1) Great Expectations (It’s the only book I know with a character named Pip)
2) Pride and Prejudice
3) To Kill a Mockingbird
7) The Lovely Bones
Outlander (My all time favorite novel - except I believe it reads “It WASN’T a very likely place…”
9) Corpse Whisperer

Enjoy RWAUS and let me know how it goes.

I love you too J!! I can’t tell you how much you’ve all helped me and I love the range of stories we have coming from all directions! I don’t know what I’d do without the encouragement from a great bunch of gals =)

Thanks, Tarnya. I agree, it must have been lonely. And what if your crit partner didn’t live nearby - it could be very expensive. If you’re me anyway LOL. I’d be dashing around the country trying to find them for help with a scene.

How was Florence? And did your laptop arrive in Rome?

I couldn’t agree more. As a new writer, I don’t think I could have honed my skills as quickly if I wasn’t in a crit group. While it’s fantastic when someone crits your work (regardless of reaction - it gets you thinking), the main power is from reading other wip. That’s the powerful part. I’ve learnt so much from reading other wip’s. Much more so than simply reading published books.
How on earth did authors ever cope before the internet? I can’t fathom how lonely it would be without my group of critters.
