Bullblog tip-off: chick lit authors’ master’s teas

By 3 March 2010 2 Comments

Calhoun will be hosting Valerie Tripp tomorrow (Wednesday) at 4:30. She’s written over 50 American Girl Doll books (including those for Felicity, Josefina, Kit, and Molly). I’m holding out for the author of the Samantha books, but she probably wasn’t also a Yale class of ’73 grad.

Additionally, Davenport will be hosting Gail Carson Levine, author of Ella Enchanted, Thursday at 4 in the common room. Ella Enchanted is one of the WORST examples ever of books –> movies, but I’ve read that book upward of 20 times (and cried every time) so my strong feelings on the subject are legitimate.

So, take a Tripp (ugh) down memory lane and relive childhood favorites. Lois Lowry of the Giver came when I was a freshman, and was awesome. Granted, the Giver had a wider readership than the Josefina series, but her tea was packed to the max, so go early if you’re interested!

  • Valerie Tripp actually wrote the last three books in the Samantha series (Happy Birthday, Samantha!, Samantha Saves the Day, and Changes for Samantha.) So your wish came 1/2 true!
