When Charlotte Comes Home
I am reading When Charlotte Comes Home by Maureen Millea Smith and it is beautiful and so devastating that I need time to process it before I can tell you about it.
All I can tell you is that I am not a big reader, not like the rest of you. I have a hard time reading so I don't do it as often as I should. Plus, I rarely find that book. You know, that book that sits on your shoulder like a little buzzing bird as you go about your day, that story that keeps calling to you until you can pick the book back up in the evening. This is such a book for me, so if you want to, pick it up. Be moved, be haunted, and support local authors all in one swift move.
More later...

I just finished my last book and am looking for another to start. Thanks for the recommendation. I hope they carry St. Paul authors in Salt Lake City. BTW, hope to see you again someday when I'm back in town. Let's do lunch! But seriously, let's do. OK?

My agent represents that author, Alex, and sold the book. Also, Maureen is a Hamline grad.

Yep Bloggy, you are correct. Sheila is having us read all local authors. When Charlotte Comes Home is, by the way, amazing.
Lucas, you are so on.

Yay Hamline grads getting book deals!
Alex, you read blogs a lot, don't you? That counts, doesn't it?

I do read blogs! Thanks Michele. Also, I read Cottage Living and InStyle. Does that count?
Today I am reading Shannon Olson's Welcome to My Planet. Nice read.

Hmmm. This seems like a pretty tight little community of upper midwest authors.....

Shannon Olson rocks. She visited our class on Tuesday and she is very down to earth and funny. I worked with her a little when I had my intership at the Loft and she is just a cool cat.
Rand! Where's the tie? You look smashing.
