In the Spotlight

Picture Do you like being in the hot seat? The one who is the center of attention?
Honestly, it doesn't usually bother me, but it's a little different when it comes to book club. I have no idea why.
Rendersella was the chosen read for this month. And everyone in our book club loves me. And is usually fairly kind as we unpack a book and tell why we did or did not like it.
But this was MY book. Don't worry. The girls were very sweet about my book. They spent a lot of the time, saying what they liked and asking for inside information about how I came up with the different parts. It was delightful.
But it was still awkward at first. We normally all say what we would rate the story each month between one and five stars, with five being best. We skipped that part on Monday. ;) 
Will I offer to do other book clubs in the future? You bet! Even though it's awkward and a bit disconcerting to have a bunch of people dissecting a story you worked so hard on, it's also so much fun getting to share behind-the-scenes info and backstory and inside scoops and have the people share what they loved. And, I do include questions to help with book clubs in the back of all my full-length novels.
So, do you think you could feel comfortable being front-and-center in a book club? Think you'd be okay with people analyzing your hard work?
