THE EVENING COUNTDOWN CONTINUES!

Only 3 more days until "The Signature of All Things" is published!!!

"And 3, of course, is the number representing supreme balance, as anyone who has ever studied either the Holy Trinity or a simple barstool can plainly see."
—Eat, Pray, Love (Quoted, by the way, with the author's permission.)

Three is my favorite number. Always has been. For your entertainment tonight, I offer not only this amazing virtual cake celebrating the number 3, but also these 3 virtually amazing quotes from various early review of The Signature of All Things":

“Gilbert has written the novel of a lifetime.”
—O Magazine

“Gilbert has established herself as a straight-up storyteller who dares us into adventures of worldly discovery, and this novel stands as a winning next act. The Signature of All Things is a bracing homage to the many natures of genius and the inevitable progress of ideas, in a world that reveals its best truths to uncommonly patient minds.”
— The New York Times Book Review, Barbara Kingsolver

“This book is full of turns of phrase that manage to be both fresh and evoke an antique period…It is gorgeously detailed, robustly filled with the elements of bygone times. "The Signature of All Things is a captivating novel, the kind in which intellect, imagination and language conspire to create a blissful diversion. I read all 499 pages in a day…The Signature of All Things shows what fiction can do at its finest, blowing other literary genres out of the water.”
—Newsday

Holy shit, you guys. Holy shit. I'll say it three times: HOLY SHIT. (Yes, your friendly novelist, apparently, has no words except "Holy Shit". CLASSY, I know. But these reviews are blowing my mind!)

Anyhow, wanna read it? You can order it here, my lovelies:

You know who's really good at this? My husband. I don't think I've ever met anybody who rolls with change more easily than that guy. Change simply does not undo him. As he said to me the other day when I was fretting about a big transformation that's going on in our lives right now, "Darling! Don't give it another thought. It's just a change of plans — and change is very best thing in the world, because it's proof you're still alive."

So here's a toast to all the plot twists — planned and unplanned — that make our lives REAL. May we all learn to roll with it gracefully…

Hang in there, everyone.

THE EVENING COUNTDOWN CONTINUES…

Only 4 more days until "The Signature of All Things" is published!

Please note that this celebratory cake, my friends, has a lizard on it. And trains! And a snake. Just saying. It's pretty awesome. Reptiles and public transportation being two of my favorite themes in the baked goods department. If I were a four-year-old kid (named Russell, for instance) this cake would pretty much blow my mind.

4 days, guys! That's nothing! That's like a long weekend, plus one more day! So…imagine a long weekend and a snow day, combined! That's what we're talking about here!

Pre-order now, and they'll have the novel arrive on your doorstep on Tuesday. (Or so they promise…I don't know — does that really work? Worth a try, maybe? You can click here and give it an attempt, anyhow):

You know what else takes 4 days? To bake a cake covered with lizards.

I'm delirious. Going to bed now. Pretty much thrilled.
