\"\"<\/a>Join Excellence in Literature<\/strong><\/em> as we celebrate the beauty of great books with a blog tour!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to participate, write a post on your own blog on the appropriate topic each day, then visit the appropriate post on the NAIWE NewsWire blog<\/a> to leave your post title and link in the comment section so that others can enjoy what you\u2019ve written. Be sure to share your posts in Facebook, Twitter, and other social media!<\/p>\n

What are great books?<\/strong> First and foremost, literary classics are the standard for great literature. Few people would make a great books list that left out William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, or Mark Twain, and most of us probably have a list of special books that have touched our lives. Great books are the books that stay with us long after we’ve put them down.<\/p>\n

This event is made possible through the generous support of our sponsor, the National Association of Independent Writers and Editors<\/a> (NAIWE). According to the Association’s spokesperson, “Writers and editors have a vested interested in reminding people of the joy of reading great, lasting literature, so we are delighted to join Excellence in Literature <\/em><\/strong>as a sponsor of Great Books Week.”<\/p>\n

It’s an online event, so please “come” and invite your friends!<\/p>\n
