Star-Struck


OMG 61 years old and I was star – struck. I thought that those embarrassing, tongue tied moments left you when you finished your teen years. Guess not. I met Nevada Barr! You know that imaginary list of people that you would like to meet – well Nevada was on my list (along with Queen Latifah, Steve Wozniak, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Bryson, and Ellen DeGeneres just to name a few). At Saturday’s Table of Contents dinner I actually got to meet one of my listees and had my picture taken with her. Wow!

Anyway, I started reading Nevada’s “Anna Pigeon” novels many years ago. Endangered Species, which was set in Georgia’s nearby National Park Cumberland Island, was the one that hooked me and I have been a fan of her books since. If you haven’t read any of her books – try one. You might get hooked too.

........And who are on YOUR list?
