Love is all around!

Semiprecious The Puppeteer's Apprentice

Happy Valentine’s Day, a day for love and for D. Anne Love, my dear friend from the Atlantic Center for the Arts days. Dorothy has written a number of wonderful books, my favorites of which are Semi-Precious and the fabulous The Puppeteer’s Apprentice. You haven’t read those? You must! And speaking of love, she emailed me that she loved Meggy. Dianah, a bookseller at Powell’s in Portland, also said she loved the book, and nobody knows more about books than booksellers. And there is a rumor of a starred review in Booklist. Love is all around! Hope you get your share.
