Well, I don't know about bloopers but I just wanted to say that I had a STWOM moment when I was skimming NW yesterday. You know, when Sloan and Noah started dancing... What did the orchestra begin to play?

Can't remember, Sari, but I do know that the song playing when Mer was 13 and dancing w/ Parker at the dance *and* also playing at the benefit ball as Mer and Parker (as adults) are standing next to each is Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered.
LOL
Oh wait...Noah and Sloan were dancing to Someone to Watch Over Me weren't they? I LOVE that song!

I'll take a stab at this. Page 197 of the paperback copy. Noah is getting ready to leave for dinner with Sloan, Paris and Paul. Courtney says:
quote:"The man has no shame! Courtney announced to the ceiling. "He's hitting on sisters. It's incestuous!"
There's really nothing incestuous about Noah hitting on sisters, since the sisters are not hitting on each other. Is that the "blooper" you're talking about?

I HAVE IT, JUDITH! It's on page 250. It is right after Sloan an Noah slept together on the boat. They are sitting having a conversation about Sloan's parents and their history. I believe the sentence is after the Who's Who remark in which the sentence starts, "When Paul didn't smile at her attempt at humor, Sloan sobered and said lightly, "She was still so certain that he loved her..." and so forth, but! she was actually speaking to Noah, and Noah is used obviously for the rest of the scene! I would love to here that I'm right Ms. McNaught, however, I would just love to hear from you period.
I'll bet when you asked this question you never thought they would come up with so many!
I once had an accounting teacher who - after publishing his own book and software - told us he'd pay us $1 for every blooper we found. And here you have a group of brilliant women who'll do it for free!

Could the blooper be on page 84 of the hardcover edition where Courtney says to Noah "You're the closest thing to a sibling I have."? The dictionary defines sibling as one of two or more individuals having one common parent. Or pehaps it's at the very end of the book where Courtney is telling the waiter that Mrs. Douglas Maitland is also "my mother". Technically she would be her step-mother. Whatever the "blooper" might be, I adore all your books, and can't wait to read STWOM.

P.S. Love that subliminal message!

Blooper is the last line of the second paragraph of Chapter 27.
In my original manuscript, Sloan gave Mrs. Meade an exercise to do to help her sore arm, and Mrs. Meade thanks her at the front door--but I didn't like the idea of Sloan demonstrating exercises at her party. On the phone, my editor and I discussed it, and decided Sloan should simply give Mrs. Meade a recipe for key lime pie. My editor drew a "deletion" line through the phrase "it helped my sore arm immensely tonight."
Unfortunately the typesetters interpreted the deletion symbol as a dash...and that's how it appears in the book.
I laughed out loud when I read it. The way it reads is completely silly...but no one realizes it, I guess. Now it's our private joke?

Oh that is too funny! And I got an extra chuckle out of it because as I reached for my copy of NW just now (which I began a re-read of a few nights ago), my bookmark is sitting in between pages 246 and 247 -- the second and third to last pages of Chapter 26. All I had to do was turn the page to be at the "key lime pie" blooper page. I wonder if I would have noticed it? ;)

I noticed the "key lime blooper" last night when I was skimming through the book again, and it seemed strange, but I just assumed that I had missed something earlier. What the heck. If eating pie can help a sore arm, I'm all for it!

OMG! OH NO...! Don't tell me its not true. I had a dentist appt today, and I told my hygienist about the key lime pie.
I came accross the line yesterday and thought nothing of it. I was wondering, but... at the same time believing in it. I believe anything is possible.
But when I re-read it again just now there... lies the key. She said " I am going to try that recipe for key lime pie you gave me--it helped my sore arm immensely tonight".
How can it helped her arm when she has not made the key lime pie and eat it yet.
Dah.... Thutt.... ROTFLMA$$O? and waving a white flag to surrender. Liz
