On June 28th, my friend Christine and I attended the book launch party for Emily Giffin’s latest book, All We Ever Wanted. We accidentally ended up in great seats right behind the author’s family and close friends. Her mom, a retired Illinois Librarian, was literally right in front of me. It was such an interesting perspective to watch Giffin’s Mom, Daughter, and Husband beam with pride throughout the entire event. … Read More »

They looked at me kind of weirdly. … Read More »
