I gave you and your books a shout-out on my blog, “liked” you on Facebook, and posted another shout-out on my Facebook profile page. Being the big mouth that I am, I’ll also be flapping my lips endlessly at my family and friends until they all buy your books. :-) No prizes necessary, it was my pleasure.

I will search Amazon for your book and see which one worked better for you!

I’m honored to be the staff pick, particularly considering how many memoirs and biographies came out this week.

@The Girl from the Ghetto – I’m sorry to hear about your health problems, but I’m glad to hear you like the book. Thanks for planning to review it on your blog! Send me the link when it’s up and I’ll add a link to the book site.

I just finished reading Chocolate & Vicodin and really enjoyed it, as I’m a fellow chronic invisible pain sufferer. (I have a genetic disease that causes me to have about 40 other conditions, ugh!) I’ve moaned about my own pain for 3+ years on my own blog, so I had to laugh when you wrote about posting a crazy blog entry in a moment of pain. Thankfully, I blog under an alias, so I feel no shame acting crazy half the time on my blog. It’s very liberating at times.

After I had a hysterectomy, I woke up with a mofo of a headache that lasted 5 months straight. Since I was also a migraine sufferer in addition to this new sinus-type headache, I was near wits end & downing chocolate as much as I could, since my Relpax wasn’t helping it. Between that headache and my genetic disease, I’ve chased the dream of finding out what was wrong with me for years–so I can totally relate to what you went through.

I’ll be reviewing your book on my own blog soon, and wanted to tell you thanks for writing about something so many people can relate to!

Am about 100 pages in. It is WONDERFULLY written. You have a knack for storytelling, Jennette. You should be VERY proud of yourself! I’m going to suggest it to a couple of my book group friends. Congratulations.

Can’t wait to dive in. (Though Debbi’s comment about being excited to read about your pain is spot on. Sorry about that!).

Not sure if it helped… but when your last book came out and also Shauna’s (dietgirl).. if I saw it at a bookstore, I took a few off the shelf and nudged it onto the main table up front in the new releases.

Not sure if that is something you can promote..but I had fun doing it.
