B07 #39: Quotes

These are some of my favourite quotes!
If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or, as it were, fondle them — peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on their shelves with your own hands, arrange [...]

B07 #38: The Past

I thought it would be fun for everyone to take a moment to make fun of me. Go ahead. These pictures are from high school, senior year, 2000/2001. Forever ago.
This is Lauren the band geek. (Or band fag as we called ourselves…)

This is me at Prom.

And this [...]

B07 #37: Writing

Obviously, most of us are writers to some extent, or we wouldn’t be here blogging. What do you like to write? Have you ever started, or even finished a novel? Do you like to write about your daily life, or are you more factual?
Even though I don’t like to read most poetry, [...]

B07 #36: The Spoken Word

Once upon a time there was this concept referred to as passing stories from generation to generation by way of the spoken word.
Growing up, my mom and her brother would always tell me the story of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby. Being from North Carolina, their southern accents made for no better way [...]

Okay, I totally need a break.
I’m eating Sun Chips with French Onion Dip. Yumm.
And I am so exhausted. I actually only got about four hours of sleep last night.
My entries are taking forever.

B07 #32: The Bible

Ah, the Bible– the book of books!
My favourite book of the Bible is Hebrews; my favourite book of the (Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox) Bible is Judith! Hebrews talks of the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament, the law and grace, Jesus being our High Priest.
Judith is a really exciting [...]

B07 #31: Story Time

Now it is time for “Story Time with Lauren”, the part of the Blogathon where Lauren… tells a story. This is the very first book I ever wrote, back in 1993, when I was 11 years old. All grammar, spelling and punctuation are intact. Some place and events are based on real [...]

B07 #30: Book Snobbery

As I already hinted, I am a bit of a literary snob. I do not tend to read “genre” fiction, or anything mass-marketed. That leaves out most science fiction, fantasy, romance, and mysteries. There are, of course, exceptions,(such as chick-lit, and random books here and there. I actually like about half [...]
