I have to start with the great way that my **signed** copy of "Of Grace and Chocolate" came into my hands. After reading a
fun interview with Krista on Sara M. Eden's blog, I thought,
I need to read Krista's book. She sounds so amazing! And just a few weeks later I received an invitation on Facebook to come to Krista's signing in Cody, Wy (which happens to be mere miles from where I grew up!) and wanted so badly to go. I even texted my best friend, Brook, who lives in Cody and told her to say "hi" to Krista for me. Lo and behold a few days later a package arrived on my doorstep. My husband held it tauntingly at me and said, "What did you order this time?" Which is a totally valid question when you're married to someone with a book addiction. Except this time I
hadn't ordered anything. I took the package with a quizzical glance until I saw the return address. As I ripped it open, I said, "OH! I hope it's signed!" My husband, now confused, said, "You hope
what is signed?"
Yes, readers, it was a copy of "Of Grace and Chocolage," which my amazing best friend had gotten and mailed to me since I couldn't go to the signing myself. I sat right down to read and emerged an hour or so later, already a good chunk into the book, when my family demanded to be fed.
When Luisa was looking for reviewers, I'd already heard such good things about her novel, "Dispirited", that I started waving my hand frantically in the air, despite the pile of stuff already on my "to do" list. And boy am I glad I did.
