Hi there,

 

the twitter hashtag #tbc is being used "as to be continued".

Is there another hashtag?

Next book for book club request

Dear Bethanne:

I think the next book that should be on the book club for a free give away if possible should be, Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.  He is a great writer!! In honor of Hispanic Heritage month.  Another wonderful author is Isabel Allende who is one of my other favorites.  Let me know what you think?  I will be creating a new account on Twitter since I do not have an account with them. 

 

Thank you,

Veronica Medrano
