Tag, you're it

I've been tagged by Lacresha Hayes to tell six random things about myself, so I'm taking the liberty of tweaking the comments to relate to books: 

  • When reading a novel, I can spot an error without trying, but refrain from marking in red especially when it's a library book. Hard though.
  • I like to munch on crunchy things like celery when reading. Drives my hubster crazy.
  • My least favorite modern expression is "gone missing". I wish it would forever disappear from writing, along with its sibling, "went missing".
  • I punctuate the British way because my 4th grade English teacher was... English. She was a taskmaster whose drills are permanently embedded. When I die, I'm sure the only thing remaining will be a grammar rule.
  • My library card usually shows at least 30 items checked out at any given point in time. Homeland Security would lock me up if they saw some of the titles, and my priest would fall into prayer.
And now I'm tagging these fellow editors who may either post six random things about anything at their own blogs, or post here and relate their comments to reading and writing.

  1. Ya got Holly! Good job. I've got her on a two day tour this month so I wanted to be nice. November might be a different story.

  2. I use my husband as a handbag, so all the library books are out on his card. According to my card, I've only read 7 books in the last 5 years... if only they knew!

  4. Your library card record must look like mine!! The last time I went, I got home and had to laugh--I had a book on making cartoon cakes and one on poisons!!!
