Story Weekend: Your Favorite Place (and another Giveaway!)
I think every one of us has a favorite place. A chair by the sunny living room window. Flying in a glider above the sea. Paris! Tell us the story of your favorite place. Monday morning 10am EST, I’ll use my trusty Random Number Generator to pick a commenter to win an audio book version…
Read MoreStory Weekend: Sleepovers (and a giveaway)
The little girl across from me in Starbucks is excited about going to her first slumber party tonight (she seems way too young to me, but whatever!) so I thought sleepovers would make a good Story Weekend topic. What does that word conjure up for you? I just received the audio book version of The…
