Sally from Book Critiques gave me a Bookworm Award today. Guess who else did?  My friend Alyce at At Home With Books.

I guess that means… I AM A WORM. 

This conjures up all sorts of images for me.

Sally and Alyce, are you suggesting that I am in dire need of a makeover?  Do I have that “worm-like” appearance?

Well, here’s the picture (below) of the “BookWorm Award” that my “friends” (who should be sending me a tube of lipstick since I need the “worm-no-more makeover”) gave me:

The BookWorm Award

Well, this award comes with its perks.  We get to call 5 OTHER people worms!  Tee Hee Hee!

• Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment.
• Turn to Page 56
• Write out the fifth sentence, as well as two to five sentences following there.

The book nearest me is: The Frog Prince by Jane Porter. It is a novel. I have not even started reading the book yet. It’s sitting on my desktop because I totally crinkled up a gift certificate on accident and I’m trying to smooth out the wrinkles of the certificate under a mound of heavy books (crossing my  fingers).

page 56:

“… For a moment, he can’t speak.

He sits for a moment longer, then abruptly stands.  And when he looks at us, his lips twist, and it’d be a smile if there weren’t so much heartbreak in his face.”

Then, according to Sally and Alyce… I have to pass this on to five blogging friends.

The five people I am calling a WORM are:

1. Shana at Literarily <but, Shana… you’re too pretty to be a worm>

2. Anna at Diary of an Eccentric

3. Yasmin at Apooo

4. J. Kaye at J. Kaye’s Book Blog

5. Amy at My Friend Amy

So, I’ve passed the torch… I’ve spread the word… and, I’ve called five women I like, WORMS!  Aaahhh.. the joys of bloghood!  (Thanks, Sally & Alyce!)
