When a reader entered a local library contest to meet Emily St. John Mandel, she sent me a message to ask if I would come to Ohio and share the experience with her.  This correspondence led to an unforgettable road trip and an experience that I won't ever forget.  Carie's also sharing the joy she has found in running a middle-grade book club for her daughter. So be sure to tune in for all of her excellent book recommendations.Mentioned in this episode:Join the Patreon Community For the Bonus ContentStation 11 by Emily St. John MandelTo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeDyspraxiaCharlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald DahlWilly Wonka & The Chocolate Factory MovieMatilda by Roald DahlMatilda the MusicalThe One and Only Ivan by Katherine ApplegateMy Life As A Potato by Arianne CostnerMiddle School, The Worst Years of My Life by James PattersonMiddle School, The Worst Years of My LifeThe Vanderbeekers of 141st Street by Karina Yan GlaserKristina Reid  - ReidingwithKThe Blackbird Girls by Anne BlankmanMomAdvice Book ClubThe Prettiest Star by Carter SickelsAll the Young Men by Ruth Coker BurksBorn a Crime by Trevor NoahMidnight Library by Matt HaigFind Carrie on GoodreadsGet today's bonus episodes (and listener perks) by joining our Patreon community- https://www.patreon.com/momadviceThis post contains affiliate links.
