Reading is social!

We just started Book Clubs! 
There are many reasons that I LOVE Book Clubs! As an adult, I have been a member of many book clubs in the past.

Please share with us some of your thoughts on the joys of reading books and sharing with others. Also, you can share some of your first impressions of the characters in your book.

Top of the Mountain!

Writers,we have all been working on plotting out our stories on story mountains. As we know, the event at the top of the mountain is when the problem is at its worst or most challenging point. Please share your mountain tops with us! What is the most intense part of your story...the problem at its worst!
