This is my 700th entry at Sprite Writes.<\/p>\n<p>Scary, eh?<\/p>\n<p>Even scarier? Saturday is my second blogiversary.<\/p>\n<p>The odds of these two occasions falling within the same week have not passed me by.<\/p>\n<p>So, in honor of these events and to thank you all for checking in occasionally, I&#8217;m celebrating. And I invite you to celebrate along with me.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll have a little pie, play some tunes, and maybe get a bit giggly by the time we should head home.<\/p>\n<p>If you were here in the Burrow, I&#8217;d ask you for book recommendations. (Okay, you&#8217;re probably glad now this is a virtual party, aren&#8217;t you?) But ask I shall, nonetheless, and those who feel inclined to offer an answer can do so in the comments. Those who don&#8217;t can just have another slice of pie.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The question: What book is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a) your absolute favorite read (one that you come back to time after time &#8212; the literary equivalent of comfort food); <\/li>\n<li>b) the best you&#8217;ve ever read (a book that was such a masterpiece that you immediately went to check out the author&#8217;s other works and that you bought for your best reading buddy so you could have someone to talk with about it); <strong>OR<\/strong> <\/li>\n<li>c) the most important book you think was ever written (a work that changed the way you view the world)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, I am a geek. But I&#8217;m okay with that. And I really do need something new to read.<\/p>\n<p>A party isn&#8217;t a party without presents &#8212; from me to you since my virtual pie is a bit flavorless. Anyone who leaves an answer (or answers, if you want to take a crack at all three categories) to the above question by <strong>Saturday (the 17th) at noon EDT<\/strong>, will be entered into a random drawing for prizes still to be determined. There will probably be knitting- and non-knitting-related prizes, however, so if you are NOT interested in fibery goodness, please leave that in your comment, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, that&#8217;s not an allusion to a crazy tv show.
