The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
Thanks, Elizabeth, for this great group of links. I really enjoy (and learn from!) every trip through the lit links! I'm especially glad there are a few posts here about the role fiction plays (e.g. why we read murder mysteries). During Banned Books Week, I think it's important to think about the role books play in our lives, and how important it is to have them freely available.
An excellent point, Margot!
