Authors Celebrate with Nikkea Smithers and Readers With Attitude Book Club“The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was
when one asked me what I thought,
and attended to my answer.”

I really appreciate Thoreau’s quote and immediately connected his words with the event held Saturday, August 8th at Precious Memories Bookstore (Richmond, VA). I believe Thoreau’s quote applies especially to those passionate writers and book lovers that assembled; ask them to reflect and share their writings and their answers are heard in literary works. Pen to paper and now fingers clicking on key boards are the tools that birth amazing literature.
This was a celebratory afternoon of high energy sage advice, networking and earnest accounts of an author’s vision. Her vision of a book club, bringing passionate readers together was good. But, then other endeavors evolved. These activities are continually ballooning-happenings like other writers being mentored to spur their literary dreams on!
Nikkea Smithers-A true visionary!
Who is this blessed author reaping the rewards and celebrating a 1st anniversary for her dedication to her calling?
Writers, book lovers exchanging ideas!
We agreed this was a wonderful day!

Brain captured in a wonderful sharing moment!We gathered with the mission of celebrating a momentous milestone for Readers with Attitudes Book Club. Friends take note of what Charles Stanley calls a Possibility Thinker! I thanked God for that realization. I was a witness and so pleased to be present, listening to Nikkea and the Readers With Attitude's many accomplishments which occurred in a year’s time. Oh what a difference a day, a week, a month and finally a year can make. Someone sings that?

It’s really true that all that happens in a span of time challenges and stretches us in ways we would have never fathomed, Nikkea attested to that. While Nikkea was realizing her publishing dreams, the book club was also experiencing literary success. God is at work in their life. What a blessing!
Happy Anniversary Nikkea and Readers With Attitude!
Laughing at parting with beloved books- we agreed booklovers have difficulty.
