I know. Isn't that cool?!

Oh my GOD!!! Thank you for accepting my friend request. I love your books sooooo much !!!! <3

Looking forward to reading China Dolls!

Lisa my dear Lisa,

I just finished you're "Peony in love", I fell in love <3
I read it translated (to Arabic) though it was really great (I guess I must thank the translator as well) :)

I'm a huge fan, hope to read more of your works soon.

Melanie,

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write back. I've been having problems with my internet connection. I'm so glad you liked Dreams of Joy. I'm very proud of the ending. Happy at last!

I'm very close to finishing China Dolls, but it won't come out until next year.

Hi Lisa! I just finished reading Dreams of Joy and I enjoyed it very much. It was such a well written book and I especially liked the ending. I've read most of your books now and cant wait until your next one comes out!

Mo, I think I messed up earlier on a message. Can't quite figure out the "reply" button. Is it for the box above or the one below. Anyway, here I am. That's a long way to get to THANK YOU!!!

Hello, Lisa! Thanks for adding me as your friend! I love your books and you have become my favorite author over the last year as I read your books! More, more! :)

Hi Lisa. So happy to be your friend. I just bought Snow Flower and the Secret Fan...can't wait to read.

Thank you for accepting my friend request, Lisa. I love you too much that it's tearing me up... Take care always and write forever! <3

Thank you for accepting my friend request! Have a great weekend! :)

Thanks for friending me. You are one of my fave authors, which I know I've already told you. Anyway, I can never wait for your next book to come out, then it does and I read it so fast and then I am waiting again for the next book! Too bad there isn't two of you so there would be twice as many books!

I'm hoping to come see you at Costco this Sunday! Can't wait to meet the author with such beautiful use of words!

Hurray! You added me as a friend. I bought your "Shanghai Girls" on a perfect whim, without expectation. I stumbled upon another world and I loved it dearly. I've managed to procure for myself "Peony in Love" Thank you for writing, I am happy that you do all this research to ensure the authenticity. Thank you so much for your written word.

Lisa,
Just to let you know that I LOVED "Dreams of Joy." As always, I learned so much that led to further research by me, and the story itself was unforgettable. Thank you for enriching my life.

Lisa you were wonderful at Third Place in Seattle. I sat in the front row with your Mother's book on my lap with Lisa 's baby pictures. I was so inspired to hear of your research too.
And all the way home my friends and I tried to think up white food for the wedding.
Look forward to the movie.

Hi Lisa! I came to your talk and signing at Vromans - I'm the shy girl with ever changing hair (it was blonde and pink when I saw you). I just finishes Dreams of Joy, which Im so thankful for! It was so moving but not only did your characters make it moving, but the tribute you created is so much bigger than I anticipated. I spoke to my parents about The Great Leap Forward... never heard of it, along with others. I knew some, but not to the mindblowing extent I know you dug deep to tell. You've given people their voices during a time when so much was hidden or forgotten. I think you've created more than a book, but a token of reflection, remeberence, and hope. I think all who suffered and perished would be pleased you passed on their story and I hope it brings them peace to be remebered. Take care and thank you for the photo!!!

I'm so excited to see that Dreams of Joy is a sequel to Shanghai Girls! I loved the book and couldn't believe that it ended so abruptly, and the jacket didn't say anything about it being a series or if there was an upcoming sequel (and I looked, hard). I'm looking forward to reading it! Thank you for writing such compelling stories.

Hi Lisa...I wanted to let you know that I just finished On Golden Mountain and I love it! It was so well written and interesting...I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading Dreams of Joy!

Thank you for adding me! I just LOVE your books!! Snowflower is one of my all-time favorites!! I was so giddy when I recently found out you were releasing a new book. I cannot wait for Dreams of Joy!

WHAT!!! You've got a new book?! I was browsing giveaways and my heart dropped with excitement! eeeeek! I can't wait =) I still have all the ones you've signed above my bed, nearby. The boyfriend is NOT allowed to touch them now... ever (I was embarrassed to bring you a copy of Peony in Love to sign with a page loose and his footprint on it... though I doubt you remember but you were happy to see how worn it was! haha)

Now I've read the German translation of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and I really liked to learn a lot about this 19th century everyday life in China. Very nice!

Hi! I finally got my copy of On Gold Mountain -- I held out for a while in order to get the hard cover edition. AMAZING! I'm going to dig into right now! =) Now I'm just trying to make myself go slow in order to savor it and hope more is on the way! Thank you again for everything!

Hi Lisa, A few friends and I from my book club will be at the luncheon tomorrow in San Diego. Look forward to possibly meeting you!

Lisa: I was at your your reading today at Book Passage in Corte Madera, CA. It was very moving to hear about your family history and how you want to keep it alive in your stories. I have often wished that I had done more to know and keep the stories of my family as I have lost two grandparents and my father in the last three years. I look forward to reading Shanghai Girls next!

Hi Lisa, I hope your Mar Vista Library swap is a smashing success! I gave it a little shout-out: www.sarahmccoy.wordpress.com

Wish I lived in the Cali area to come. Have fun!

Thanks for the add Lisa! And big BONJOUR from New York...

Thanks for accepting my request...and best of luck with Shanghai Girls! My friends have been raving about it.

Hello Lisa,

As an author I am sure you love to read as well...

I thought you might like to try a book that my book club is going to read. (We already read SnowFlower and the Secret Fan, one of my ALL time favorites). "The Last Chinese Chef" is by Nicole Mones and everyone I have recommended it to has loved it. (her other two are very good as well). I will tell my book club about your visit to the Los Angeles area later this year buy we are out in the Inland Empire a few hours a way.

Thank you for the wonderful gift that you share with millions of people!

Thank you so much!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for befriending this fellow author. I loved Snow Flower and the Secret Fan!
