“Tags” by the late Walter Dean Myers, the fifth story in this anthology, is written in the format of a short one-act play (a fun touch of variety for an anthology). The story is powerful and creative. Much like the first story in this anthology, “Tags” is layered with meaning and brilliantly constructed. I‘d have to say this is my favorite story so far. #anthology #WeNeedDiverseBooks #WalterDeanMyers #Tags #FreshInk #JRW18
Hanging out with my dog Wicket as I‘m starting the anthology Fresh Ink, edited by the ever-awesome Lamar Giles. Been eager to get my hands on this book, even before I found out I‘d be moderating a panel at the James River Writers Conference that will include Lamar. It‘s always nice when my moderator prep collides with my TBR list.

• Has anyone read any books by Christopher Buckley? I started this one on vacation and am really liking it so far. I actually “stole” it from my boo. I‘m a cover lover; it‘s badass and eye-catching. It‘s political satire; most of his books are in this genre. Let me know if you have read this one or any of his other ones please! •

#FreshInk I got my first tattoo on Friday, and OF COURSE I had to honor my favorite book. This is the second ace that Eddie receives, and Father Callahan's story is one of my favorites of all the people Eddie helps. I'm so happy with my choice, and thank you Markus Zusak for creating a book that is basically perfect and therefore worthy of being etched into my skin forever!!
