Share 20 books!! You know it makes sense!!!
Hello, dear readers…Are you sitting comfortably?
Shall I tell you a story?...Yes?...Then we’ll begin…
Well now…According to family folklore, many years ago in a faraway time, my Granddad Billy “took the pledge” and foreswore never to touch intoxicating liquor during his lifetime… (I think he became obsessed by fishing instead, much to my Grandma Bertha’s quiet indignation) …
Anyway, if only he’d been around today, he could have taken an altogether different, more rewarding, and life-affirming decision: he could have taken the Bookstart Bear’s 20th birthday book pledge instead.
And if he’d had a computer, he could have clicked here to learn all about it:
And then, he could have taken the simple step of promising to share just 20 books in 2012…
And then he needn’t have spent his entire life just aimlessly dangling a bit of wet string with a worm on the end of a hook in those cold, dark , stinky, murky canals…Urgghhh!
And he would have discovered a whole new world of books, and words, and stories…Hooray!
And he might even have enjoyed the occasional small glass of milk-stout, or cream sherry…
And the dangling worm would have remained warm, and dry, and snug, and undisturbed and altogether comfy…Aaahhh.
And Grandma Bertha and all the family would have lived happily ever after.
So, dear Blog-followers…
Take a lesson from the Blogbrarian’s tragic family tree – don’t be a Silly Billy…
Read books, share books, love books…and take the pledge NOW!
Will you?
Could you?
What’s stopping you?...
Go on…You know it makes sense…And tell us all about it, too; just use the comments thingummy at the end here…
TTFN
