I Need My Girl
The National — Trouble Will Find Me
I Need My Girl | The National | Trouble Will Find Me, 2013
Check out the full cover & new summary for WHAT GOES AROUND, the Cracked Up to Be & Some Girls Are bind-up that comes out this September—just in time for the new school season! I may be biased, but I think it would make a very… memorable back to school gift.
I’ve started carrying a notebook everywhere to write down ideas and thoughts and inspiration when they strike for my novel or future novels except I use this thing so hastily that occasionally I will flip through it and come across something like this and I can’t even remember what I meant it for and then I start to wonder if it’s a subconscious cry for help (maybe?) OR if I’m haunted by a ghost and a ghost wrote it (I HOPE).

Hey Courtney! This is kind of in relation to the book signing question, but I live in Ontario and do you do any book signings here? (: . I love your books!
A
Hi! Sometimes! I was just in Oshawa with Megan Crewe, Maureen McGowan and Cheryl Rainfield earlier this month. I’m hoping to do more signings and events when All the Rage comes out—at least this is my goal. (& I really have no excuses not to, because I’m in Ontario too and meeting readers is great!) Hopefully one day we will cross paths. In the mean time, thank you for reading my books! I’m so glad to hear you like them. :)

Hi Courtney, I'm a huge fan and I was wondering if you would ever consider doing book signings/a book tour in Europe, mainly in the UK? I'm a big fan and it's sucks to think that I might never get the chance to meet you or anything like that because you're all the way in Canada and I'm here in the UK.
A
Hi! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. That’s incredibly nice. The opportunity to tour the UK hasn’t presented itself to me, but who knows—maybe one day! Should it happen, I hope we get to meet! :) (Let us never say never!)
Thanks for asking.

Let me just say, you are an amazing writer and I hope someday I will have half as much talent as you do. I just wanted to ask, do you listen to Rilo Kiley? Because I have found that your writing and their songs mesh very well together. I listened to Ripchord on repeat while reading TINAT and I swear it changed me :)
A
Thank you so much! That’s a very generous thing to say and it means a lot to me. (& If that compliment means you write too, I wish you all the best with it!) I do listen to Rilo Kiley! I love their stuff so much. I had to go listen to Ripchord again after I saw this message and I can see how it would suit TINAT—I’m so glad pairing it with your read added to the experience. Thank you for telling me. :)
My favourite stories are the ones that make you wish so bad they’d ended differently but deep down inside you know it really couldn’t have gone any other way.

Thanks for asking! (And for wanting one!)

I love your animals in trees and things your mum and sister say tweets on twitter. Also could you post more pictures of the degue?
A
I’m glad to hear this! Thank you.
Here is a picture! Maybe it is of the degu!
(It is.)
(Also here is my twitter in case you happened upon this tumblr post and want to know where you too, can find such tweets!)
