North of Beautiful: Bluestocking Society

Join me today on Jessica's blog, The Bluestocking Society, where I'm the guest blogger on Beauty. Any woman who counts Powell's Books as one of her happiest places on earth is a friend of mine. (Stay tuned: Powell's interviewed me for their website.)

Here's my favorite quote from Jessica's review of North of Beautiful:

"I could write a term paper on the layers of this theme in this book. North of Beautiful reminded me, in many ways, of a John Green novel - smart teenagers stumbling through situations and eventually getting their legs beneath them - from a girl’s perspective."

Now that is high praise.

Today I am thankful for book lovers who take the time to share their love of books with others. (Go, Jessica!)

Week Two of my Book Blog Tour was spearheaded by Sara Easterly. Is she not glowing miraculously, especially given having just had a baby? (And if you like her orange baby bag, thank you very much! I claim that one: I special ordered that one for her, bugging the designer so that my girl got the FIRST one. Sara also coordinated the Seattle portion of my Girl Overboard tour.)
