In reply to Katie @ Doing Dewey. Katie: Hannah Kent was very impressive in person! Apparently her next book has to do with superstitions. At least that's what she said.

Oh, what a cool experience! I’d especially have loved to hear from Kent, since I really enjoyed Burial Rites 🙂

In reply to Kristen. Yeah Kristen, I can see where Just Kids wouldn't be for everyone. I'm glad though you really liked Burial Rites. Thanks for stopping by my site and your comments.

Wordfest sounds rally cool. Lots of wonderful authors! I didn’t much like Just Kids myself but I hope you do. I did quite enjoy Little Princes (and follow Conor on Faecbook where he posts updates on the kids from the book as well as their ongoing rescues). And I was blown away by Burial Rites.

In reply to Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness). It's a bit hard to say if you would really like it -- as a familiarity with Patti Smith is probably best. But it does paint an interesting picture of New York, and her special bond with Mapplethorpe, and how they held on to become artists despite having no money for many years. It is sort of a neat book, her sensibility an all.

In reply to Michelle. It appears Nick Cutter's next novel Little Heaven comes out in 2016! Which of his books do you like the best?? Yeah Wordfest is always fun and interesting.

I almost picked up Just Kids when I did some impromptu book shopping last weekend — now I’m disappointed that I didn’t! I thought maybe since I’m not familiar with her work I wouldn’t get into it, but it sounds like maybe that’s not the case.

Does Nick Cutter have a new book coming out soon?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Please?

Wordfest sounds amazing. I wish my town had a book festival like that!
