Kerry Lonsdale believes life is more exciting with twists and turns, which may be why she enjoys dropping her characters into unexpected scenarios and foreign settings. She graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and is a founder of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association. She resides in Northern California with her husband, two children, and an aging golden retriever who’s convinced she’s still a puppy. (Bio courtesy of Kerry's website.)
Today, Kerry is here to talk about shopping, as that is our theme for this month.

The mall, of course! My favorite was Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, CA. It’s an open-air mall with large raised planting beds that overflow with flowers and foliage. So much color...
Last item you purchased online:
I love online shopping! (Almost too much. Lol.) The last item I purchased was a box of padded envelopes. Boring, I know. But they’ll be used for a good cause. Book mail!
Least favorite thing to shop for:
Groceries. Ugh. It’s such a chore. And rarely happens only once/week. More like 3-4 times/week. But… teenagers. They have bottomless stomachs.
Do you like to shop alone or with family/friends?
Online! I have no patience shopping with other people. It’s hard for me to focus on what I’m purchasing. I spend too much time talking, which is why if I’m with family and/or friends, we’re doing lunch instead.
I’m allergic to Sodium Laurel Sulfate, a common ingredient in most toothpastes so I order my toothpaste online since it’s not available in stores. I don’t know what I did. Hit an extra zero or something in the quantity field. Either way, 30 tubes showed up, enough to last me a couple of years.
Favorite place to buy groceries:
At the moment, Sprouts. It’s a mini-version of Whole Foods because the nearest Whole Foods is forty-five minutes from me. When I get over the hill into the Bay Area, my favorite store is Draeger’s. Shopping there is a treat.

Would love to win this awesome book. Thank you for the chance. Sorry don't do twitter or instagram.
When I was a teen we used to have my friend's parents drop us off at the movie theater and after they left, we would walk over to the mall. We didn't do any shopping (as none of us really had the money for that), it was more like hanging out in the arcade or walking around looking at the boys. We would always get a piece of pizza and and Orange Julius.
Would love to win this book! Loved shopping at the original Filene's Basement in Boston.
To be honest, I never liked shopping. In fact, I'm still not a fan.
If I went to a different city and could go the shops that my city didn't have
Surprisingly, I have never liked to shop. To me it is a chore.
I most enjoyed shopping at bookstores as a teen.

I always loved going to Towneast Mall.
I always loved shopping at the mall and hanging out with my friends.
I really didnt get to go shopping as a teen. My mom only would let me buy school clothes at the beginning of the school year and it was only would be like to new outfits because out of that money I had to get shoes, sneakers and school supplies. It was depressing when you would see your friends with all these new clothes.
I used to love going to the hardware store with my father.
I would go downtown to the great dept. stores which no longer exist.
toy store
Benetton was where I liked shopping when I was young.
I shopped in The Limited and Express the most. Showing my age! :)
