New From Nancy Pearl...Book Lust To Go

From the MN Star Tribune: Nancy Pearl is in Minnesota this week as part of the Club Book series, talking about her latest book, "Book Lust to Go: Recommended Reading for Travelers, Vagabonds, and Dreamers" (Sasquatch Books, $16.95). Here visit will take her to the Southdale Library in Edina, the St. Paul Library and to a local school on behalf of the Carver County Library.

Between her website (nancypearl.com), Facebook ("it's a real time-sucker-upper"), tweets, NPR reviews and speaking engagements, she's a literary lantern who lights our way through the dark canyons created by the overwhelmingly prolific publishing industry. She talked from her home in Seattle about the complex process of choosing a book, and the beauty of intuition.

Interview follows here.
