Ravenous Reader: I’m midway through Wolf Hall – like it, but a little put off by her style of using “he” so ungrammatically….

Ali: I was glad we could work out the finances…a little bit of a stretch, but I’m willing to give up some stuff in the next few months in order to attend

Stephanie: Oh, I wish you could go too!

Swapna: Sorry to hear you didn’t love Keeping the Feast – it really resonated with me.

Ooh, I really want to read Year of the Flood! I read Keeping the Feast and liked it, but didn’t love it.

So glad you were able to work out the finances to attend BEA and the Book Blogger event, even with your unexpected trip this month.

I finished Wolf Hall this morning. It was dense and dark, but wonderfully written. I hope you enjoy it!

Molly: I really hope you’ll be there – I’d love to meet you in person!

Verbatim: I hope I love Wolf Hall since it is so long *laughs* My pleasure pointing you toward the Classics Circuit…it is terrific.

Colleen: Keeping the Feast is fabulous!

Staci: LOL – Not all of Atwood’s books are dystopic…personally I loved Handmaid’s Tale, but I know it is not for everyone

Jenners: DO NOT pay for the BEA! Go to this page (which is for press) and enter as a book blogger – you will get a three day FREE Press pass (you also can avoid registering at the BEA at all if you register for the BBC which will automatically get you hooked up with a three day pass for the BEA)

Kathy: Yay – I can’t wait to meet you in person Oh, I think you will LOVE Keeping the Feast.

I’m so glad you’ll be at BEA! I’m also excited to see Keeping the Feast is so good, because I’ll be reading it soon.

That is neat about BEA and the BBC being linked. Does that mean you don’t have to pay for the BEA to enter??? If so, that might be my angle to sell it to hubby.

Your books that you just finished all sound great. I’ve only read one Atwood-Handmaid’s Tale- and it scared me to death!! I’m a huge fan of Lisa See!!
