Repost | The 1st Annual AAMBC Book Drive (until December 15th)
This is a great literary effort! Look through your bookshelves and plan to participate.
From Tamika Newhouse, AAMBC Founder
and Book Drive Coordinator
This year marks the first ever Holiday Book Drive conducted by AAMBC. I for one am excited as I have located two group homes in the San Antonio Metro Area. The book drive is the spread the love for literature and to entertain those who are less fortunate in a way they would have never imagined. I hope you choose to donate. You may wonder why books and not food, clothes, or money? Spreading literature is something that can never be taken away from someone. So give out the gift of reading. I have located two homes and here is some information about each one

INTERVIEW | Zaria Garrison
Zaria, describe yourself for our visitors.
I’m an author and magazine co-owner. I love to write, it keeps me sane. When things are getting to me I love to escape into the literary world either by reading or writing. Sometimes I do a little bit of both. I also love to sing, and I’m very active with my church choir and praise team. Lastly, I’m a single Mom of a teenaged son, who is also an aspiring author. He’s been published in a few Christian magazines.
