Let's do it again, everybuddy!

For you newbies, Essencia Island is our fantasy island where Book Buddies come to chat and/or party.  Bring food and drink, especially if you know how to add photos here, but words if you don't.

This is also a place to talk to characters from the novels we are reading or the authors of our books.  I remember at least one author who visited our imaginary island, maybe more.

If I can figure out how to contact the author, I'll invite him or her to meet us here — and also join our discussion on Book Buddies.  It's always fun to be able to ask questions of the author, whether the book is fiction or nonfiction.

Since we haven't been here in awhile, I need help sweeping out cobwebs and such.  Grab a broom or a mop and let's get ready to party!
