The pictures space in my e-library contains a folder named Anastasia's Looking Glass.  It is where I store photos that inspire me. Recently I stumbled upon this website called vi.sualize.us where you can "bookmark your favorite images and share them with everyone." So far I found 12; (thought I'd include one of me to complete the list as I like it the way it is), and I'm sharing all with you.  A link to the source is placed before each photo. My 'favoritest' are nos. 2 - 13. Got yours? 1. Reading blurbs @ Dasa Book Cafe. February 2011 2. reading http://piccsy.com/2011/05/reading-88r2ws7ph/ 3.

A BBC meme asks how many of the 100 books of a list they published have you read.  Library Thing comments that "the BBC apparently believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books."  It's probably true to me. While I read two Harry Potter books and Da Vinci Code twice, I managed only parts of numbers 7-13 on my list: (Library Thing link has the complete list; see how many have you read) 1. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 3. Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 4. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte 5. Bleak House - Charles Dickens 6. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown 7. Adventures of Sherlocke Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 8. Little Women - Louisa May Alcott 9. Anne Shirley of Green Gables - Lucy Maud Montgomery 10.  The Bible 11.  The Complete Works of Shakespeare 12.  Moby Dick - Herman Melville 13. A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens Megan and Janet host Thursday Thirteen

N ever Let Me Go   Kazuo Ishiguro - a novel I am reading for a book club meeting I am attending on the last week of this month. Being 'pop sci-fi thriller' it's not what I normally read but exploring new nooks of genre is nifty.   Characters of this novel (2005) are children raised in a boarding school in East Sussex, England as clones intended to provide organs for non-clones. A film adaptation of the same title was released in 2010. Never Let Me Go Hazel, Delineating Des   Baby, never let me go Kathy sings as she hugs her pillow Madame watches her and cries Kathy later asks her why And Madame replies: because I see this little girl A new world she is facing An efficient but cruel world But it is emerging Never let me go To the old world The little girl is asking.

Hazel stars mysteriously in Mars Hazel dances with the czars Flap your wings and fly with me We dream, we explore magically. - Hazel , Delineating Des A note before we take off: The links are to acknowledge sources and that apart from them, the only thing that's mine in this post is the introductory babble above. Here's hoping the attempt didn't wreak too much damage on the magic below. Here we go -   1. An old charm for curing an adder bite requires a piece of hazel wood in the shape of a cross to be placed upon the wound, and the following lines repeated: "Underneath this hazel in mote, There's a braggoty worm with a speckled throat, Nine double is he, Now from eight double to seven double And from seven double to six double and so on until: And from one double to no double, No double hath he" 2.
