Twitter Book Chats
#ppspdspot hosts a slow chat of a middle grade novel each month. See the list below for books we have read in the past.
I will post each month's book here and on Twitter before the chat begins. I will also post the weekly reading for the chat. You can post any time during the week. We read small sections each week to keep the reading manageable and to make the reading and the chats less stressful and more FUN!
Everyone is welcome to join the book chat. We only ask that you are careful about spoilers and that you are polite and respectful with your tweets.
