"Starting on Friday, October 9, and the next 3 Friday's, my author reading series will be back. I will be doing readings from The Liars, 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.
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
