Welcome to the WVMP Radio Series Read Along! If our planning sessions are any indication, this Read Along is going to be a GREAT time.
We start our reading of WICKED GAME today and we’re very anxious to start discussing the goings-on in Sherwood with all of you.
Here are some things to keep in mind as we begin the Read Along:
1. Test out your Google+ account as soon as you can. When you log in to your account you should have a notification from Jen Duffey sharing a WVMP Circle with you. Accept her invitation and...Voila! You'll have your very own WVMP Circle that includes all participants of the Read Along.
2. When you want to submit a post to the WVMP Read Along group, be sure to share with your WVMP Circle so everyone can see your question/comment.
3. Come visit us OFTEN on Google+. While each host will be posting discussion questions throughout each week, we want YOU to post what’s on your mind. Start or comment on a discussion thread anytime you’d like.
4. Come visit us OFTEN on Facebook. Because Google+ is new to so many of us, we’re going to be posting questions on the WVMP Fan Page on Facebook, too. Post on the wall at any time!
5. Each comment you make on Google+ and Facebook earns you an entry into a weekly swag giveaway.
6. NO SPOILERS. Please keep discussions relevant to current and prior readings only.
