This guest post is quite exciting for me, as Brandi was actually the reason I first started my blog. She was one of my first followers and has been such an inspiration throughout this whole process. On top of that she is the sweetest person ever and such a beautiful woman inside and out. Without further ado, here she is: Ritual I was so flattered when Kaylia asked me to guest post for her. You see, she's one of my favorite sources of inspiration and honesty on the great big blogosphere. I was sipping tea, trying to decide what to write and feeling more unsure of myself than ever. It's been a bit like that lately in my world. When moments like those overwhelm me, I stop what I'm doing and brew a pot of tea. The first cup is reflection, the second poured becomes evaluation, the remaining cups devoted to action. It's one of the best things I do for myself all day, the little ritual. There’s something wonderful about daily rituals – those little times during the...

Anyway, in regards to you joining in to read '1984' on my blog, I encourage and thank you, and would just like to say that with a list of favourite books such as yours (in your profile), I think that you and I could be real bosom buddies! And with such exquisite taste, I think that this book is up your allie, Kayla!
I'm delighted that you like those books! They so mirror my own tastes, and I really look forward to being able to share thoughts with you. Have you read any Virginia Woolf?

an on going story of like a 'crackship' fiction..or my own tv show going on in my head..I'm afraid.
Well, for Virginia Woolf, the first book of her's I read was Mrs Dalloway, and I think that it is still my favourite. It is quite short too, in comparison, at least, and the writing style is so beautiful. I would just add, however, that her books sound absolutely beautiful when they are read ALOUD. The sentences are quite long, you see, and the punctutation and bracketted phrases etc. mean that unless you are speaking it and using all the pauses and everyone, some of the beauty and charm of the writing can be lost. No fear, though. Mrs Dalloway has no actual chapters, unlike her other works, but this is so that the book is a single train of thought. It's actually very amazing just how perfectly it is like a train of thought! It flows and jumps and makes lovely observations, all to make you immersed. I really hope that if you do end up reading it, that you'll enjoy it, and I would love to hear what you think, whenever it is that you do! Bad luck about not finding 1984. That is a real bummer. I hope that you can get it out sometime, though, because I have a feeling that it is something you would enjoy. Just a fleeting question... or couple of questions (curious me), what was The Count of Monte Cristo and The Picture of Dorian Gray like? These two books are both stories I have been meaning to read for so long! I think that there is a little bit of thrill in knowing that I might read them when I'm older and enjoy them more... with greater maturity and understanding, you see. But I'm still intrigued! Take care, Book Florist.
I just realized then that if you would like to read some of Virginia Woolf's writing, I have posted several excerpts from her book, To The Lighthouse (which is arguably one of her most popular), in early March. Why don't you have a little look if you like. I think they are like the fourth and fifth etc. posts.
i've heard good things about that show... i should add it to my netflix ;)
