    Just so you know, the name Roisin is pronounced 'roh-sheen'! it is an Irish name so the phonetics are different to English. Also, the authors name, Mhairi, is pronounced 'vah-ree', it is a Scottish name. The 'mh' makes a 'v' sound in Scots Gaelic(and sometimes in Irish Gaelic as well!)

    the way you say H is so satisfying haha. i loved this video, felt like i was walking around with you matching my energy. Fly Away is not necessary reading IMO like Firefly Lane, but i didn't HATE it as i enjoyed having extra time with the characters. it was just kind of like some extra epiloguey stuff but it did get very dark yet weirdly cheesy at times. i think its a very individual preference, i can see how some people didn't like it.

    What a coincidence. I was in New York City just this past weekend myself, but I live in Washington, DC, so I do this trip once or twice a year. Anyway, I was also at the Union Square Barnes and Noble and The Strand. I picked up one book at The Strand. (I was there back in March and bought a few others then.) And, I picked up three books at Barnes and Noble. I also bought one book at McNally Jackson. It's fun watching someone else cover the same steps around the same time. When you were in B&N, asking where the fiction was or where the romance was, I said go up the escalator to the 4th floor or look behind you to your video. Apparently, you heard me.;-) Hope you had a good time.

    This probably happens in Australia too, but in the US a lot of times bookstores around the area that the author lives in will have books by the author signed because the author can just come by and sign their stock a lot easier. And I’m not sure where in New York Maureen Johnson lives, but I know she lives somewhere in New York.
