http://www.thatsortofblog.com/2014/11/seven-deadly-sins-book-tag.html
Seven Deadly Sins Book Tag. By Guy Rose (1918). My mother and I often joke that if one were to spend Thanksgiving and Black Friday the way the media suggests, one would commit all seven of the deadly sins over the course of two days: pride, gluttony, and sloth on Thanksgiving, and envy, greed, lust, and wrath on Black Friday. So, when I saw Kristina Horner answer the Seven Deadly Sins Book Tag questions. A quick note: I altered the wording of the questions a bit from the original tag. Which I just read t...

That Sort of Blog: Title Inspiration
http://www.thatsortofblog.com/p/title-inspiration.html
The title of this blog is inspired by A. A. Milne's introduction to his book Once On A Time. I've included the relevant passages below:. For whom, then, is the book intended? That is the trouble. Unless I can say, "For those, young or old, who like the things which I like," I find it difficult to answer. Is it a children's book? Well, what do we mean by that? Is The Wind in the Willows. Is Alice in Wonderland? I confess that I cannot grapple with these difficult problems. It is that sort of book. My name...

Epic Reads Book Tag. By Gwen John, 1899. The weather where I live has been unseasonably cold to quite an extreme degree, and while I long for the days of sunshine and warmth I'm stuck inside huddled under layers of clothing and blankets. At least it's good weather for curling up with an engrossing book, so I've decided to share my answers to the Epic Reads Book Tag, which I discovered through Kristina Horner's video. 2 What book do you wish the author would write a prequel for? I think that Jane Austen's...
