Nothing but Ghosts Reading/Boston Globe Review/The Book Chat
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Tonight I have the great privilege of joining My Friend Amy, her friends, and perhaps you?, for a live book chat at 9 PM EST/6 PM PST.
In preparation for that chat, Amy asked if I might do a reading from the book. I chose to read from a section that takes place in Cascais, Portugal—a storybook world that I visited eight years ago. The music here is from the extraordinarily talented Jordan O'Connor. The photos were taken before I owned a digital camera. The piece is two minutes long.
I was further blessed yesterday by the news that Nothing but Ghosts had been embraced by the Boston Globe, in a Liz Rosenberg review titled "Where the coolest kids are, like, undead." This morning I was honored by this review by Charlotte, who always reads with care and purpose.
Please join us this evening.

This sounds amazing- I will totally shout you out at my place in the next few days!!!
As a teacher AND a mother, we are always looking for new books for the kids. And, as a motherless daughter, I applaud this theme.

Congratulations!
Oh, no! I have something at that time tonight!
Your narration is wonderful. I'll try and pop in the chat if I can!
This is just terrific! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful section of the text with your photos, Beth.
Thank you for tonight! You were very generous with your time and thoughts. I wish I could have "chatted" more, but really enjoyed reading as I worked.
I listened to that, Beth and I'm not eloquent, I'm visceral. I finished listening to that and I said a very loud and resonant Fuuuuu**! And I felt it too. Wow. Wonderful you.
Hi Beth, I just finished your book, Nothing But Ghosts and have posted my review.
Thank you for a great read and thank you for the live chat on My Friend Amy's book blog. That was a lot of fun and it was great to chat with you a bit.
Happy 4th and know that I will be looking for other books by you and already have added to my wish list.
