Ryan Gosling is better cast as Ryland Grace than Matt Damon was as Mark Watney in Andy Weir’s earlier book-then-movie, The Martian.

Hope that we can see something else in print from Andy soon. His books have all been real standouts. One of the greats!

He’s in Seattle! Looking forward to hearing him speak.

Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday in Seattle!

Cool—hope to see you in November, Peter!

Do you remember the Seattle area Random House rep from Booktopia? I’m still in touch with her & bet she’d be happy to share Seattle bookstore intel.

We love: Ridgecrest Books (newish, small), Phinney Books (small), Third Place Books (big), Island Books

You made many Booktopians huge fans that day, including me! Really enjoyed sharing a drink with you after. Sorry I had to cut our conversation short. If you ever get up to the Seattle area, would be happy to buy you a quality beverage again. 🥃

Get Marta to read it with me, Kristy! I bet she would like it.
