Holy book tour Batman!
They're making a trilogy book series of your life. What are the titles, who would write it and why?
Since this is not a memoir nor am I (God willing) near the end of my life, I am thinking about giving a book to the three most significant periods of my life. This is precisely why this would be an interesting question to ask someone once every five to 10 years, because the answers would most likely change immensely (I know mine would had you asked me this five years ago).
Therefore, my three book titles would be:
Lambertville Snowglobe
small-town girl In New York City
A Chicago Education
Book one would be about my life growing up in the sheltered snowglobe of the tiny village of Lambertville, Michigan.
Book two would be about my crazy, unpredictable, amazing four years living among 8 million people on the island of Manhattan.
Book three would be about what I've learned about life and the world we live in now that I'm on the cusp of my 30s.
And all three books would be written by Jeanette Walls, author of one of my all-time favorite books - The Glass Castle. She can paint a picture in one sentence and breathe life into the most mundane. She would be the one to give my sometimes hilarious sometimes crazy sometimes monotonous life a life of its own.
