The cover of Lara's upcoming latest DS novel was revealed today. Lara does signed copies of her books through the post, doesn't she? Anyone know if she does that internationally? I'd love a signed matching set of them. Not read any yet. Its a bit unclear. On her site the part about signed copies and dedications asks for money orders only to be sent direct to Lara wheras below is a bit, that DOES have Paypal, but that section doesn't mention signatures and I see nothing about shipping abroad. I'm sure an email would clear it up.

I think Lachele is aging backwards. Seems to be a secret these DS ladies share, how not too age..KLS and Lara look the same now as they do in the DVD interviews I'm watching from decades ago. I suspect witchcraft.

I'm wondering who that would describe Buzz maybe? Willie Loomis? Bet Roger loves a bit of whizz on the weekends. I don't think drugs are an issue for the Collins. Would only distract from the prodigious sherry intake

I was about to say that you know Julia's magic bag of never-ending sedatives was put to the test whenever she left it on her way into town, the Old House, back in time, parallel time, etc.

Thanks SO much for that.
I'll do that very thing! (I might wait until I see if I can make it to the Festival... but if I can't - I'll DEFINITELY do that.) x

I was at a conference for work a few weeks ago and, milling around the vendors' showcase, found myself near a woman whose name tag said 'Amy Jennings'. Only my sense of professional decorum kept me from saying something very nerdy.

Her first reaction was "Awh. Why didn't he say hello to me?" And then "Oh. I see."
Gawd luv 'er.

Wow! Didn't know Wally/'Cody' has a role in this film--it's going to be a blockbuster, considering it's in the Harry Potter universe. I think it has "HUGE success" built in!

Rowling's marvellous! I got my English 1st degree on the basis of my dissertation: The Function and Etymology of Proper Nouns in the Work of J K Rowling.
Which may suggest that either degrees aren't worth their money these days or that I need to step away from the OED.

I agree re: Rowling. It may not be great literature, but I think any author that gets children READING thousand page novels is a genius. My hat is off to her.

You both seem to be rebutting a point I didn't make. Note I didn't say or imply anything about her work or ability at all I won't elaborate here but my issue is nothing to do with her work and all to do with her as a person based on more than one interaction. Certainly a Slytherin
