The communities of Plainfield and Joliet, both just west of Chicago, have chosen Into the Beautiful North as The Great Read this year. It's the first honor for this book and we couldn't be prouder.
Tonight is the kickoff event at the Barnes & Noble in Plainfield. And they'll be debuting a new hot chocolate drink, inspired by me and the book! They held a contest for readers to name the drink, a mixture of white hot chocolate and cinnamon: it'll be interesting to hear the winning suggestion!
They have a huge schedule of events, most of which I'll be attending. If you're in the area, please come on by.

Thanks Plainfield and Joliet! We'll have a great time!
