Had I realized that Nagamatsu is currently a professor at my small Minnesota alma mater, I probably would have liked this even more!! (Thanks, alumni magazine!) I loved it a lot even before knowing. ❤️ #CampLitsy
Megabooks That‘s cool! 2y
BarbaraBB I thought the author was a woman 😇 2y
vivastory I once drove to St Olaf's when I lived in Minneapolis to hear Benjamin Percy & Mary Ruefle read. It was great! 2y

Ruthiella @BarbaraBB 😂My niece is named Sequoia and I also thought he was a she at first. But then I heard the author on the podcast So Many Damn Books and realized my mistake. 2y
Hooked_on_books That‘s so cool! 2y
Hooked_on_books @vivastory Isn‘t Ben Percy amazing! That voice! 2y
jlhammar I‘m in the Twin Cities and went to St. Olaf once for one of their wonderful choir concerts. We‘ve read some great stuff for #CampLitsy, but I think this one might be my fav. 2y
vivastory @Hooked_on_books I was completely unfamiliar with him but was an immediate fan bc of the piece he read & the voice! 2y
BarbaraBB @Ruthiella I am glad Sequoia is a women‘s name as well, that makes my mistake a bit more understandable 😉 2y
Christine @megabooks I sure thought so! 2y
Christine @BarbaraBB I can think of several reasons why I might have thought the same! I had seen a picture of him somewhere before reading it. 2y
Christine @vivastory Oh fun - sounds like a great event! St. Olaf was pretty idyllic (though I underappreciated it in some ways back in the day). 2y
Christine @Ruthiella I enjoy that podcast but apparently missed that episode - must go back and find! 2y
Christine @Hooked_on_Books Agreed re: coolness! And now based on your exchange with @vivastory I need to learn about Ben Percy! 2y
Christine @jlhammar Aww fun! If you‘d gone to a concert in the late 90s I‘d have been in it! (Even met my husband when we were both in the St. Olaf Choir. 🎵🤓) And yes, I think I agree re: this being my favorite #CampLitsy title so far. 2y
jlhammar @Christine I love that! I met my husband in college choir too (University of St. Thomas)! Can't believe that was over twenty years ago now. 2y
Christine @jlhammar - No way!! That‘s so great! MN college choir couples forever! 😁 2y
Liz_M I think you went to the wrong Northfield college. 😁😉 #CarletonAlum 2y
Christine @Liz_M LOL, no way! How fun. I love Carleton! I was in it for the choir re: St. Olaf. 😄 2y
