And guess what else? BEST FRIENDS FOREVER was an answer on Jeopardy! last night.

The best part about this -- I now know which of my friends, friends of friends, friends of Fran, Facebook friends and Twitter followers watch Jeopardy!

It's more than you'd think.

Breaking blog silence...

...to ask this burning question: What, exactly, is a nightclub hostess?

Is it a waitress? A procurer? A female maitre d'?

Why didn't "nightclub hostess" come up as a possible career option on the test I took in the guidance counselors' office a million years ago?

Yes, in between finishing up the book that will be coming out this summer, and writing a TV pilot about a single lady lawyer who re-meets the love of her life when he comes to work in her law firm, I am fascin...

Good lord!

It's been months -- months! -- since I updated here. And this is just going to be a teensy little update, prompted mostly by the fact that I'm pretty sure my Nanna thinks I'm dead.

Which I'm not! I've been keeping up over on Twitter (@jenniferweiner), and on my Facebook fan page, newly revitalized because I maxed out my friend limit on my personal page (so if you're waiting to be approved as a friend, it's not that I don't want you as a friend, it's that Facebook says I can't have yo...

The BEST FRIENDS FOREVER book tour is mostly over – although I'll be in West Dennis on the Cape tomorrow, and in Chatham on August 20, and in Toronto at some point soon. Meanwhile, this seemed like a good time to round up some of the best questions I got asked on the road. Thanks to everyone who came to see me – it was a real pleasure meeting so many of you as I made my increasingly bleary way across the country.

Feel free to keep in touch on Facebook – the all-new, frequently-updated fan page

The BEST FRIENDS FOREVER book tour is OVER...and it ended with a bang!

At five o'clock, I got The Call. My editor was on the line. My publisher was, too. BEST FRIENDS FOREVER is a number one New York Times best seller.

I think I screamed so loud that they could hear me in New York. And I'm in San Francisco!

Eight hours later, I'm still thrilled, and amazed, and humbled, and so, so grateful to everyone who bought the book, which I hope you're enjoying.

Thanks, especially, to everyone who's friended m
