Here’s a nifty new activity to liven up book club!
This summer, we Corsair’s Cove authors had a blast creating character cards for some of our recent books, and it struck me that it would be a fun thing for a book group to do.

The possibilities are endless: the heroine, the villain, personality quirks, most riveting scene, best pets….
You can all agree ahead of time which character(s) to profile, and then compare your cards when you get together and see how different (or similar) they are.
