January Book Discussion - The Crown Conspiracy by Michael Sullivan

Chevys Fresh Mex (map)

Selected By: Jenny

Update 3: Hey everyone, just a few quick notes. According to Robin, Michael will be able to attend our meeting. So make sure you think of some really good questions to ask. Neither Elizabeth or I have any idea how this meeting was scheduled for Borders, but since that location is very small I'm going to change it to the Chevy's which is about 20 steps away from there. So no real change to location for commuting. I look forward to seeing everyone there!!

Thanks,
Jenny

Update 2 Everyone, we are going to try and arrange for the author, Michael Sullivan to attend this meetup. Please remember the RSVP rules so that those that want to attend can have an opportunity. If you want to purchase directly from the author please remember there is a link on the message board.

Thanks,
Jenny

Update 1: Thank you so much to all who voted - I was really excited to see how many votes we had. Unfortunately, I still had to break a tie; we'll put Water for Elephants back in the mix for future polls since it was so close. More details to follow. Elizabeth

Just wanted to get this on the calendar. The book will be selected via poll by Sunday. We're going to be doing it on the 4th week this month to account for the government holidays on the 19th and 20th. We don't want to be trying to get a table anywhere the weekend before inauguration.

Thanks,
Jenny

    It was great having the author there. I was a nice turn out for the discussion. We were all very interested in the next books and the author was quite fun in teasing us about what would and would not happen through the series. It was a fun inquisitive group discussing a very fun book.

    Just wanted to thank everyone for your enthusiasm at this month’s meeting. Michael and I enjoyed the interaction SO MUCH!! We’ve done this with a few groups now and I can this one was hands down the best one! (not that the others were bad – just you guys rock the most). I also wanted to thank Jenny for first taking a chance and reading Mike’s book, and then for breaking the tie so that his became a read, and also for the promotion to buy direct which is a HUGE benefit for us. I’m so glad that everyone liked it (or at least you said you did to our faces ;-p) And will setup another direct buy for Avempartha. I might even be able to get you some copies before the April 1 date. Hope to see some of you at the book signings that will be coming up for Avempatha – need to keep the “crickets at bay”. I’ll keep you posted once the final dates are released.

    I was apprehensive about discussing the book in front of the author, but it turned out really well. Mike was receptive to our comments. It was difficult to talk about a book that is part of a series without discussing the series though. Light, entertaining read. Should be interesting to see where the series goes.
