Peace and Pekoe
Because there’s nothing like imitation for breaking blog silence. 🙂
Honestly, I’m in the mood to write about books because I received a Kindle for mother’s day and have been gorging myself on book geekery at Goodreads, Amazon, and Gutenberg the last few days. So when I saw this meme posted at DarwinCatholic…well, first it made me all nostalgic for the ‘good old days’ pre-Facebook when bloggers, like, read each other’s blogs, and browsed blogrolls that were laboriously coded by hand and cross-linked as a matter of courtesy and posted things that took a few minutes to read and another half hour to respond to but you did anyway even though it took time and actual thought because that was the point…
Where was I? Oh yes. So, this meme made me a little nostalgic, but it also appealed to my re-ignited bookishness, and my enduring love of quality youth lit. So here goes…
