Lots of drama this week, in the form of great British pomp and circumstance, enormous hats (Maxima), and the return of White Polo Pants season.

But first of all, a reminder that **Heather and I will be visiting Chicago on June 6th for the Printer's Row Lit Fest**, and we'd LOVE to meet you, sign your copies of *The Royal We*, talk about Maxima's hats and this blog or whatever else you like. [All the details are here, and please let us know if you have any questions!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/come-meet-us-in-chicago-05-2015/)

Speaking *of The Royal We*, we are delighted that Publisher's Weekly just said, ["Royal watchers and chick-lit fans alike will delight in this sparkling tale. Pure fun](https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-4555-5710-3?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)." As you may know, [we also made the New York Times Summer Reading List](https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/22/books/cool-beach-books-for-hot-summer-days.html?ref=books&%5Fr=0)!

To wit: "You know how it is when you're king of England, Ireland and France. You can do what you bally well like. Sick of your wife? Just call her a liar and a baby-repeller before having her bundled off so you can shack up with your flouncy new girlfriend.

The carriage, known as the 'Train of Literature,' will make several stops in Norway, where the princess will meet with locals to encourage a love of reading."
