I haven't made an author page yet and I don't do Twitter. I spend all my online time (and then some) on YLF! Why? Because it is more fun for me. I am afraid I am not very good at having a writing "career." I mean I do have a paid writing job, but that is different. For the creative stuff, I just want to write it. Which I don't get enough time to do.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I do see the value of a FB author page and maybe I will start one. Sigh.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-961306 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 02:22:34 +0000 nancylee 961306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! &nbsp;A run on Suz's book. &nbsp;That's what I hoped for...hehe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-960926 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:46:53 +0000 Diana 960926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, Suz, your book is out of stock on Amazon!&nbsp; I think we must have started a run on it.&nbsp; =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-960902 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:10:28 +0000 tarzy 960902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I'm sure you're on top of this, so forgive me if I'm telling you things you already know. Do you have a Facebook page? Twitter? Are you a member of She Writes? I know it's a lot of work to keep up with all these things, but authors really have to promote themselves these days. Luckily, there are so many avenues for doing that these days. Hopefully the YLF "bump" will help move a lot of those remaining copies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-960867 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:54:19 +0000 Anonymous 960867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, is your book published through Broadview? I drove by there yesterday by coincidence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-960553 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 02:21:06 +0000 Suz 960553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, that is funny, VC. Probably the publisher has to find them in the Peterborough warehouse. That's where they're stashed. Ceit could go raid the place and get them...</p> <p>Kristin, I have indeed read the <i>Primal Wound</i> book. But I have not read Digging to America. I've read other Ann Tyler books, though. She use do to be a favourite of Mr. Suz's.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-960467 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:12:15 +0000 velvetychocolate 960467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a heads up in case anyone else orders Suz's book - I ordered from Amazon, and normally will get my orders within a couple of days. I will get my order, but it's going to take two+ weeks to get here, according to an e-mail I got from Amazon. </p> <p>I'm thinking this is kind of neat, as I'm imagining Amazon now has to scramble to get the book for me Maybe there'll be a 'run' on this book? </p> <p>Very much looking forward to reading it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-959388 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:07:15 +0000 Kristin SF 959388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been on my To Read list. I should just order it already and get it!</p> <p>Suz, I can't recall if I ever reco'd this book to you, but it was one I read in my 20s. Really fascinating material, particularly for one who is adopted (as I was).</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Primal-Wound-Understanding-Adopted-Child/dp/0963648004/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1371596659&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=primal+wound" rel="nofollow">Primal Wound</a></p> <p>Have you read it? </p> <p>ETA: Oh - another recommendation that you might have already read: one of my favorite fiction books, from Anne Tyler: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Digging-America-Novel-Anne-Tyler/dp/034549234X/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1371596959&amp;sr=8-13&amp;keywords=anne+tyler" rel="nofollow">Digging to America</a>.

Thank you so much.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gaylene, if YLF can make my little book a bestseller, I will be forever in debt to this community for more than my fashion savvy!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But it is a tough thing to do with a book of essays. I still have not sold out my initial print run of a mere 1000 copies...and at the moment, technically speaking, I&nbsp; "owe" my publisher in royalties! (They paid my royalties in one sales&nbsp;period, and some books were subsequently returned by booksellers to the publisher.) It's all okay, though -- it was critically successful and that was what was most important to me in a first book. &nbsp; :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies/page/2#post-958282 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:03:21 +0000 Sona 958282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz sent me the book last year and it was such an incredible, powerful read that I have still not read the last two chapters. I wanted to savor the end at a later time: one of those books that you really do not want to end.</p> <p>I cannot think of complimenting a book more: this is the only book I have done this with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies#post-958254 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:46:23 +0000 Gaylene 958254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I downloaded my copy a few months back from iBooks with no problems. I think one of my colleagues just downloaded a copy from iBooks a few weeks ago.</p> <p>Do you think we can push Suz's book to the bestseller list? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-ylf-must-read-suzs-memoir-pathologies#post-958094 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:00:23 +0000 Anonymous 958094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I bought it thru Google ebooks. The bad part is that once you finish it, you cannot go back ( or so I think).

I am so honoured that you enjoyed it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I still feel a little amazed to think that anybody actually reads the thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>The book might be difficult to get electronically; I'm not sure.

I tried to find it on Amazon Kindle last night, but no luck. I will have to order the printed copy it seems.

I could not wait for my printed copy, which is still on its way to me, and I downloaded the ebook thru Google. I was blown away. There was no way I was going to put this book down. I had to finish it. I read it all in one sitting! What a beautiful, heartfelt narrative. I could identify with so many thoughts and feelings - and I think most of us could. Thank you Nancylee for starting this thread and thank you Suz for the most fantastic read I've had in a long time. I hope this is one of many more successes for you. </p> <p>And ditto to Diana...
