Thanks to Hattie from Books Make Me Happy for nominating me. Normally, I don't pass on these awards because I haven't the time to, but I'm making time today.
7 Things:
I write poems, short stories, and have 3 unfinished novels.
I love big cities.
I love to read books -- all kinds, though lately a lot of historical fiction.
I'm finally in a book club that has lasted more than 3 months.
I love my family, and my little girls is getting so tall!
I want to inspire others to read more poetry.
It's the little things that make me happiest -- a bouquet of sunflowers, orchids, etc., putting away the dishes before I get to them, watching my little girl laugh, hanging out with friends over good coffee or wine and dessert (anything chocolate, really).
Bloggers Who Inspire Me; I'm limiting myself to 7:
Rhapsody in Books because she challenges me to read more YA and nonfiction
Bermudaonion because she's always so kind and comments on everyone's blogs
Book Chatter because she loves those dark stories that I love.
Diary of an Eccentric because she's as passionate as I am about Jane Austen and war-related fiction -- nevermind I've known her in real life for more than a decade.
Unabridged Chick because she's passionate about historical fiction and has great taste.
Caribousmom because she's always so kind, utterly talented at quilting, and a dog lover.
Under My Apple Tree because she has a great eye for birds, nature, and photography.
