Sadie Mae is just fine; news about Adriana Trigiani

Sadie Mae is absolutely back to normal--bossing around the two Labs, Winchester and Remington, who have finally lost interest in her. Whew! She does her turbo runs around the lawn, ears flying back, zipping and zapping, as Remington, the Lab puppy, tries to catch up with her. She's too fast for him now that she's recovered.

Our Franklin County Library Book Club, newly formed, is discussing Adriana Trigiani's latest book, Home to Big Stone Gap. I e-mailed Adriana, who wanted to visit with our club by phone if possible, on the date we discuss her book. But it won't work out unfortunately. Adriana is off to the UK, then briefly to Virginia for a fundraising event in Abingdon, then to Florida, all part of her book tour.

She is, however, sending us a DVD that we can play at our March meeting. She's shown in her NY apartment, at a local restaurant, and other sites in NYC while she discusses each of her books! She provides this DVD to any book club planning to discuss her book(s). Visiting her site, www.adrianatrigiani.com, it's possible to view a trailer of the DVD.

I loved her book, and especially was taken with the cover art. It's absolutely frame-able (if that's a word. If it isn't, Becky will let me know.)

And Becky, thanks for the plug in Prime Living!
