Yesterday, I posted about my intention to start a fiction reading and learning program for myself. I said I'd pick a book by today. So, what is the book I picked?
Well, since I have been into writing vampire fiction of late, why not have vampires for reading as well. So, the novel up for Book Learning, Session #1, is Quenched by Mary Ann Mitchell.
I have already begun reading. Where am I currently? Well, I'm done with chapter two. I'll post about my opinions thus far on this book on Thursday, Jan 7th.

Book Learning
I'm a firm believer in continuing education. When you can't afford writing workshops or programs, you do it yourself. Some of the best advice I heard was to read a book and learn how the author made it work. So, that is exactly what I am going to do. Not only will it get me reading fiction regularly, but I will be learning at the same time.
My plan is to read the book with minimal stopping for note taking. Then I go back, chapter by chapter and analyze the book. Discover how it works. In doing so, however, my posts will be rather spoiler-heavy, I am afraid.
These posts I plan to keep on Thursdays. Today or tomorrow, I'll post my book choice and on the 7th, I'll give an update on my progress. I welcome your responses to the book, as well.
