Once in a while we like to feature other blogs and websites, and today we’ve got one that was passed on to me by one of my local publicists, Lisa Roe. After a stint in New York City, she moved back to Milwaukee to strike out on her own.

Her big project now is one that makes me super excited: Reading Local Milwaukee. This will be THE spot for all things reading and book related in the Milwaukee and surrounding area.

Not in Milwaukee? Never fear. The Reading Local brand has more than one location; other cities include Austin, Portland (one of the more active sites right now), Los Angeles, and more.

I’ve always been envious of my friends in the Chicago area who have a well bred network of readers and local bookstores that give high publicity to reading events. It looks like some of us in smaller cities (or, in my case, the country near the city) have something to look forward to, too. While it’s still quite now, pop your city’s Reading Local into your RSS for what promises to be a wealth of local information coming very soon.
