Ida Linehan Young On-Line Reading Series
Ida Linehan Young, in conjunction with publisher Flanker Press, will be hosting an on-line reading series from her best-selling novel, Being Mary Ro, on Facebook Live, starting on Friday March 27!
A Message from Ida:
"Starting on Friday March 27, and the next 3 Friday's, I will be doing readings from Being Mary Ro to bring a little book club of sorts to my Facebook friends, family, and followers. I will read for 20 minutes and then we can have a discussion about those parts or I can read some more. We will see how the first one goes and continue to improve each week.
Remember - click on "Interested" not on "Going" because I'm not sure how Facebook will handle what it thinks is a crowd gathering.
Either way, it will pop up for you on Friday night." - Ida

Friday, March 27, 8:30 pm - 9:00 pm
