Hey pals!

SO MANY EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING!! I'm getting such an amazing response to my new book A la Cart: The Secret Lives of Grocery Shoppers!

There's a KICK-ASS feature story in today's L.A. Times (there's even a pic of me and a teaser inset on the FREAKIN' FRONT PAGE OF THE WHOLE PAPER!) You can check it out at www.alacartthebook.com/press.htm if you like.

And there was a great feature in Entertainment Weekly -- I'll paste that in below for you.

But first, I thought you might enjoy doing a little grocery shopping with me and the Wall Street Journal. LET'S GO!


..

Here's that
Entertainment Weekly feature!

THANK YOU ALL for your support, great comments, cheering on, excitement, enthusiasm, and e-friendship! YOU ROCK!!

And please let me know what ya think about A la Cart: The Secret Lives of Grocery Shoppers! Hope you dig it!

XO Hillary.

Birdie

 
See you at BookSoup on the 16th!!!!!!

The most entertaining thing in the Journal since the latest CEO excuse for bankrupting a company and still collecting a golden parachute. You rock!

Hilary!!!

Buying your book was transformative!

I love you, lady! I remember reading about you experiences with Carly Simon as a child whilst gazing longingly at Dominic West from HBO's "The Wire" as he sunbathed just 10 feet from me. We were neighbors and I loved him!

I think what you've done with your life is awesome. Your talents as a writer are amazing; as a person who can inhabit others, you rock!!!

Thank you for being a MySpace friend; thank you more for being a cool, interesting human being. I would totally buy you lunch if you came to visit.

My favorite part of your interview is at the end when you look right into the camera and flash those pearly whites. You rock.
