Today I had the opportunity to listen to Lorna Landvik speak at the local library. Oh, the joy. She was great. There was standing room only. She read a little from her newest novel which I haven't read yet. Unfortunately, the bookseller who came did not bring enough copies so I could not get one. I can't remember the title of it but I know it has a Christmas theme so it would have been a great book to buy this time of year. She read from that book and spoke a little about the characters from her other books. She answered questions. She even answered one of my questions! I asked who were her favorite authors. I was so star struck I can't remember who she listed. Jon Hassler was one and Ann Tyler (also on my list) but I can't remember who else she said. Some of her favorite authors were put into the book, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons. I'll have to go back and read that again.
