It’s been a while since I last attended a reading. In fact, I don’t think I’ve attended one since Roddy Doyle shared a few passages from The Dead Republic, which was so long ago (two years) the book he read from was the old-fashioned kind. You know…made from trees.
But these are different times. Vancouver author Jacquie Somerville (on the right) will soon be releasing My Fat Little Rule Book as an ebook (how techtastic!) and she threw a party in a penthouse suite at the Hotel Georgia to celebrate.
Chic, non? Not unlike her dress, which Roddy Doyle could never pull off.
Clockwise from the top left: my just-back-from-NYC friend Laura, PR pro Lisa Kwong, and fashionistas Alicia Quan, Melissa Knight and Jen Pistor.

P.S. Join the party — follow @TheAnthology on Twitter!

I’ve never been to a book launch party before. It looks like a lot of fun. xx
It was a lovely evening and so good to see you.
Hope to see you again soon!
