Just bought two tickets. (Don't be mad at me Story Clubbers! Can I help it that I live in Los Angeles??) George, I hope I get to say hello, although I'm guessing you'll be surrounded. Maybe you could tug on an earlobe or something as a secret message, like Carol Burnett. Looking forward!
Amazing! I just bought a ticket! Thanks for letting us know (and for the discount).
Will story club members be sitting together? I’ll be heading to the small world bookstore in Venice around noon, both to honor the event and bc it’s one of my favorite places!
