Book of the Year

You're going to post about your favorite of the Books of the Month. So first you need to focus and type in what you wrote. Capitalize the title properly, put one space after every period and comma and use correct spelling.

When you complete that, you're going to put an image of the book into the post. I'll help a few people do that, then those will help others.

When you finish, you can ...

* Leave a comment for other people's Book of the Year entries. Did you agree with them or not? Did they have some of the same reasons you did? Tell them or, if not, write about the differences. Did they have some good points that you hadn't thought of before? Mention that!

* Look at your unfinished drafts and finish one or two of them.

* Go to the Roadrunner News
