From scout to hermione: Bookworms salute their favorite heroines
#womeninfiction
“Superheroes, wizards, teachers, troublemakers and ordinary girls — book lovers honored them all on Saturday in a spontaneous celebration via the hashtag #WomenInFiction.
The hashtag appeared to originate Saturday afternoon when Preeti Chhibber, a marketing manager for HarperCollins Children’s Books, began tweeting about strong women writers and beloved women characters. ”

Sasha's Advice
My grandaughter reads constantly and her room, the back seat of the car and the kitchen are filled with books so she can always pick one up. I recently gave her and her younger brother memberships to the Book-of-the-Month club. When she received the latest book, this is what she had to say:
“Nana,
Once you get a new book, but you can’t read it yet, DO NOT read the summary!
I just read the summary of the book club book that just arrived, “Charlotte Sometimes” by Penelope Farmer, and I can’t resist reading right now. However, I am trying to reread all 12 novels for the county-wide Battle of the Books competition on March 9, so this exciting book will have to wait. Maybe you can send a message to the book club people and ask them to cover the summaries so I don’t get tempted!
Do you also have this problem (too many good books to read)?
Love you and can’t wait to see you again.
Sasha

And right here in midcoast Maine, my informal writers' group that consists of Michele Leavitt (http://michelejleavitt.com), Kathrin Seitz (www.kathrinseitz.com) and myself, continues to be a mutually supportive and productive experience.
