Since the month of February celebrates African American History and the month of March celebrates Irish American Heritage Month, Novelpro Junkie will bring attention to some books and their film adaptation from these two cultures. This is to bring cultural awareness and educate others on their contribution to the arts. (hashtag: #Spotlighonbook/movie)
I will leave clues on my pinterest account(which would be shared on twitter) on which book/movie will be posted the next day. I hope you retweet/like/share these clues and challenge yourself to GUESS WHICH BOOK/MOVIE that i'll post on my blog the next day. Share the tweets with your families and friends to help you out on the GUESSING GAME (#guessthebook/movie) and support their work by purchasing the movie/book.
