Hooray for Bookworms of All Ages!
One of the happiest memories of my launch year for The Year We Were Famous will be the mother-daughter book group I visited December 2. I hadn’t envisioned readers as young as 5th grade, but these were avid readers who lived up to their group’s name, The Bookworms. After working on a book for seventeen years, what could be more rewarding than meeting enthusiastic readers!
My other December events will all be on-line:
December 10-16: Jean Henry Mead’s blog, www.writersofthewest.blogspot.com - interview
December 15 – Maria Cari Soto’s blog, www.cariblogs.com – sharing memories with members of the Class of 2k11
