Rainy Reading Days
As you can see, this is a very new and fresh concept of mine. Rainy Reading Days will initially hope to create a 'cyber' reading club. It is very accessible and extremely simple. Instead of the hustle and bustle of leaving the comfort of your own home, we can create a little literature club where we can discuss an appointed novel.
