I am so hyper excited today, because good things keep happening and I am so excited to be alive this week. I think Karma finally decided to give me the week of good things happening. First my literature teacher is sick, which means no final grade deciding test on Wednesday! Now Dolce Belezza, this amazing woman with one of the best blogs out there, gave me this:

I am so honored to have this Gold Card Award and be considered as a great friend by this amazing person, whom I’ve known for not enough time. As the rules go I am going to grant this card to five other bloggers, who have been extra ordinary friends to me and have great blogs, even though I want to give it to ten people. Bellezza know that you deserve this one too, but I don't think I can send it to you again, since you already have one.

1. Marcia Collete: She is this doll with big brains and sweet talk. Cross the literary wisdom of a literature professor with the bubbly personality of an innocent cheerleader and there you have it. What I love most about her is not only the topics she chooses to blog about, but the time she takes to comment back every single comment on her post.

2. Tyhitia Green: What I like about Tyhitia is her love for the horror and her wickedness to post all these macabre pictures on pink font. Major creepiness for me. she has been super duper friends with me and commented, when I doubted anyone read my Blogger. Of course her appreciation posts for different months like Black History Month and Women’s History Month honor big names in both the literature world and the normal one.

3. Karen Mahoney: My LJ author in the making, who is going to make it. Her blog is full of all literature tads and bits related. She is this Wonder Woman counterpart with just the best sense of humor is willing to embrace you open heartedly and make you her friend. You go girl!

4. Meredith Wood aka Shea: Another LJ author in the making with one heck of an attitude. What I like best about her is that she thinks my crappy jokes are funny and that she let me read her manuscript as a beta reader. I am going to mention that in my memoirs you know. She is right now something as my critique partner and her comments are awesome!

5. Fandoria aka Leisa: Like all my friends this one is yet again in the literature department and is a cooky person that I wanna hug. Apart from her blog, which I totally love, she just was there when things were crazy and showed me that my life is not going to crash and burn. Thank you for that darling.

And I am finally going to participate in a reader’s challenge called 342,752 Ways to Herd Cats. The challenge runs from May 1st through November 30th. You list 10 of your favorite books and submit the list to her. Then you go and look at other peoples’ lists and pick 3 books from their lists and commit to read them. Bottle of Shine is the host for this challenge and there you can find other people’s lists. So here are my 10 for the scheme:

1. “Dracula” by Bram Stocker
2. “The DaVinchi Code” by Dan Brown
3. “Dark is the Moon” by Ian Irvain ~ Actually I love all the four books in the series, so if you like start from the first one and read everything.
4. “Wyrd Sisters” by Terri Prattchet
5. “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde
6. “Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov
7. “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austin
8. “Alchemist” by Paulo Coehlo
9. “Stray” by Rachel Vincent
10. “Scent of Shadows” by Vicki Pettersson

And these are my three official books that I will read:
1. “Left hand of Darkness” by Ursula LeGuin
2. ”Jane Ayre” by Charlotte Bronte
3. “Persuasion” by Jane Austin

Quite frankly from all the books in the library in Bulgaria I know I can find the classics and well I have the Ursula novel, but never started it. I am so pissed, because I wanted to read many other books, but well American authors are not translated enougha nd stacked into libraries in Bulgaria. Such a shame.
Extra books: “Inkheart, “Frankenstein”, “Notebook”, “The Stand”, if I manage to find them.

Hello!

I'm a big fan of Paulo Coelho! You will love this! He's the first best-selling
author to be distributing for free his works on his blog:

No problem. I would have dropped by your blog today too, but the blasted connection died and now it's bedtime, when it came back.
