A book with a dedication
 
What is a dedication? Often times, authors dedicate their books to family, friends, or even someone famous. You’ll usually find these dedications within the first few pages of a book, right before the story begins. Sometimes, these dedications are really simple and are just a name or a set of initials. Other times , they’re humorous, witty, or might even make us cry. (Just for fun, check out this amazing collection of dedications.) It’s up to you which sort of dedication you’re going to pick for this prompt!

If you find an author who has been especially creative with their dedication, don’t forget to share it with the rest of us on Facebook, Instagram, or in the Goodreads Group! #the52bookclub2023
