❤️❤️ Love this idea!

[dizzydrea]

Agreed!

[elrhiarhodan]

Will you do it?

[tjs_whatnot]

Absolutely. As soon as I finish all the Snowflake Challenge posts I've got percolating. ❤️ I'll need another excuse to be here every day. ❤️❤️

Excellent! I kind of petered out with Snowflake this year. But I like the low-stakes nature of this one, no need for explanation. If someone comments and wants to know more, I'll answer, but it's easy to just post a picture.

I also petered out. But I'd had admin duties thrust upon me that still had me super engaged (and committed), but not really on my own challenges. I still have a bunch I actually ~want~ to do, so... we'll see.

But yes, super low-stakes is a major plus. ❤️❤️

No need to guess why this book. A dictionary is a writer's best friend!

[elrhiarhodan]

It is! This particular dictionary had been my best buddy when I was in high school - it had all kinds of wonderful appendices -- names and their origins, how to address letters to all kinds of dignitaries, word origins. Sparked so many interests. I used to take it into the bathroom to read. My mother would get so annoyed, finding it on the back of the toilet tank every night - and she'd scold me, saying I'd get hemorrhoids before I graduated high school!

And you too? All my book covers are stolen from the internet.
