How did #virtualbookclub get started?

All it took was one very exciting tweet sent out by Beth Panageotou on behalf of herself and Niki Ohs Barnes (2 amazing Twitter PLN members). I love to buddy read so this was a perfect opportunity for me. Plus, I have a library full of fantastic children's literature.





So, I answered them back and we were treated to this surprise.




Book lovers begin to sense something wonderful was happening and like magnets, we were drawn together to share our love of reading and great Kid Lit.  We owe a great big THANK YOU to Beth and Niki for getting the book rolling.
