People came to BookPeople!  I always have a hard time deciding what to read at book signings.  To which excerpt will people relate?  Which part is funny (and still a part I can tell in case they place me beside the children’s section of the store)?  Each time I do a reading, I read something new, mostly because I can never decide which bits to read.  I wish the audience of people who’ve already read the book could vote, telling me which section to read.  Last night, I read three excerpts.  First, a bit from chapter two, where I revisit my old journal entries and realize I’m embarrassed by my life, then some on Oliver and the precaution we take in life, trying to protect ourselves from our own lives, and finally, a bit about Valentine’s day and how it makes me want to shit out all my tenderness. I had fun, and I think people had fun being there.  Some readers drove in from San Antonio, and others from as far as Dallas (which is at least three hours each way)!  I’m so glad they came up to me and we had a chance to chat for a while.  It really makes what I do so special and rewarding.  So thank you to those of you who were able to make it.  If you have photos from the event, please email them to me.  Now, I must get to packing, as I move, officially tomorrow! Here are the photos I’ve received so far (thank you Deanna & Phil)…
