Former editor of Motherlode and author of the instant New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club Pick, The Chicken Sisters, KJ Dell'Antonia returns to discuss her latest novel, In Her Boots. KJ and Zibby talk about the exciting new episodes coming up on her #AmWriting podcast, the effect her book How to be a Happier Parent has had on her own parenting, and what she finds hardest about writing. KJ also shares how she is prepping for an upcoming speech on the importance of reading whatever you like and when she's currently reading (besides a book on how to give a speech).
KJ Dell'Antonia, HOW TO BE A HAPPIER PARENT: RAISING A FAMILY, HAVING A LIFE, AND LOVING (ALMOST) EVERY MINUTE
KJ: This is the good stuff. This is the meat. This is the middle of the sandwich. You don't have to savor every minute. This is not one of those old-lady-in-the-grocery-store, “Time goes so fast” It’s not that. We don't have to feel like unicorns and rainbows constantly. To make that decision to make it as good as you can is really important.
