SOOOOO Pretty!
I just wanted to share with you this close-up of the FRESHLY PRINTED British version of "The Signature of All Things". The official hardcover just arrived at the Bloomsbury offices in London, and they sent me this photo. Can't wait to have it in my actual human hands (I HAVE ACTUAL HUMAN HANDS, EVERYONE!) very soon! Will send more photos at that time!
Meanwhile, I love to see how the different art departments of the different publishing houses have interpreted the design of the novel. This one strikes me as the most old-fashioned — the one most specifically designed to look like an actual 19th century novel.
And if you want to pre-order "The Signature of All Things" (British version, American version or Aussie version — with more to come!) just click right here:

Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you these photos of the books that were hidden over the weekend at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh, for lucky readers to stumble upon. You'll notice the GORGEOUS lush green cover (different from the ivory-colored American version of the novel)…and you'll also notice that (anticipating Scottish weather!) the books were bundled up in plastic bags to keep them safe…a wise touch! I am so curious to find out who found these!
Meanwhile, keep your eyes on this Facebook page, because over the next few months, we will be hiding advance copies of "The Signature of All Things" in botanical gardens across world! (To continue the botanical analogy…think of it as PLANTING A LITERARY SEED…)
All love! And thank you, Royal Botanic Gardens!

The Signature of All Things, The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh
This weekend, advance proof copies of Elizabeth Gilbert's new novel The Signature of All Things were hidden around the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, for lucky readers to find. Here are the books in a couple of their hiding spots, posted with thanks to the gardens and Cornflower book blog for their photos and posts.

I don't know what I love most about this image: The couple themselves (lovely), their message (lovely and, in my experience, absolutely true), or the BEAUTIFUL MOSSES in the background.
OK, why choose? I love all of it. It ticks all my boxes — affection, wisdom, moss.
This one is the complete package.
Big kiss,
Liz

MOVIE MONDAY…and I didn't forget!
Hi dearests…
A few years ago, people in the publishing world started talking about "book trailers" (short films made to publicize new books — not unlike movie trailers) and I was like, "Well, THAT is a terrible idea that will never take off, and which I can never imagine doing…"
So, yeah, here's my book trailer.
🙂
(EVOLVE OR DIE, PEOPLE! EVOLVE OR STAGNATE!)
But I do hope you will enjoy my book trailer for "The Signature of All Things", for it is awfully pretty and was quite fun to make, and it was filmed on location at a beautiful and crumbling 18th century estate called Woodlands (in Philadelphia) which was the actual inspiration for the estate in my novel.
So come take a walk with me, shall we?
AND IF YOU WANT TO PRE-ORDER THE BOOK, you may do so right here:

Blessings and love,
Liz

POEM OF THE DAY: "Try to Praise the Mutilated World"
by Adam Zagajewski
Try to praise the mutilated world.
Remember June’s long days,
and wild strawberries, drops of wine, the dew.
The nettles that methodically overgrow
the abandoned homesteads of exiles.
You must praise the mutilated world.
You watched the stylish yachts and ships;
one of them had a long trip ahead of it,
while salty oblivion awaited others.
You’ve seen the refugees heading nowhere,
you’ve heard the executioners sing joyfully.
You should praise the mutilated world.
Remember the moments when we were together
in a white room and the curtain fluttered.
Return in thought to the concert where music flared.
You gathered acorns in the park in autumn
and leaves eddied over the earth’s scars.
Praise the mutilated world
and the gray feather a thrush lost,
and the gentle light that strays and vanishes
and returns.
Be love today, everyone, and be praiseful —
Liz
