Loving the Summer Lists

Learning that The Year of Goodbyes is on recommended summer reading lists at schools and libraries across the country this season--what a wonderful feeling.

Places such as:  Old Town, Maine.  Orleans, Massachussetts.  Southold, New York.  Demarest, New Jersey.  Carroll County, Maryland.  Martin County, Florida.  The Iowa City Consolidated School District.  Fremont, Nebraska.  And more!

And I don't want to leave out Mrs. Dalloway's bookstore in Berkeley, California.  Thanks to the staff there for spreading the word.  

I love thinking of this book in the hands of readers from sea to shining sea!
