Following my heart, one book at a time...
Fun book-ish question that just popped into my head a few days ago, so I brought this one to our crew on my Maryse’s Book Blog Facebook page, and now I bring it to you!
What funny expression or word do you use regularly, that you actually first heard in a book?
THE TWILIGHT SAGA <—-THE SERIES THAT STARTED IT ALL FOR ME. It’s not news how much I love this series and that it was the catalyst to my extreme book reading (and of course, what inspired me to start my blog). I’ve mentioned it via posts and comments over the years. I always feel a need to post an ode to the start of it all. I ALWAYS feel this need to explain it to those that haven’t read these yet, what I felt. How deeply I felt.
I always feel a need to thank the Stephenie Meyer, the characters, the story, my mom (for introducing me to it, and reading overall) and for that matter, the entire book world for existing. I was 100% able to connect to and become one with, this series, and I have continued to connect with so many books since then.
Okay so… I know we’re not a “cooking blog” but we often go off the book-rails in our comment section talking about life in general. And over the years, we’ve shared (and enjoyed) each other’s recipes, cooking ideas and favorite foods. Yep. We are TOTAL foodies here.
And since we’re heading right into our mega-comfort food cooking season, with the requests of our book crew, I’ve searched back through our comments and gathered all of our cooking highlights to share with the world. 😀
So you know how I always say I can’t listen to audiobooks (or I’ve tried and can’t quite get them)? Well, I just realized (yet again) that… that’s not true at all! I just remembered… I listen to audiobooks all the time. BUT!! There’s a caveat:
Maryse: Strange book realization… I have a hard time listening to fiction audiobooks. I need to READ them. Yet, I struggle to read self-help & financial books. I need to LISTEN to them. *hrmph* 😑😒😏 So. Weird.
Ahhhh I love this subject!! And Leslie is the one that got me thinking:
Leslie M: Ok, so I just read Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret for my “Time’s top 100″ in our challenge. So funny to re-read something from my childhood with an adult perspective. “We must, we must, we must increase our bust.” I feel so far removed from an 11 yr old girl, I could never write a realistic coming of age book. The silly things that seem so important…
Anyway, it was fun. Maybe I need to pull out some Nancy Drew.
