Thursday...was there something special I was supposed to announce????

So it is Thursday...

I don't normally post on Thursday...

but it seems like there is something I need to announce..

Now what was it?

Gosh I hate to be forgetful

*scratches head and looks around*

Oh! I asked a question of y'all back on March 18...

What book do you cherish the most & why?

Let me start by saying my mood would play hugely in the ultimate selection. For example:

On a happy day - Pride & Prejudice - it is a love story unlike any other and well, who doesn't love Elizabeth Bennet. She is a woman of strength, dreams and talent.

On a sad day - Shakespeare's Sonnets & Plays - The Bard knew Tragedy & Sacrifice like no other

On a depressed day - Emily Dickinson's poetry - she was an interesting woman and could get down in the dumps better than most, but she found her silver linings and crawled towards them when she needed to - my kind of style

On an adventurous day - Alice In Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll has taken me many times to that marvelous land and each visit I see something new

On a sentimental day - Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows - Harry has come so far and reflects on things in this one in a way that made me feel like I was standing there with him putting the pieces together.

So there are just a snippet of my mood swing selections, for the ultimate choice...the one singular book....

Little Women: Alcott nailed some crazy sisterly dynamics with this one. The March sisters are beyond eclectic but their love for one another comes through in every paragraph & it makes me smile every time I read it. It is also the book I re-read every summer & was one of the first books that helped me realize that I wanted to be a writer at a very young age.

Y'all gave me wonderful answers & I loved reading every one of them! Now as for something I did not know...I learned A LOT! about skunks, earthquakes, Denzel Washington, children, travels...

You guys are the best - it is wonderful to get to know you all!

Was there anything else I needed to mention.....?

*snapsloudlywithfingers*

THAT'S RIGHT!

I HELD A CONTEST...

Now where did I put all those entries....???
