  • Tomato Nation Read Along — Going in Circles

    Move over, Oprah. Sarah Bunting’s starting up her own book club. Her readers voted and chose Going in Circles as their first selection. They spent the past few weeks reading and today they begin their discussion in this thread following Sarah’s review. I will also be participating in a live chat with the readers of…
