I just got a call from my agent that The Nightingale went UP on the New York Times list this week to number 6 — that’s ten weeks and counting on the list! My very first thought was THANK YOU to all of my fabulous readers. You have really made this book soar. Your support and enthusiasm have made all the difference, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am. As most of you know, I have been writing for a long time — The Nightingale is my 21st novel — so I know how incredibly special all of this is. How rare.
You guys made all of this happen. It is because of you reading it, recommending it, sharing it on Facebook and telling your friends. And your reviews! So far there are almost 15,000 Goodreads.com ratings for the book. Thank you for taking your valuable time to write and share your thoughts with others. I know it is because of your enthusiasm that Hollywood came calling, and so I want you guys to be the first to know my big movie news. You’re reading this right. THE NIGHTINGALE IS GOING TO BE A MOVIE!! How cool is that!?! I cannot wait to see this amazing story on the big screen. I hope they need me to be an extra in Paris. Wouldn’t that be awesome??? You can read more about it here. And now, as you are all discovering The Nightingale and telling your friends about it, I am attempting the impossible — writing my next book. 🙂 I have just finished the first draft. My challenge: To bring you another book that impacts and moves you the same way. Gulp! Just thinking about it makes me want to pour a glass of wine and find a beach to walk on. So that’s what I will do today. Tomorrow, I will do what I love most: get back to writing. Again, I cannot thank you all enough for all the love you are sending to The Nightingale. Thanks for being a part of The Nightingale story. Aloha,
Kristin For more scoop and a bunch of cool behind-the-scenes material, check out my website, KristinHannah.com.
