Reading "Maine" in New Hampshire

Courtney Sullivan did a reading at River Run bookshop in Portsmouth tonight. She was a new author at the festival a few years back and I vaguely recall that she told me the festival was going to be her first such event. Now here she is with a second book getting great reviews in Entertainment Weekly and the Washington Post and doing the bookstore circuit. It's pretty cool to think that the festival was the start of someone's rising career.

Anyway, it was great to see her again. She was funny and charming and I'm looking forward to reading my new autographed copy of "Maine" this summer and being able to say "I knew her when...."
