On May 2nd, Ann Pachett (author of Bel Canto and others) wrote an article for the NYT on Petoskey and Julie Norcross. As you all know, the Petoskey/Bay View area is my summer home and holds onto my heart almost as much as B and Spencer do. And, Julie, wonderful, wonderful Julie, was my boss for many years as I worked at her amazing bookstore each summer in the evenings and on the weekends. She is one of the nicest, kindest, smartest, and most loving people I have ever met, and her love for the area just radiates whenever you talk with her.
I would encourage you all to read this lovely article and then start planning a trip to experience my favorite part of the world :)

Make sure to check out the pictures on the top of the article. You'll see a few Bay View Cottages as well as the front of the bookstore. Ahhhh, heaven!

I CANNOT believe you got to work @ M&E -- I'm so jealous -- I LOVE that bookstore. The people who work there are the best, so helpful and anything they have ever recommended I've enjoyed. I go to their website often for book reviews and book club picks. Wish the cottage was closer so I could be in one of the book clubs. YEAH for hitting the big time with the NYT!
ReplyDeleteI took my parents all around the area a few years back when I finished grad school. So very nice. Am determined to make it up for a long weekend this year. And I'll definitely be putting the bookstore on my list!
