Thanks to The Lounge for prompting this post. I’ve linked up at Musings of the Misguided to share ten things about myself.
What ten things can you share about yourself? Do you like Pictionary?
You cracked me up with number one 🙂 I can’t believe you’ve read the whole dictionary!
Yes, I thought it was about time I came clean! And if you saw the size of my dictionary, you’d be more impressed. WORDS. SWOON.
Only one bone, miracle!! April fools day is an amazing book. I am about to eat a cream egg just because they are 2 for $2 this week and I cannot walk past them!!
I’ve never had a Creme Egg. Hubby LUURVES them though.
The whole dictionary? I love the rhyming list, though. Nice.
Well, just the word entries. I didn’t read the preamble-y pages i-xxii. Well, some of it.
I am against pictionary as well. I love that auto correct wanted to change pictionary to dictionary. I also love that you have read the dictionary. I may be a little jealous. My dad also read the dictionary.
I cannot draw. I hate to lose. Pictionary is a game that involves drawing. The conclusion is inevitable! And do it. Read the dictionary. A letter a night. You’ll be done in less than a month!
You sure do rhyme well – and WOW to reading the entire dictionary, I tried it but then think got distracted. I know you LOVE chocolate! Pictionary is great for a drinking game. I’m also a stickler for time x
Pictionary as a drinking game – I like it. Because I rarely drink now, and it might make everyone else play worse! BRILLIANT.
Read the entire dictionary?? Wow! I tried when I was younger but gave up after a few pages 🙂
Oh and I’m not a fan of losing either…too competitive. Enjoyed learning some things about you…
Try again! It’s fun. You get on a roll. Gearing myself to read the Historical Thesaurus of the OED now… and thanks!
I love Pictionary. My son will either colour in the thing I can’t guess or redraw the exact same thing. He never wins…
Oooh, perhaps I could enjoy Pictionary if I play against my 3yo! GENIUS!
I love the rhyming. I am accident prone and have the worse coordination ever but have only ever broken my toe. And reading the whole dictionary? That is dedication!
I’ve ALMOST broken my toe. So, so close. But I have actually broken my thumb. The week before my year ten netball grand final. GUTTED. (Clearly. I’m still not over it!)
Wow, the whole dictionary?? I’m very impressed!
Thanks! It sounds more impressive than it really is. It’s like reading a text book for uni.
Why did you read the entire dictionary? I am full of admiration but am trying to figure out… why? Did it have a good surprise ending?
Just to know the words. And remind myself that language is constantly changing. It was interesting to see what’s still in there and what hasn’t made it yet.
I loved April Fools Day. I just finished reading his last book Jack of Diamonds last night and it was a bitter sweet. I teared a up little reading the acknowledgements at the end of it too.
Thanks for linking up with us at The Lounge!
I haven’t read that one yet. I actually haven’t read many Courtenay books – I loved April Fools Day, then was disappointed by the next few I read and so gave up for a while. Might try JoD – thanks for the tip!
I haven’t read April Fools Day! Will look into getting it as I need to start loading more books on my Kindle.
And to reiterate what Pinky said, “Why? Why the entire dictionary?” 😉
Definitely get it. Or you can borrow my threadbare copy if you like! (I will want it back though…)
And I respond with “Why not? Why not read the entire dictionary?”
Oh that book was great and so touching.
Certainly was. Is. I re-read it all the time!
