Serenity and Authors

This past weekend was packed full of fun times! On Sunday I went and saw Audrey Niffenegger read her new book Three Incestuous Sisters, which is more of a picture book, though definetly not for children. It was very very interesting, while at the same time a bit disturbing. I got the new book signed and I also got my very own paperback of The Time Traveler's Wife signed as well. My co-worker I went with had a first edition of The Time Traveler's Wife and a proof as well! She managed to get both of those signed, and we got free broadsides for buying the new book. I have yet to find a frame for the broadside and I am a little nervous out it because it's worth money and in my possession...

Ms. Niffenegger did reccommend a book she is currently reading in proof which is about a traveling Catholic circus. It is called 'Life and Resurrection' or something of that nature. She is going to blurb it, but it probably won't be out for about another few months (at least). The way she described it reminded me of Carnivale and I thought perhaps those interested in that show would like the book.

Don't worry, I am not going to review Serenity, except to say that you should see it. I read one review that said the special effects were bad - but they aren't. Sure they aren't Star Wars, but quite frankly who wants to watch that movie again... not me...
