YAY FOR NO MORE BOOK FESTS!
It's the same deal as last time - I "read" a book, made a book cover and had to talk about it.
This time, my presentation was different though! No more games here!
I read The Mountain Man's Field Guide to Grammar: A Fearless Adventure in Grammar, Style, and Usage by Gary Spina (and yes, I've decided to award him the Longest Book Title EVER award). I had no clue what the heck I was going to do for book fest until yesterday afternoon. I called Jereme to see if he had a possibles sack I could use and steal some Mountain Man-esque stuff from him. He graciously obliged because he's one of the best brothers, ever!
Then, I went to DI today and bought me a flannel shirt for $2 (two dollah, Ashley, two dollah!). I went to my first class packing all of my gear (wearing hiking boots), and then on to book fest where I braided my hair and introduced myself as the Mountain Man Guide to Grammar!
I talked about the author for a bit, and then explained what a possible's sack was, and showed off the one I borrowed from Jereme (and his really cool home-made canteen that everyone was impressed with!) and then I made the coolest connection ever. And here's where it got interesting.
Remember how I said I had no clue what I was going to do until yesterday afternoon?? That's a bit of a lie. I fine tuned it as I was setting up this afternoon. HAHAHA. Oops. As I was setting up my possibles sack display, I realized that the book was actually your own personal possibles sack (say that 4 times fast, I dare you) when it comes to writing!
*angels singing my praise*
Sister Hawker seemed impressed and apparently I am one dang cute Mountain Man.
Things that induce laughter/smiles/happy feelings in me today:
1. My blanket. (You know it's a bad day when the blanket is number one on here...)
2. Sappy music that can make you cry when you know you need to but just can't seem to make it happen on your own.
3. Leslie's amazing photography skills. (There will be a post about this soon, I promise.)
