Good Evening all 🙂 Looking forward to tonight as we share our favorite book or about you :love: :love: :love: :love:
I will have to say one of the lst books I had to read in school which is still one of my favorites today is
The Diary of Ann Frank
I am one that the story has to be good or will not read
Yet, if is I will not put down until complete
This I did a blog on this evening It was an article I was reading back a few years ago but, still remember and do today
I once read an article wish to share
It was about clothes we have we never wear
Most only wear 1/4 of what they own
Many people need what you don`t want
or rarely wear
They are without and would make a wonderful gift, shared
Especially those coats to keep them warm
or those pair of jeans too, short or long
Even children do without
Yes,they have places about that give a coat
Some too, proud to walk into a center and fill out all the papers to claim
or some don`t even know where to go, where to start
Just one item if all would do many would not do without
Make a special holiday showing thanks for all you have
by giving
The warmth within , the love shared by doing you will always feel and remember
PAST AND PRESENT
~
Ole things made new
All in the attic
They be
Memories of past
Ole yet new when
Unpacked
Makes the best wonders why
Knittin that grandmas had
Back in the day
Basket filled wit
Nick and nats
Put together they brings joy
To many young and ole
Wide eyes be
Surprise be
An attic so cold
Yet warms the heart wit what it holds

So many wonderful books to read and so little time. Wonderful challenge and posts. Will ponder and be back later on to read each one and to comment. Happy Wednesday and Big Hugs. :love: :love: :love:
Lolita or Me
Please excuse this frivolity.
Lolita is my favorite book you will see.
I could ramble on about the essential me.
Far more important this dissection will be,
laying bare the mid-century American legacy.
After the war, the Old World was drained.
Our European protagonist came to Ramsdale in literature trained.
Hoping to share the classics and verse,
this jaded innocent’s exposure to the new world was his curse.
An engagement of convenience to his oblivious landlady,
masked psychic yearnings some would find shady.
He was smitten with the stepdaughter-to-be.
Was he the seducer or the seducee?
Or was it a metaphor for youth leading the old,
after his wife’s untimely death a picaresque saga did unfold.
On a willy-nilly road trip across our nation,
The romantically-addled stepfather received an education.

I was never much into sitting down long enough to read a book but a good biography will always have me wanting to read the whole book. One of my favorite books in a series of a collection that I couldn’t put down was the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder about her life from childhood to adult of the many adventures, struggling times, and dangers she would face during the pioneer days. Reading these books made me feel as if I were there living in that time and I could feel what the pioneer life felt like.
A little house in the big woods
Was the beginning of it all
They traveled far to buy their goods
Grains and sugar brought back by Pa
Then years later they moved out west
On Indian territory
A move that they thought would be best
Adventures creating a story
Years later Laura met her beau
She was so young and teaching school
His name was Alfonzo, eyes of blue
With a cap and scarf made of wool
The story goes on to golden years
Where Missouri they settled in
Throughout the story will cause tears
Reading these books was a big win

some of my books
My favorite books are magical ones.
They help me to have some magical fun.
They give me hope and love.
They keep me in touch with heaven above.
They teach me things from my ancestors past .
They teach me about plants and herbs , and how to make them last.
Flowers a blessing for the oils I use.
My books teach me about spells and potions.
My books teach me how to make a face mask to lotion .
My books even teach you your fortune .
They teach you about the cycle of the moon.
They teach you about celebrations coming soon.
Like Yule its like Christmas just a little different.
I love my books .
I have all kinds .
From palm reading to tarot.
Sabbaths to rituals and spells.
Spirit broads to magical writing .
Moons cycles to astrology .
These are all my favorites books.
My “muse” has been struggling to keep up this week . . . .

TRANSPORTED
Relaxing here in front of the fire
with my favorite book in hand,
I travel to places I never thought
or dreamed I’d ever get to see.
Within each page
and every word
I’m a just a kid again
soaring up so high,
sailing on the high seas
to places afar,
mountains and oceans
all within reach,
so many destinations
and so little time.
But I’ll visit them all,
as a matter of fact,
for I know I’ll return
to these pages
again and again
traveling the world
in between travels of my own,
from right here as I read
adventures brand new
through the magic
of my favorite books
that transport me
to places near
and far away,
each and every day.
