Time zones suck!

I was very excited earlier this week when I received an email announcing that there is going to be a web chat with Tana French early next week. At least I was excited until I realised that 1.30pm Tuesday ET equates to 3.30 am Wednesday here! Maybe if it wasn't a school night I might consider staying up for it, but unless I chuck a sickie, I really do have to go to work on Wednesday.

In the mean time I am waiting very impatiently for Faithful Place to come in at the library. I am number one on the list so I will get it pretty quickly once it finally arrives from the supplier.

In the meantime, if you are interested in participating, then here are the details:


Penguin Books invites you and your readers to join the celebrated mystery author, Tana French, for a chat at the Penguin Water Cooler on Tuesday, July 20th at 1:30 PM ET, hosted here on the Penguin USA website!
If someone does end up participating in the chat I would love to hear what happens at the chat.

  1. I just finished IN THE WOODS last week and LOVED it. I hope to be able to participate in this. I don't have the time zone issues, but I have the must-work-for-a-living issues. LOL! I'm so glad I found Tana French!

  2. Yes, time zones do indeed suck, LOL. I just started this book, though, so I don't want to hear her talk about it and spoil anything!

  3. Literate Housewife, I liked In the Woods a lot, but I really loved The Likeness. So good.

    Michele, that is always a debate isn't it. The coolness of being able to listen to a favourite author talk versus not wanting to inadvertently spoil!

  4. Marg,
    I can't remember if I contacted you about this, but I have an award for you over at my blog! You can find it under the label, "The Versatile Blogger!"

  7. I agree that time zones suck. A lot of the chats that are US based are at times that I couldn't possible be online.

  8. I have heard such good things about French's books and I am eager to try them. I do have a copy of the first in this series on my shelf, and I can't wait to get to it. I am also sorry that you couldn't join the chat :(
