H...£25 per hour???? We're talking £25 per BOOK!<br />He hardly gets fed at all in Almost True and whenever someone tries to make him a proper meal everything goes awry. He has two meals - takeaway curry and Christmas dinner, and the rest of the book is all sandwiches and junk food, and very sugary tea and coffee. Oh and vodka, beer and brandy. Poor lad, I have not looked after him properly.Keren Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121027210783177857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616410914770011438.post-818030505544320052010-03-14T23:57:34.724-07:002010-03-14T23:57:34.724-07:00How exciting, can't WAIT to read it.

Good for her!<br /><br />I love how little bits of ourselves sneak their way into the text. I hadn't thought about the Jewish mother bit, but it completely makes sense.

On the other hand I'm actually quite relaxed about people reading, as long as that's OK with them - if it will then make it impossible to read and review later then don't. Would love to get feedback, and know if anyone spots hideous holes in the plot. <br />Fish - I'm slightly concerned about this washing fetish too. And the poor boy barely gets a square meal throught the entire book.<br />Leah - thanks for the lovely wishlist mention on your blog. If you email me I will see if I can rustle up a review copy for you.Keren Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13121027210783177857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616410914770011438.post-62576538245535989982010-03-14T14:59:34.950-07:002010-03-14T14:59:34.950-07:00Congrats on receiving your proofs.

I ...I was thinking about this myself the other day. I wondered why publishers would want to send out proofs so early to bloggy people like me? Is it just for a review? To think I'll be reading it before it is finished makes me feel like I'm going through someone's sock draw looking for something sinister. Obviously, I would bite your right arm off to read AT but I want you to feel ready. If I get my proof shall I read it or shall I just wait until August? I am going to buy a finished copy whether I read it early or not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14379159908572573355noreply@blogger.com
