First, I am happy to announce the date for the September EDIWTB online book club for Run by Ann Patchett. It will take place here on this blog on Thursday, September 25. I will post a review and then anyone who would like to participate in the discussion can post a review in the comments field, or comment on someone else's review. I look forward to the discussion!
Second, I am happy to feature a guest post from my friend Jennifer at Book Club Girl about an upcoming live discussion with Ann Patchett which will take place the day before the EDIWTB book club. Here's the post:
Hello EDIWTB readers! I know that this month some of you are reading Ann Patchett's Run just as we are over at Book Club Girl. I wanted to extend an invitation to all of you to participate in the live Book Club Girl On Air online radio show discussion with Ann on Wednesday September 24 at 7pm EST. Each month my readers and I talk with a different author about their book and the discussions have been terrific. You can also listen to last month's discussion with Debra Dean, author of The Madonnas of Leningrad and July's discussion with Victoria Lustbader, author of Stone Creek.
Sign up for a reminder for the show with Ann Patchett here, and return to the same link that night to listen to the show. You can call in during the show and talk directly to Ann at (347) 945-6149. Or, you can send questions in via the chat board on the site. If you plan to send questions via chat, I recommend you register on the Blog Talk Radio site prior to the show. Ann and I would love to hear from you on the 24th! Please feel free to email me at bookclubgirl AT gmail DOT com with any questions!
I hate that one of my book groups meets on the night of this show every month!
I will try to think up a good question for Ann, although I read the book when it first came out...does it have to be related to this particular book--or can it be a personal question about her writing in general?

Kiki - I don't know what the parameters are for the radio show. You might email Jennifer at bookclubgirlATgmailDOTcom an ask her. Sorry I can't help! Gayle
