Wonderful, wonderful Mari from the thoroughly lovable blog, Bookworm with a View and the brilliant Manic Mommies Book Club has just emailed to tell me fantastic news! Exit the Actress was chosen to be on the 2011 reading list for the Manic Mommies Book Club!
They choose twelve books a year--one book to read and discuss every month and it looks like Nell will be the book for May! I am thrilled! The Manic Mommies are amazing! They: have a weekly podcast with 50,000 downloads a week, write for Real Simple.com, were just ranked the third most influential mother's group by Forbes Magazine and have adorable calendars at Target, Wal Mart and most big bookstores.
Their entire demeanor is generous, forthright, astute and kind. And, they discuss books I really love. I just listened to Mari's marvelous interview with Elin Hildebrand who wrote The Island. I loved it. I loved the book and I loved the supportive, creative, inquisitive tenor, timbre, tone and pitch of the discussion. I am so thrilled Nell is going to be part of this...
