It all kicks off today, so I thought I'd share an excerpt of the book to get us started!
Let me know your thoughts, what you'd put in YOUR LRN, and of course, thanks for watching!
About BELZHAR by Meg WolitzerGet It | Add It
Contemporary/Magical Realism, 264 pages
Expected publication: September 30th 2014 by Dutton Juvenile
If life were fair, Jam Gallahue would still be at home in New Jersey with her sweet British boyfriend, Reeve Maxfield. She’d be watching old comedy sketches with him. She’d be kissing him in the library stacks.
She certainly wouldn’t be at The Wooden Barn, a therapeutic boarding school in rural Vermont, living with a weird roommate, and signed up for an exclusive, mysterious class called Special Topics in English.
But life isn’t fair, and Reeve Maxfield is dead.
Until a journal-writing assignment leads Jam to Belzhar, where the untainted past is restored, and Jam can feel Reeve’s arms around her once again. But there are hidden truths on Jam’s path to reclaim her loss.
From New York Times bestselling author Meg Wolitzer comes a breathtaking and surprising story about first love, deep sorrow, and the power of acceptance.

Journal writing exercises STILL get my creative juices flowing like no other (especially when done daily, mixing serious and silly, timed and open-ended, structured and free-form). What a fabulous concept! I love it.
