Today: The books I wish I had written.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]After returning from Boothbay Harbor, one of the first things I did was rave to my mother about J. Courtney Sullivan‘s second novel, Maine. Already a New York Times best seller, “It’s the kind of book you read and think… I wish I…

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Today is Day 3 of my vacation, and Day 1 of me wearing something other than a small bikini and a very large hat. We ventured into town this morning for a few necessities: Coastal Maine popcorn, rope to tie my pretzel float…
