Okay, I haven’t read the series but Rozen (not her real name), our editor, is a fan of it and I keep meaning to get to read but never got the time to do so since the plot is the type of book I’d usually read! Since he’s coming, I decided to go have a read of it, but first I NEEDED TO FIND IT. Apparently somehow the books are disappearing.
Probably cause there’s people finding out about his appearance in Singapore too. It always happens like that for various author appearances when they come to Singapore. I only managed to get a copy at Borders. In any case what better way to get into a book than by going to the session and meet the author himself? Heh.
See you guys there if any of you readers are going!
I’m going! Got my place reserved!
Oh yes, and I saw the HBO version — episodes lots of — when I was in UK (BBC iViewer) and they are so good. Differ from the books somewhat, but not at all disappointing, except for the little white van, which is a truck and is too big. But acting is fabulous and settings just how I imagined.
How’s the post-op jaw? I guess your face was like a chipmunk’s for a while, all puffed up.
HAHAHA, yes it is! I’m still coming though since I’ll sit nicely and listen. I’ve charged my batteries so you can have a picture with him too if you like!
