“it wasn’t until my fifth or sixth book where i realized i’m trying to do the same thing in every story I tell,

which is bring everybody together in the same room.”

-Kate dDiCamillo,

*kate is an american children’s fiction author. she has published over 25 novels, including Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tiger Rising, The Tale of Despereaux, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, The Magician’s Elephant, the Mercy Watson series, and Flora & Ulysses. John Newberry Medal winner.

while kate’s books are geared toward children and young adults, her books appeal to all ages. i find her writing incredibly beautiful and she is one of my favorite authors.

  5. Oh Beth, the picture you paint! I must say in my over 12yrs of living in the Paris region, I‘ve never ever seen a baguette of that size
    And neither did i ever see anybody with a 6 pack of wine bottles….. ‚we‘ are way more discerning. But the book club, on the other hand , is something i very much envy you for. Because I’m (soon was…) a crazed reader and would have loved to be in a book club, but never was in one for reasons unbeknownst to me. And a glass of red really belongs to a book club. You have two hands, one to carry the glass of wine and the other one to either hold the book or to gesticulate to make your point! ;)

  30. Sounds like a wonderful club to be in!

    And thank you for reminding me. Kate DiCamillo was in my “authors to get to know” but when I changed phones, I lost my list. She is back on my new one!
