Don’t Forget the Reading Group . . .

by Jenny Crusie | Contests | July 11th, 2007 |

Don’t forget, on July 15, we’re going to be over on the Cherry Forums doing a book club/reading group on The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes for two weeks. And of course, we’re running that contest, with three character hats as prizes. The third and last one is Mare’s, in blues like the night sky she loves and the darkness inside her, brimmed with her sparkly blue magic, and decorated with silver stars and silver spirals and a blue organza frill from her Corpse Bride dress:

And here are better (I think) pictures of Lizzie’s and Dee’s hats. I’m still getting the hang of photographing hats.

    Oh Jenny - you’ve totally outdone yourself with these. I can’t even say how beautiful they are - there are just no words.
    We’ll be there at the CF Reading Group.
    On Sunday.
    July 15th.
    To answer questions and enter contests.

    This is just like LTD last year, with the talking points. :)

    So, do you wear those wigs? Got any pics??? I like Dee’s best. It would go with my “red” hair really well. Hint. No? Well, it was worth a try. ;+) Heh. I had to beat OH to it.

    They are all awesome-but Lizzie’s is just incredible! I’m off to explore the Cherry Forums, which I haven’t really done much of before because it seemed complicated but for a chance of winning that hat, I’m there!

    I love all of them but since I feel kind of Lizzie-ish I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

    I suspect Xan doesn’t want the book discussed, hence the “accident” about the Cherry Forums site.

    There must be magic afoot. Cherry Forums is down!

    Some kind of programing glitch overloaded the site so the server shut us down. Don’t know what it is, but of the two people we know who konw how to fix it, one is on a road trip and out of computer reach and the other is visiting his in-laws in Poland.

    I know, I know.

    Uh, Jenny? I can’t get into jennycrusie.com either. Is this a problem for anyone else, or is it just me you don’t like?

  9. McB July 13th, 2007 2:21 pm

    Never mind.

    I’m rereading TUMF in preparation. First read I was too hungry; now I can savour.

    McB, it must be just you. Sorry.

  11. Mary the CB July 13th, 2007 9:42 pm

    pssst… McB… I had that same problem too. Could access the Argh blog, but not the jennycrusie.com site.

    Please. The Forums are enough of a nightmare right now. PRETEND you can get to the website.

    Although as God is my witness, I’ve been able to get there every time I’ve tried. Hitting refresh and everything.

    The good news is that Mollie is moving everything to the same server so that now when one of them goes down, they’ll ALL go down. Less confusing that way.

    @#$%^&* forums server. Should be up by tomorrow with a temporary site design. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    The jennycrusie.com site is working again! I swear it wasn’t working before, though the blog was. (I didn’t refresh, but I did reboot, which should have worked.)
    A lot of websites have been having problems today. I don’t think it’s personal.
    Probably.

    I couldn’t get to jennycrusie.com Friday morning either but all seemed to be better by the afternoon.
