Name: Genny McAuley

Location: San Francisco, California

Profession: Book Peddler at Chronicle Books & florist

Best book you've read in the past year: The Keepers of the House by Shirley Ann Grau

Kids' book you could read every night: Weird Parents by Audrey Wood or Bears on Chairs by Shirley Parenteau

Best memory of being a kid: Going on road trips with my family. One time, we all went camping in Yosemite and after the first night, my mom and I decided we were too cold/the ground was no fun to sleep on so we left the boys in the woods and drove to my grandmother's house for the rest of the long weekend. I like camping now, but it was fun to fly by the seat of our pants and surprise my grandma with a visit from her girls!

Favorite weekend activity: Weeding the garden with my 18-month old nephew

Song currently on repeat: (this is embarassing) "Sorry" by Justin Beiber and (this isn't so embarassing) "Standing In the Shadow of Love" by The Four Tops

*Genny dressed as an 80s hip hop cat (duh)*

Favorite meal: A giant nicoise salad and chocolate coconut ice cream for dessert

Last time you made something with your hands: Yesterday! I put together many bouquets and hand-wrote notes for their recipients

Fun fact about you: My left eyebrow was born turning down at the end--it's grown up that way, too, and everything turned out all right!
