and read every one of the Armand Gamache series in order. Can't wait for the new one!

I also told my friend to read "Trick of the Light" (the one I read first), and now she's going back reading them in order. She emails me about how much she is enjoying them, and sometimes to ask a question or two about the characters.

She hasn't been at the award ceremonies to accept, but she always writes an amusing acceptance speech for her publicist to read.

She (Louise Penney) thanks and talks about said publicist in the speech ("who, by the way, is single" or "who is probably getting tired of reading these&quot which she (the publicist) always reads with a faintly horrified air
