So I was recently invited to join a book club. I am… not the book club type. But when I read Girls Fall Down by Maggie Helwig I immediately ordered my friend Jonathan to read it as well. Which he did, and then he said, “I read the book you -”

And I hollered, “No! No! Don’t say anything! I don’t want to know if you didn’t like it!”

“But -”

“Shhhh!” I said, stomping my foot.

“Ohhh! I get why you don’t want to go to the book club,” he said, laughing. “Because you HAVE a book club already. It’s called: Read This Book, And Then Say I Loved It or be Silent.”

Which… okay. He’s right. Now, Jonathan did get to say, finally, that he really liked Girls Fall Down. That’s all he got to say, but he did get to say it. And now YOU can be part of my book club too!

Because I’ve gotten permission from Coach House Books to read you the first chapter. And once you’ve heard the first chapter, you will go out and buy a copy, yes? Yes. Then you may write and tell me how much you loved it.

Asides

  • Apologies, I did record the March 15 show but had unanticipated technical difficulties. Look for the next show on March 17.
  • For an upcoming Quirky Quiz: I'm looking for a strong (real) accent. Players do their best to sound like you, you get to laugh at them and judge who did the best job. Want to play? Let me know.
  • For those of you who are interested in becoming QN voice actors but don't have a microphone set-up, I've heard good things about the new "Mikey", which plugs directly into most iPods (including the iPod Nano). [learn more] (No, I have nothing to do with the company, I'm just glad that there's an inexpensive mic that allows a larger group of people to participate in QN.)
