Deb, I did a review, but it wouldn't let me say what should be purchased with it. Right now it recommends Sunshine, which isn't really a bad choice, though not thematic or even similar in style. I did like them both. Fewer narrative problems in Weaver, though.

Ooh, hopping to read review. I am now an Author!Geek!

Good reference, Betsy. I only read the link page, but it seemed very good to me.

Deena, I may have missed a step. Your review is up but mine isn't--and it didn't offer me the options of books to choose with Weaver. Did I do something wrong?

Should I go back to Amazon and try to post it again, you think?

Beverly, if mine is up, that's new. They take a bit to review it, and they didn't offer me the opportunity of suggesting something to go with it either, so everything's probably fine.

Okay, I may have stuck my foot in it, because I posted it again. Oh well. We'll see what transpires.

I think, if you post it twice, they just delete the second one. I have to go read the review. Did you like it? I wasn't sure if I was saying enough -- they kill any review that they think tells too much.

Ah, I'm slow, but I'm stubborn. When you look on the full information page for Weaver, there's a spot somewhere in the middle of the page that says, I recommend this: and a blank for the ISDN number instead of/in addition to this book. You enter the ISDN number and click the radio button of your choice (though 'in addition to' seems to be the default).

I recommended 'in addition to' Gaiman's Neverwhere and Terry Windling's Woodwife hoping that readers who like them will pick it up. I would.

NICE review! But I don't see that recommendation for Sunshine anywhere.

I've just come back from a lovely book launch party; Meg drew an enormous crowd (about 50 people, maybe 60), the reading was the first chapter (right around 8 minutes, so I'll need to time mine), the Q&A was lively and warm, and the champagne party at their house was just right. It helped that Meg's dad kicked in a case - case, yes - of vintage Dom Perignon.

I got all the info I needed about how to do one of these things, and one thing more: the woman introducing Meg was Anny Clevens, who is regional Events Manager for Borders. Upshot of convo after the signing was that we're getting in touch first week of the new year, to book a signing/reading at Borders at Stonestown Galleria (very chichi palce here in San Francisco) first week of February.

And Karl came, looking for askye, who hadn't told him she was bailing.

Deb, it could have been on just my page, since I'd looked up Sunshine a few days ago. See my edited post above.

Also, the reading sounds like it was absolutely lovely, and tonight I saw Dan Brown as the default on "people who bought this also bought..." section.

I ought to be in bed, blast it. Okay, seriously now. I'm kicking myself up the stairs.

To bed with you, wench! Avast! Feather your timbers!

(It was very good champagne, and I only allowed myself half a fluteful)
