Dear friends
I'm just about to add a few stills from tonight's show. Dunno when I get to do the clips, but hopefully, I'll manage tomorrow. The show was really nice, I think that the panel is very interesting and that the chat about books and the idea to have a "guest star" presenting his/her own stuff and then also talking about the actual book from the "ten" list will bring a fresh touch to it each time a new show comes up.
There are two interviews, one with a "former Book Club" author and one with the author that's about to be discussed. Also there's a little extra about some interesting / funny / entertaining books... all done very carefully and with a great deal of respect towards the authors.
The first show was very promising and me well I thought everyone one it was quite nervous, but all very very positive and nice. They said what they had to say about the book in question and I really didn't feel that anybody tried to "push" something that they actually really never liked. I only wished that the producers would allow more time for that particular "critique" spot - 5 minutes debate is definitely too little a time for a decent discussion... I mean there are 6 people sitting there having an opinion - and frankly the show has 25 minutes net run time!!! C'mon boys.
So a well done to everyone involved, really a nice feel-ggod about books show - makes you hunger for a visit to the local bookstore...
Cheers!
