We writers are often odd souls. Some things normal people might ignore, mean a big deal to us. Case in point, yesterday I had the chance to talk to a group of teen readers about my second book, Across a Broken Shore. I’ve done these kind of book club events before, but this one was different. Every single girl in the room was completely engaged in the conversation. They knew the smallest details about AABS, caught small nuggets of mystery about certain characters, and understood the symbols and themes I weaved throughout the book. We even did a jeopardy-style game with questions about my own book, and they kicked my tail! The one thing that completely blew me away was this first picture. It seems small, but I’ve always wanted a reader to fall so in love with my book that they flag the pages. When I saw this, I almost lost it! Many thanks to Jennifer, the Prescott Teen Services librarian who put this event together, and to the smart, young women in the group. You inspire me to keep writing!💛 #teenbookclub #bookclub #bookclubevent #teenreaders #teenbookclub #yareads #yareaders #yareadersofinstagram #yareadersofig #yahistoricalfiction #yahistoricalreads #yalit #yafiction #iwriteya #ireadya #yabooksta #yabookstagram #yabooknerd #yabookshelf #yabookclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CQydm-fLoQL/?utm_medium=tumblr
