Dear friends —

Last Tuesday, I spoke at the New York Public Library (my holy of holies) with my friend the novelist Ann Patchett.

They had an illustrator at the event, who sketched these pictures of us, along with quotes from our conversation — so lovely….thought you might enjoy.

I especially love Ann's statement that we must write the book that we miss, that we ourselves long to read. That is, I think, the very heart and bones of creativity — to make by hand the thing that you feel empty without, the thing that you feel the world is lacking. You see the void and you fill it…

SMOOCH,
LG

SOAT in Spain…with a reader from my own hometown!

Photos of Elizabeth Gilbert
Stopped into a small book store in Figueres, Spain during my big European adventure with my boyfriend and decided to pick up your book in Español to work on perfecting my language skills. Traveled from Litchfield, CT to Europe and your writing helps me feel a connection to home. It's a magical way to test my language skills. Thanks, Liz!

SOAT or the puppy? Seems an easy choice to me! Go PLAY!

Sweet Isabelle wants to play. "Don't read", she implored! I tried to explain to her the human inability to put a good book down, especially when one is so close to the ending, but my pleas fell on deaf puppy ears. And so…we play…Alma will have to wait.:(

The SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS cocktail/book club challenge!

Holy shit! THEY DID IT!

Some of you may recall that a few weeks ago I posted a recipe that my friend Amy Stewart (author of "The Drunken Botanist") invented for a Signature of All Things cocktail…mossy great goodness deliciousness!

I dared you all to mix up a pitcher of them for a SOAT book club meeting, and a friend of this page named Amy Ashley just posted these photos…the fabulous liquid green evidence!

You have no idea how happy this makes me…and apparently the drinks were rather dangerously wonderful.

Thank you, Amy!

And if anyone else wants to host a mossy green boozey book party, here is the recipe:

Here it is, you guys…the clip of me on Colbert last night. Wearing my first suit, by the way. (I thought we should square off suit-to-suit.) Talking about THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS, and artistic suffering, and sexy time.

I had a ball…thanks to all who tuned in!
