author spotlight

Hey bookies-
I was tickled to get this email from our very own Laurie Viera Rigler, author of Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, asking if we'd like to participate in a call-in about the book next Wednesday. What fun! Here's her email. See you next Tuesday at my place. Info in the previous post.

From Laurie Viera Rigler

Hi, Kristen.

I'm the author of Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict. I saw your blog post about your upcoming book club meeting, and I thought I'd let you know that the day after your meeting, June 25, I'm doing a live call-in show on Blog Talk Radio, which is open to all book clubs and readers everywhere. Perhaps your book group might like to call in and talk to me about the book? (Don't worry; there won't be a quiz as to whether or not everyone's finished the book ;-)

Anyway, here is the info if you're interested:

June 25, 2008 7:00 PM EST
Live call-in show on Blog Talk Radio
Topic: Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict with author Laurie Viera Rigler
Hosted by Book Club Girl (a must-read blog for book clubs and avid readers everywhere): Book Club Girl
For more information, or to set a reminder, go to:
Book Club Girl Talks with Laurie Viera Rigler
Call-in number: (347) 945-6149
Open to all book clubs and individual readers of the book.

By the way, I like that page of Austen punishments and songs you linked to from your blog. I may just have to add that to the Jane's Addictions page of my site...

Here's something else that might make you laugh: two campaign videos for my favorite candidate. Hint: her initials are J.A.

Hope to talk to you, and in any case, I wish you happy journeys to 1813 England!

All my best,

Laurie
