

          I’m now reading The Phoenix Crown by Kate Quinn (of The Alice Network) and Janie Chang, and loving it, but … a book I requested on inter-library just came in – The Book of Love by Kelly Link. It got rave reviews on Reese’s Book Club, I think, or maybe NPR. And now I want to read Parakeet by Adina’s author … ay yi yi!

          Thanks on the book sales. :-)

          • I just finished reading a Kate Quinn novel – The Huntress. Let me know how Phoenix Crown is. And The Book of Love I better look into. Too many books too too little time. I’m reading three at a time. The Huntress I listened to on Audibles – good Russian accents etc. I’ll look at Parakeet also, but Adina was a one in a million (like the stars…) :-)

          • I didn’t read The Huntress, just The Alice Code which is a hair outside my top 7 favorite novels of all time. Would The Huntress be equally as good in a book? Quinn is an excellent writer. Yes, Adina is definitely a unique book and character .. makes one a little cautious about another book by the same author – how can it possibly measure up? Too many books is right!

          • I’ve started The Phoenix Crown. Because my head is still pretty much with Jazzy, it’s pretty hard to read anything.

            I think why things will be hard to compare to Alice, is that that was a truly exceptional book. I’m liking this, but have now jumped over to The Book of Love because it’s on inter-library loan. Keep you posted ….
