    The only way I could miss it is by being in a different country, and not having a passport. Which I am, and don’t. This is saddening. That’s why I keep trying different doors, hoping one of them will open onto another country, or another city, or at least something more interesting than random people who are mad at me for opening their door. Silly, disgruntled people.

    Wish I could be there–N and I still have our tix for Oz but not sure when we’re going to be able to sched the trip (perhaps as an add-on to the honeymoon?), BUT I wanted to tell you that I read HTDYF and it was so, so, SO good. I’ve been recommending it to EVERYONE! Congrats, you!

    Books Kinokuniya is one of my favourite bookshops these days, for their not quite run-of-the-mill selection and nice browsing environment. But their spaces for “gatherings” around the store seem a bit on the small side. I hope it works out well on the night.

    Sorry if you’ve already answered this somewhere, but are there any Brisbane appearances coming up??
