The book was magnificent! I cannot wait to discuss it. And I'm praying that one day, there will be a movie--this book certainly deserves one!
Speaking of discussion, my teacher logistical instincts are tingling. When I signed up, I noticed that 160 people had already signed up. That's great, but it does make me wonder how you will manage a discussion with that many people. Of course, many of them might just be there to look around and/or celebrate, but even a quarter of them wanting to speak would be well beyond the size of an average high school class (or college class, unless it's one of those big lecture classes).
The academic version of Zoom has a hand-raise function that can be used. Is that also a mechanism available to you? That would make it easier. We can also just raise our hands, but can you see everybody if that many are present?
Maybe you've already thought of this, but if not, it might be wise to see what options you have. (Never have seen Zoom from the hosting end, I have no idea.)
thanks for looking into that, Bill! I had not thought of it... I tend to just jump into these things and wing it, haha. So thank you for that! The handraising function is very smart, because you're right, I won't be able to see all the rectangles of your beautiful faces with so many signed up. This is going to be SO FUN!
Hi Evelyn! Excited for your launch of this beautiful much-needed book in our world right now and I'd love to attend your special book club party but I am in Spain, so time zone snafu! I will catch it on replay later. Congratulations. I can't wait to hear the inside story on how you managed this complex narrative!

Regarding my earlier comment, I found something on hand raising in Zoom. Assuming it's still current, it should solve the problem of managing such a large group. https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0068290

Thank you so much, Amy! I'm glad you'll be able to celebrate with us on a slight delay with the recording!
Can't wait!!
So excited!!
Congratulations--and such a beautiful and captivating book title! I look forward to reading the book and to learning more at the book launch.
Thank you so much, Marisa! Can’t wait to see you at the party!
I’ve already preordered from Barnes & Noble…would you have time to sign the book if I brought it in-person?
Yes! Bring the book to either of my in-person events and I’m happy to sign for you!
Can’t wait for the UK Audible release. 🫶🏻🤞🏻🤩
Which apparently is also 12 August!
WOOHOO!!
