I am excited to hear about her next book…it sounds great! And how interesting that she was denied as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune…I didn’t know they did that!

It was great to learn about her next book.
I really enjoyed this chat, especially the part about how she loved “In Her Shoes,” by Jennifer Weiner. I loved that book, too.

From the interview with the author, I learned that she was rejected as a competitor for the Wheel of Fortune but didn’t know why. This is really interesting to me because my cousin applied for Jeopardy and was rejected because he was too tall!

My hubby too was rejected from being a contestant on wheel of fortune and only got one chance to call out a letter. Awwww.
I liked the conversation about the acknowledgments!

I loved hearing about her new book, Skipping a Beat. It sounds great!

i enjoyed hearing of why she offered such a generous contest to bloggers
This was a terrific chat you had with Sarah Pekannen, thank you to both of you! I enjoyed several things about your chat including that Sarah takes her coffee the same way I do….& it’s delicious like dessert as Sarah said! I am thrilled to findout that she is writing another book! And I also loved finding out that she is great at puzzles and almost got on Wheel of Fortune! Personally, I think she was too smart for them! lol I think Sarah sounds like a very nice person and it’s great that you had the opportunity to meet her, Sheila.
Please enter me in this great giveaway!

I enjoyed Sarah’s comment “Like a dessert” in reference to how she takes her coffee. I’ve been on her website before with the candy bars and donuts, so I’m not suprised. She is to cute! I loved the book! Since my hometown is the DC area, I enjoyed the references she made to certain areas I remember going to.

I had already friended Sarah on Facebook when I bought her book the day it came out. She graciously accepted my friendship.
What a great author chat! I really enjoyed hearing about the birth of the contest you won, how she goes about refining her story (changing the amt of sisters) and I’m really excited to hear about her next novel! Thanks for the chance to win Opposite Of Me, I can’t wait to read it.

After reading your chat with Sarah, now I really want to
read her story about the fraternal twins (my mom was
a triplet), and her acknowledgment…
Many thanks, Cindi

Thanks very much…Cindi
I was really surprised to read how much she liked “In Her Shoes”–I was so disappointed with that one! Maybe if I hadn’t seen the movie first, I would have liked the book better because they were really a lot different.
I’m follower!
I loved her little known fact about how she didn’t make it onto Wheel of Fortune. That was too funny. I ‘d love to be entered!
I’m a subscriber so entry # 2 please 🙂
I love that she was rejected for Wheel of Fortune. That’s a badge of honor in my opinion! 🙂

The plot for her next book sounds fascinating. And it was amusing to hear that she was rejected for Wheel of Fortune!
