Post Gillian Flynn Haze

We had a very successful night with a full house at the BPL.  We will have the video of Flynn's Q&A up soon, but everyone thought it went well, including the author herself.

I am happy to report that she is very nice and funny.  She was more than gracious answering questions from me (which she had a chance to preview) and random questions from the audience.  And then this morning, I opened my Google Reader to this news-- Gillian Flynn Inks a Movie Deal for Gone Girl.

She talked a bit in our Q&A about the movie version of Dark Places (in production) and Sharp Objects (rights sold).

As I am recovering from the weeks of preparation and have another meeting today, but here are a few other things I wanted to pass on:

• In this past trending post I talked about Steampunk, here is an essay by a fan describing why she likes the genre.
• The Last Policeman by Ben Winters is a book I am very excited to read.  Here is a review.
• Tomorrow the Eisner Awards will be announced at Comic Con.
