Sophomore year in high school I read a study that listed Minnesota and New Hampshire as the number 1 and 2 healthiest states to live in. Born and raised in the Granite State (Live Free or Die, baby!), I felt especially proud of our clean air and abundance of trees and already felt a strong kinship toward anyone from the Gopher State…though the only person I knew who hailed from MN was my French teacher. Since then I’ve met several Minnesotans, and I’ve yet to be disappointed! First there was the local morning show host. Must note, however, she doesn’t follow directions so well. I mean, we’re on live television—when I say cut through only one layer, I mean ONE layer.
Then I was off to visit some bookstores—one even featured Generation T as a staff pick! Thanks guys!
Then, it was off to exploring the local thrift stores with my friend Sarah who actually hails from this “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” but who spends most of her time in the Borough of Kings back in Brooklyn. And finally, I got to hang with the lovely folks at my event at Book Corner for a cozy little demo and pizza party!
