Comic book onomatopoeia speech bubble (Image by Annalise Batista from Pixabay) I was not, in fact, a comic book kid. They just weren’t something on my radar as a child reader. I had a subscription to a Barbie book club. I frequented the library, and eventually as I got older, Borders Bookstore.

A New Way to Book Club
After several years of liking one another’s Goodreads and Facebook statuses, my cousins and I finally had the brilliant idea to start a family book club. Virtual, of course, as we are spread around South and Central Florida, Virginia, and New Jersey. The only problem is, with such varied schedules and reading speeds, picking oneContinueContinue reading “A New Way to Book Club”

The following poem was originally featured at my other writing blog here.
