That must have been a kicker. Going to keep my eye out for your review next.Aisle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269549353612065870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-1840009921660523162011-08-04T15:46:26.317-04:002011-08-04T15:46:26.317-04:00I'm pretty shy at author events, Kathy, though...I'm pretty shy at author events, <b>Kathy</b>, though I find it helps to be able to say I'm a book blogger: it makes me less shy about asking to take a pic with the author! :)<br /><br /><b>Rachel</b>, too bad you missed it, although as you can see from my pic, I was bloody hot! This was the first reading of a graphic novel/memoir I'd ever attended, and I thought Sarah's method worked really well. (I do wish I'd taken a pic of her reading!)<br /><br />Ha-ha, <b>Brigitte</b>, you do!<br /><br /><b>Ti</b>, I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues with commenting on Blogger. Grr. I'm not entirely sure why she decided to write a graphic memoir in the end, other than the fact that when she was making notes (when her mother was sick), she also drew sketches so she could remember her mother's expressions, etc.<br /><br /><b>Brogan</b>, thanks for encouraging me to buy this book -- I'm sure I'm going to love it! (About the art, I actually feel like the whole thing looks like something you drew!)<br /><br /><b>Susan</b>, I was sorry to miss the joint event you and Sarah did in Kingston, but glad that I at least got to go to Sarah's reading. Thanks for letting me know about this book!avisannschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486477882148877317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-77795323869633493672011-08-03T21:18:22.347-04:002011-08-03T21:18:22.347-04:00So glad you got to meet Sarah!
