Writing Prompt: Literary Reflections

For each issue of Literary Mama, Literary Reflections shares a writing prompt inviting our readers to respond. Our editors provide feedback on these responses, and we post our favorites on the blog. This month’s writing prompt is inspired by Natalie Singer-Velush’s essay, “Bernadette and Me,” and Cheryl Anne Latuner’s essay, “Baby at My Breast—The Path to a Book.”

Now Reading: August 2015

As summer comes to a close, must our reading passion also wane with the season? I am happy to report the opposite to be true this month for me. The kids are back in school but not yet inundated with projects; thus, my mounting stack of books topples over with new selections now more than ever. Check out our recent favorites, some of which are hot off the presses.
