This is probably the best idea of the summer. I also concur with the Kara because there has been a severe literary void in my life without Oprah telling me what to read (even though I never read them because they were usually the kind of books that made me feel bad about my life). I would totes read your suggestions.

Becca recently posted..stairstotheroof: RT @elizabethesther: Listening as spiritual hospitality: To listen is very hard, because it asks of us so much… http://t.co/Qr7DB7lK

I would join, I would even buy and read your book, but since it is from Penguin Publishing and they are artificially raising the price of Kindle books, I won’t.

(You could always buy the hardback, if you like. Technically I make less money on the ebook anyway (which confuses me too) so you aren’t hurting my feelings if you skip it or just borrow a book from the library. ~ Jenny)

I am so in! Are the comments going to be on the blog or twitter?
Kristina recently posted..Too Much

Woo! Just ordered the book for my Kindle. If I remember to charge it, I will read!

I’m in for the book club but I’m also already a member of the Double Unicorn Success club. So, since I’ve already benefited from joining the club early (it’s a main point of my LinkedIn resume), are there any other benefits to the book club. You know, a Copernicus plush or a gold plated Juanita statuette? I seem to recall Jenny offering twitter followers ponies. I just want to make sure I’m on the list. I’m all about being on the list. For Jenny. Really, this is all for Jenny.

Loved the book! I laughed so hard at the rapist on the other side of the bathroom door that I cried. I passed it on to a coworker.

This means I’ll have to read the last chapter once we get there. I’ve been refusing to do so, because I don’t want the book to be over.

Oh my god. You? Reading the book? To us? Oh my god. SO IN.

wait, how come all of us in the US didn’t get that cool cover??? Can I switch out my kindle version for that one?? and, did you use Britishisms in the UK version?? Inquiring minds…

OMG I have your book and I’ve read it and I am SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS! I’ve never been in a Unicorn Success Club. This is like the best.day.ever.

Oh, I am so here. I loved the book. And the audio book. I made my husband listen to it on our road trip to San Antonio. He now understands why I love you.

Off topic, but are you planning on ever recapping your Dallas book signing? I heard quite a few shenanegens happened after I left.

hmmmm….if i have the super awesome stainless steel unicorn success club travel mug (that i carry with me everywhere) i wonder if it will magically morph into the DOUBLE UNICORN SUCCESS club if i join the book club…regardless, i cannot wait – i laughed so hard at your book intro (no spoilers, but the same thing happened to me except it was my gramma and i was 7) that i can’t freakin wait to hear you read it…YAY, this is such a great idea

I’m in too… if I can remember. Because as a fellow West Texas survivor ex-pat, I suffer from CRS caused I’m sure from years of exposure to natural gas fumes and dust.

I’M IN.

About this virtual pony – if we get one when we join, but we have to bring him/her to the book club … how do we acquire it to begin with? Is there a specified Pony Pickup Point? Or will I, by virtue of the above “I’M IN”, suddenly find myself with an imaginary pony crammed into my cubicle upon pressing Submit below?

Can’t wait to find out!
scubadivider recently posted..Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir)

Oh, but no twitter for me – I’m old and barely comprehend e-mail.

I’m in!! The book club that is. I’m not sure if I can figure out central time or itf I’ll be on an hour late or an hour early or whatever, but either way, I’m in. And I did buy the book. To my kindle though, that counts right?

I’m in! I’ll be traveling late next week, but I will be here on Tuesday!

Yay for virtual ponies (pony goodness without the cleanup!) and Yay for Double Unicorn Success Club (I desperately needed something for the “club affiliations” section you see on so many applications these days!)

I actually got your book for my Mom for Mother’s Day and told her that a specific part of your book is something that goes on in my head ALL THE TIME.

Yay for BloggessBookClub!!
MsDarkstar recently posted..Unprepared

I’m really glad you will be sharing the first section on Youtube. I so badly want to read your book but just can’t afford it (and with the rate my name is moving up the list at the library it will be Christmas before I get to turn those pages). It looks like there is going to have to be some family begging so I can get my grubby little hands on a copy of my own. (Maybe I can convince someone that my birthday was moved this year…)

Hell yeah! It’ll be awesome! My pony is Princess TwinkleSparkle. Then again, all of the animals in my house, real and stuffed, boy or girl, are named that, thanks to our daughter.

On a side note, I think I drove by your house this weekend – at least there was a house in between Kerrville and Fredericksburg that had Beyonce out by the front gate looking like she was telling everyone to just “Move on, Motherfuckers!”

I’m totally in, and I’m warning you, you’re going to have to answer for the whole “Wall is the location where Footloose took place” thing! Okay, I’ll be nice, but still. This is how I tell people about the area in which I grew up!

Loved the book almost as much as I loved the time you talked about how you made mac & cheese in individual packets for your entire family. Was that in the book or on the blog? It all blurs. But it made me feel better about the time I wanted to make cookies but didn’t have a recipe so guessed and didn’t realize there was chemistry involved and ended up with water-insoluble Lemonus Discuses that we used for Frisbies and didn’t disintegrate in an Iowa rainstorm. I’ll try to pile on when I see you chatting!

My pony, Leanord McCornmuffin will be there, with or without bells on (Leanord will be wearing the bells)

And then I’ll go back and figure out the time CONVERSION not conversation and then realize that just now, right then, I once again typed conversation first because my mind and fingers are at war and no one told my arms.

I am so excited for this! I need to start re-reading. I read it the first time in a single night, when my insomnia got the best of me. My pony, Princess Pogolita Powderpuff, and I are excited to read it during the day, like maybe normal people would.

I am reading it right now, but I have to take breaks. It makes me laugh so hard, I weep and can’t breathe. You’re actually killing me with awesome.

So count me in!

Jenny, you are my hero (I’d say heroine, but that sounds too druggy and I’m never sure how to spell it). I don’t quite know how I stumbled onto your book (it had something to do with downloading Jennifer Eagan’s book, A Visit from the Goon Squad, and Gary Shtyngart’s Stupid Absurd Love Story or whatever it’s called, and who is my male hero and who(m) by the way, I met when The Russian Debutante’s Guide Book came out. So I sampled your book on my Kindle (that rocks…you can read lots of books that way for free…)and then I HAD, HAD, to buy your book for my Kindle. I love my Kindle. (“you’re welcome, Amazon.com”). I’m up to the part with the post-it’s to your husband and loving that…also, you were beautiful in your wedding dress. I think Victor nailed that one. Is this too long? i’ve never written to a blogger before.

I will totally be there with my ponies hair braided with ribbons and sparklers I think the pony hates me

It turns out creating a fan forum is pretty easy. I’ve started a The Bloggess Fan Forum here:

Zhi Zhu recently posted..In Remembrance of Kilvarough — A Great Jousting Horse

Ooh, count me in!! I’m a bubbly extrovert, but I love pjs, beer and virtual ponies, so hopefully I’ll still be allowed in the book club. I absolutely adored your book, although the people I was sitting near on the plane while I was reading it probably didn’t appreciate the inappropriate snorting, laughing and crying!

I’m in! I have the book in Kindle form and also in signed bookplate hardvover form. Devoured it in 1 day. But what to name my pony……

me me me!! I am totally in–esp since I have to miss my “other” book club meeting next week due to a conflict. IN that book club we pick our books for the entire year during a drunken girls weekend at the beach in November. This November I intended to suggest LPTNH as my selection for 2013. I generally let the other members select the classics, historical fiction and books on wars and the holocaust. I tend to stick to stuff that causes you to snort wine out your nose (i.e. one year I suggested Bridget Jones’ Diary). so its perfect. now if I could only get the author to agree to participate in our group discussion…… ))

I’ll be here with bells and whistles! I was just thinking about how much I relate to this book (even to your childhood, oddly enough…I guess it’s a growing up in a Texan poor small town thing…although animal husbandry was never one of our approved field trips)

Can’t wait!

I’m so in, although reading your book caused repressed memories to surface. Like the time my father brought home a road kill deer on Christmas Eve and made me field dress it. We live in Wisconsin… and I just turned 7… Maybe rereading your book will bring back more crazy dad memories and I’ll write a book of my own

It sounds like fun – I have a twitter that I hardly ever use, so I suppose I should figure it out.

and remember – no tube-tops on YouTube!

I am SO in!!! Page bookmarked on my iPad. Will pick up some cheap wine at the store this weekend. Must think of pony name, but I know it’s a she and she has purple glitter hair for mane and tail!

Sweet! I didn’t know stealing the book was an option.

I will totally join the club! The book is still packed though, because I’m in the middle of moving and anything that isn’t summer clothing is in storage. But I read it through in no time flat, and whould be able to participate.

Awesome!

Then I will fling off the glasses and shake my hair down like the librarian in that old shampoo commercial, and under my cardigan, I’ll have on my “I [heart] BACON” t-shirt. And maybe I’ll even [virtually] bring enough bacon for everyone. This is going to be awesome. Sexy librarians and bacon and a great book!

Oh, yeah, and I’m in. I’ll be here with my awesome virtual pony “Tod.” Because… “Fred” seemed too banal. Tod is a little more metrosexual. And EVERYONE should have a metrosexual virtual pony. So sayeth I.

So very IN. This is very exciting, my virtual horse Sacajawea bea Arthur and I will be there with bells on. (Sacajawea and bea Arthur are two of my favorite “swear” words that I use at work) people usually don’t question you too much if you randomly shutout bea Arthur, they just back away smiling at you…works for me.

Ohhhhh yes please!!!! My pony shall be called, Frodo Fairypants!

I found your book while I was ridiculously bored at work and was immediately interested!!! I was laughing so hard all the customers were looking at me like a freak. But it was groovy and I LOVE THE BOOK!!!

Definitely in for my first book club.

I will be there but probably late because my toddler is not cool about mommy time.

I will be rushing right home from work and joining! I LOVED the book! My daughter thought I had lost my mind because I would just randomly bust out laughing! I am excited about my pony..I will love him and hug him and call him George!

IN. IN. IN.

I don’t suppose you still have any of those 10,000 autographed book plates left? My book is lonely without one.

I should probably be studying for my comprehensive exams but who am I kidding. This will be way more fun than reading accounting research and more applicable to real life. My virtual pony is named…I’ll have to get back to you on that. We accountants aren’t known for our creativity.

I will most DEFINITELY be coming (assuming something doesn’t come up) and I will be bringing my pony, Sir Speedbump.

I named my wireless internet “The Unicorn Success Club” I just know my neighbors are jealous.

I’d love to do this, but feel that there will be an overwhelming response to this, and that response (and the time difference) is scaring me away. So Jenny, if you’d ever like to come to Hawaii and do an in-person book club, I’d be happy to host you at my house and feed you (but not buy your plane tickets. I’m cheap that way).

You are so much cooler than me. Enough said.

OMG! Jenny I recently bought a Kindle Fire and you were my FIRST! …UM book. I loved it!
Funniest book I can remember reading. I wanna be in your book club.

So in… was so excited to meet you in Boston, and absolutely loved your book! I’m a fast reader but I’ll probably read it again! And my pony’s name… hmmmmm….. that’s a tough one. Pandas McSnuggles sounds good to me.

I’m still waiting for a copy to become available at the library. I would be super pissed about having to wait but that just means that there are more people lining up to read it. (or is that just more cheap bastards like me who don’t like spending money?)

I am going to be so embarrassed if I have accidently double-posted here, but embarrassment is the new normal. For me, anyway. Actually, it’s the old normal, but I’ve just stopped fighting it. I think.

To Kate W at 2:29: NO! How the heck would I find this “chatroom somewhere” that you propose?! and I made a Twitter account, but I can’t figure out how it works! So, no chatrooms, this comment stuff, at least I know how to do it.

Ooooooh can I join please? It’ll probably be Wednesday in Japan but I can still wear pyjamas and drink beer, I’ll just tell my students it’s an experiment in the human condition. Sorted!

I am SO in!!!!!! It will a tank top and Diet Coke, but still…I AM IN!!!!

Loved the book! We just finished if for my book club and I spent the whole time reading it laughing out loud! My Fiance thought I was crazy! My Grandma even loves this book! Couldn’t ask for more!

I’m in, too!

Finally a book club I can join! I can dress for success in my best PJ’s and drink from 7-8pm CST on a Tuesday – I am so in!

I will bring virtual guacamole to go with the beer. The first thinkg I am going to do is send my unicorn to St. Bernard training school. Then I will have a uni-rescue-corn! I will love him and hug him and call him George….

Me and my daughter will be there fer sure. She told me you’re her hero. You might be my hero , too. Or maybe Neil Patrick Harris – It’s a toss-up.

I’m in! PeeDeeasaurus Rex, my little pony, will be a little late since her cocktail hour ends at 8:30.

I’m buying the book tonight! I wanna be in the Unicorn Success Club too!!!! Right! When it’s 7-8 Central, what time will it be in BC? What are we, Pacific?

Im in if I can work out what time that will be in Australia …I believe vodka is a breakfast food so I have no problem with the pyjama / alcohol binge part of the proceedings at all…I have your book but I bought it for my holidays in 3 weeks….actually looks like I didn’t…:)

I want to join! I’ll have to see if I can next week, my mom is dragging me to Vegas (well, I’m not fighting it very hard), and it’s unlikely I’ll be able to break away until Wednesday, but I’d love to talk about your book with other people who’ve read it and loved it, too!

I am totally in!!! Now to figure out the time change thingy (cause I stink at that).. I’m in CA.. I read it already (devoured it truly…) but I will have to get it back from my niece and read it again!

I read it already, and now my 3rd friend is reading it. I would love to talk with you ONLINE about your book, as when I met you at the book signing in Atlanta, I went all tharn and all I could say was “I love you” and I don’t know what to say..LOL, amazing, as I usuakky talk to the world.

Your book, and your blog is awesome, it makes me smile everytime I read it. I connect with you, as I have that same dark sense of humor, love zombies and horror, hate deppression, and my on going pain, and also say the wrong things. <3

I don’t have to read your book cuz YOU read it to me!!! Audio book gotcha!!!

p.s. there is a taxidermied elephant head outside me door at work.

I’m in. And I’ve already read it twice so I should be good. The last time was like 2 weeks ago anyway. I’ve pretty much forgotten it again. (Not kidding, as of this moment, I only remember laughing).

Then again I have had half a bottle of wine already. Thank you for saving me from cocaine. I might actually get something done if you didnt! See you Tuesday.

Goody. I’m pretty sure there were plenty of things I wanted to ask you, and my own similar stories of odd things in my own childhood.

Looking forward to it! My virtual pony shall henceforth be named Aloysius (Giblets) Bufferton III. I went through the first two. Sorry. I’m a bad free virtual pony owner.

Ok so I have the book and I’ve even read (most of) it. And I want to be part of the book club but I don’t do the twitter thing. Any options for the social media inept like me?

I knew there was a reason I was waiting to read you book until I was on vacation. I’m in. My ponie’s name is Hiroshi Protagonist Duran Duran Morgan-Graham-Fox, though technically he’s a zombified winged unicorn. That’s ok, right? Also, I may invite few people over to join us. Wine slushies for all!

This sounds like my kind of book club. I can’t handle another one where a bunch of women pick intentionally obtuse novels in an effort to seem more sophisticated and then sit around feigning enjoyment while sipping overpriced wine and wishing they were at home alone with a bubble bath and their dog-eared copy of Fifty Shades of Grey.

Princess Conchita Glitterrumba & I shall attempt to attend whilst preparing the daily feast. My plan is to go with something simple that night.

I absolutely ADORED the book… so much so that I read all it while recovering from a concussion… which probably wasn’t the best course of action because concentrating on deciphering words on a page gave me more of a headache, but it was too damn funny to put down. It also made me cry a little. In a good way.

I am excited I’m in. Just read the book now will enjoy it again.

I will also join. I loved the book.

I’ve actually been looking for a book club, but I was kinda afraid they’d be reading some serious crap, and I was also concerned there would be that one a-hole in the bunch who felt the need to hog the conversation and tell you how everything in the book relates to their great Aunt Martha’s life and their pet lizard named Jeebus. I’d be honored to be in your book club, Jenny, because even if you talked about your Aunt Martha or a lizard named Jeebus, it would be entertaining.

I’m so in!

I never, ever thought I’d laugh to the point of tears over a band-aid wrapper. Cross that off the bucket list…

In!

my pony’s name is AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cuz I suck at naming things.

This is why I’m not a mother

I’m in too! My pony ran away, I’ll have to work on getting her back before Tuesday.

I will be on vacation at the beach next Tuesday with my whole family. Which means PLEASE count me in and send me some vodka! Is it 7:00 Texas time? What time is that in North Carolina? Now I’m anxious I’m going to miss it because I can’t tell time.

My unicorn doesn’t have a name yet because I’m too rattled by the whole eastern/mountain time thing…

I’m sooooo in. Your book is awesome! You’re giving me some much needed belly laughs during a health crisis that I’m having. Thank you, Jenny. If you tour anymore you must come to the Barnes and Noble in Louisville.

I’m in!

Ooooh this is so happening! I’ll be sure to bring His Royal Highness, Sir Darius Seymour Ferdinand Frankfurter-Rosenthal as he is a tremendous fan.

Any possibility you’d consider doing this as a Hangout On Air? http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/google-hangouts-on-air-broadcast-your.html

I am so so so in!!!!

Really loved your book. My friend recommended it to me and then I became suspicious that it was a thinly veiled reference to my own inappropriate usage of the words vagina and f… in most conversations. I haven’t finshed the book yet, but have already recommended it to 3 different people. I don’t make a habit of recommending a book until I’ve finished it because the ending may suck so bad that I regret ever having read it (The Horse Whisperer). However, even if the end of your book sucks (I’m on page 175), the preceeding pages have been so amazingly funny!

Fun! I read the whole book in May, but I’ve already been thinking about re-reading it since I wound up suggesting it as the summer book for my work bookclub afterward.

What, no endorsement blurb from Mr. Wheaton?

Yes, I’m in. I’ll bring cookies.

I have “the Twitter” but I really don’t know how to use it. So thanks for having the option to do this via comments too! I will mark this event on my calendar, in pen!

It’s in my online shopping cart and just waiting for pay day!

About half way through your book. I never read your blog before. The book is HYSTERICAL and wonderful. Thank you… just love it. Don’t exactly remember how I can across it, but OMG hilarious!

Hi Jenny,

I Just thought you should know that I love your blog so much that I actually *bought* your book. Like, no shit, legit walked into an actual bookstore, and paid cover price (in dollars, no less. They were entirely disinclined to barter me for the empty beer cans, fresh baked croissants, or old – but still usable! – shotgun shells rolling around my car (full disclosure – I’m a Texan with a French mom; I admit, it creates a rather…eclectic…range of interest)). Anyway, I’ve gotten entirely distracted from my main point, which was that I gave you real legit American money for your book. Which I *never* do. Cause I’m a poor student, who justifies my literary online piracy on the grounds that I’m broke, a student, and it’s intellectually stimulating. (except that I guess that excuse doesn’t work anymore, because I have a job now, I just graduated, and most of what I read is shitty scifi and fantasy).

Whatever. The POINT is that I gave you money.* Because even though I don’t know you, I apparently love you.

~David

*Wow. I think I actually just made you sound like a prostitute, and not a friend.**

**Oh well. All my coolest friends are prostitutes anyway.

Oh, I am so in for #BloggessBookClub! I’ll bring my pony, Catherine the Great. Make sure there’s plenty of virtual hay for her.
Also, I’ve just finished your book but I’ve got such a terrible memory I can read it again from the beginning and it’ll all seem brand new like you’ve just published the sequel. Hint hint.

Love this book and love the idea of a book club! You are amazing and make me Furiously Happy Jenny Lawson!

We’re in! My daughter Moira read it to me on our recent 1,000 mile drive to Vermont for vacation — and then again on the way back. This book rocks, and it made a horrendous traffic jam in Cleveland … well it didn’t help the traffic jam at all, but at least I comforted myself with the knowledge that I have never had a dead deer sweater.

Me too, me too!
This might be the biggest book club EVAR, and i am already laughing at the comments for the Big Metal Chicken (aka Beyonce) even though we haven’t even started yet. Because, you know they’re going to be awesome.
where do I pick up my pony, and how can I hide it from my husband?

I scored the.last.copy. at my local B&N today just so I could join. I shall be the one snuggled up on the couch in my jammies with a daiquiri and a couple of cats. Ponies don’t belong on couches. Chuck will be blissfully unaware of the book club while grazing. After all, he is a clueless trophy-horse.

I am totally in!!! I read your book and loved it! I read most of it on a plane. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. The part with the swim diaper really got me. I am pretty sure that some of the people around me thought I might have been very, very upset about something until my husband told them I was fine-it’s just a book she is reading. Can’t wait!

Jenny, I allowed my boss to read on the plane to a big deal conference. We entertained fellow riders, or annoyed depending on asshole qualities, so much that we were recognized at the hotel by someone who heard us laughing. I can’t wait!
Karen Sanders recently posted..Merrell’s Are Not Acceptable Bike Wear and Other Observations

Well, I knew that sooner or later something would force me onto Twitter, although I’ve effortlessly ingnored up to now. There must be a planetary aspect hanging over my head for the last few weeks since it was only a few days ago that I broke down and joined Facebook after my weight loss support group threatened my further delays and excuses with dire consquences. However, the chance to interact with Jenny Lawson and her other fans about her book is totally awesome and nothing at all like being requested, by someone I absolutely loathe, to be friends–sans irony and sans sanity. So technology wins but so do I!

oooh, I’m in! Looking forward to Tuesday!
Theresa recently posted..What A Week!

I am in! I just got your book this weekend at Powell’s in Portland and read it aloud to my husband on a two hour drive until my voice gave out because it was easier than stopping to reread sections because he was getting mad at me for laughing so hard.
bunnyface recently posted..Sephora! Stop Your Lies!

I’m in. Gave four copies of your book away in a contest on my blog, bought a fifth for myself. So I’m in.

As long as I don’t have to take a bath in a bathtub full of racoons.
Pish Posh recently posted..Making My Way to the Mountain

sparklepants?? You totally stole my pony’s name but I’m still in. Saw your book in an airport book store and am certain I would have been responsible for an incident on the plane involving some sort of cheap plastic restraint had I bought it and read right then. Haven’t laughed out loud like this in a long time I will follow you to the light, the bookstore., the bookclub, the liquor store…..

So…ummmm…yeah…I did finally start the book. I’m the one who is afraid to start books because I get really sad about needing to finish them…like sad because they are over and I will miss them.

Fake wood paneling.

I cannot wait for this book club to start. It will be like a support group for me when we are done with the book. People won’t mind if I get weepy, right?

Hi Jenny,
I apologize in advance for asking this here, I just don’t know where else to reach you.
Anyway… I’ve had this question eating me up that because I live in Massachusetts nobody has been able to answer in the last 10 years. Reading your book (actually listening) I figured you might be able to answer or at least ask around for me. Here it goes: “How can a state be against abortion AND for death penalty at the same time?”
anxiously,
Heidi
PS: my name is not Heidi (I just like it better), but the e-mail is the good one, not the junk one.

(You’d have to ask a Republican. ~ Jenny)

i wanna play, too!
and, yay ~ i’ve always wanted a pony.
the book was fabulous.
i laughed so loud my family sent me to my room.
and yay ~ i’ve always wanted to be sent to my room.
i will call my pony Biden because well Virtual Poney = VP = well, that’s pretty much it.

I love the book! It brought me out of a bout of depression that I was going through back in April… Count me in! I’ll even wear my ‘Heroin Kitties’ shirt that I bought from your store…

Damn it I just loaned it to the third person yesterday. After reading it twice myself.
LadyV recently posted..Maniacally rubbing my kitchen counters

I’m in. Love you and loving the book too <3

Jenny, After reading your book I’ve come to the conclusion that you are me in 5-10 years (or I am you 5-10 years ago. I don’t know how it works). Anyway… I haven’t decided if this is a good thing because there are people like me out there or if it’s a bad thing because I just realized that I am bat shit crazy. Therefore I am goin to start reading your blog so that I can find out what my future holds. And I’m in for the bookclub… The end.

I’m so in! Can’t wait!!!

Please allow me to join the book club!

I have read the book twice, bought 4 copies of it and given away 3 of those copies so I would Love to be involved!!

Loved the book so much I bought one for a friend.

I want in! And for the 1st time I want twitter also. Except I don’t really know how that shit works

I’m in!

I’m in

Umm, so let me get this straight. Next Tuesday night we come Here and scroll aaaalll the way down to post a comment, then refresh the page repeatedly, like Truly insane people (scrolling aaaalll the way down each time to see if Jenny has spoken to us yet again/see the convo/post another comment which will inevitably be “old news” and I’ll never find your response after I refresh again in the sea of ever-continuing comments) to “have a conversation” that’s only somewhat close to real-time if you…are on a different universe where you have über-quick and genius capabilities? I’ll pass…beyond cumbersome. Especially from my internet source?(iPhone), but have fun! Too bad they couldn’t put a chat room (in a format that would be accessible by mobile users too–which does exist) on this page for you. ???? Know you’ve got connections. Why not work them?

(I’m checking on that possibility but it doesn’t look super easy. Still working on it though. ~ Jenny)

@Heidi @Jenny here’s a conservative to the rescue to provide the obvious answer to your question. Abortion=an innocent BABY being KILLED; death penalty=for a cruel dangerous person.
And I’m not inviting discussion on the matter. A question was asked and I simply an providing the answer. Once again Jenny I suggest you stay away from commenting/advocating on political issues and therefore becoming a divisive (and derisive, to many) figure. It will hurt you more than it will help you, I can promise you that…you’ll so Very seriously and deeply put off many fans, to the point that they will no longer Be fans nor even want to See your name again. You’re an escape for us. Introduce your political opinions (and therefore anger many) and you’re no longer going to be that for us.
With loving concern,
Colleen

Sooooo, I’m a little behind – is the chat on the book going to be here or on GoodReads?

ok i’m not joining a club, i’m in too many clubs already, introvert club, rv lovin club, Christianity, simple living, veganism, curmudgeons anonymous, ok, what the hell is another club among all these clubs?
Elaine- recently posted..pretty flowers

I would like to join. I have always wanted to be part of a bookclub, but it’s too much commitment and I feel like this one won’t be. …not because I am not loyal or committed. I don’t know. By the way, about a month ago I told my students I bought them all free ponies and they were waiting for them on the playground. They didn’t totally fall for it, but you could see in there cute little eyes that they wanted to.

I already have the version sold in America, but after seeing the UK version, now I think that America definitely needs more WHIMSY! And glitter. But hasn’t that always been the case? I suppose this is why we have you.

Still, why didn’t they give those of us stuck here in America a cover with more Whimsy AND Glitter?!?? Did they think we’d all squee from the excitement, rise up and make you Queen?!?! You’re already the Czar! WTF, publishers?! Trust Americans with the WHIMSY!

Stephenie Stone recently posted..Go the F**k to Sleep feat. Samuel L. Jackson

Just finished your book this morning Jenny. I think there’s a very serious possibilty I may have strained my bladder sphincter from trying not to pee myself I laughed so hard (squeezing out two small people is not great for the old bladder control!). I’ve been reading parts out to my other half which I have to say is proving time consuming. You can’t really begin quoting from a book with the sentence “I’m totally pro-same-sex-licking” without then having to fill in the back story. I could barely breathe trying to get through filling him on on pirate pugs. I’ve concluded he’ll have to stop being a lazy fucker and just read the god damn book himself!

Thank you for a great read!
