Fifty Follower Giveaway

~ Mmmm, I’m a star!
And the audience loves me!
And I love them
And they love me for loving them
And I love them for loving me
And we love each other
And that’s because none of us
Got enough love in our childhoods
And that’s showbiz
Kid

    I’m currently fascinated with the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. I could easily find a few quotes I’d love to put on tea towels from those books!

    Yay! Great giveaway. Favorite author and book at this point: Neil Gaiman–American Gods. So many thought provoking lines in there.

    The book that inspires me the most? The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I know, silly, but I sure love that book. And it has a ton of great quotes!

    (I found you through the C.R.A.F.T. link up!)

  8. The book that inspires me the most would have to be The Bible, but an author that I just love read is Jodi Piccoult! :)

  9. Ricki Duke says:

    I love to read all kinds of books. I don’t have just one book or author that inspires me. I just pull from what ever I am reading at the time. I find inspiration from everything.

  10. Judy R. says:

    I hate to be cliche, but Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has so many great quotes!

  11. Kristin says:

    C.S. Lewis’ “The Chronicles of Narnia” always inspire me. :) Best book series ever.

    Love these tea towels–what a great idea!

    I’m inspired by so many authors and genres that choosing just one is difficult. Last night, I watched As You Like It, the Kenneth Branagh version set in Japan and was amazed, as always by Shakespeare’s language.

    Jane Austin for gentle satire, Reginald Hill for mysteries, Wilkie Collins for Gothic thrillers, etc.

    Great Give Away Opportunity — Thanks!

    I just read the Family Fang and it is hands down my favorite piece of new fiction I have ever read!

  16. Carolyn says:

    Eden Robinson and Audrey Niffenegger have been really inspirational for me lately!

  17. Indianna says:

    AA Milne with quotes from Pooh would be great for these.
    “A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards”

    These are brilliant! Lately I’ve been inspired by David Sedaris- I wish I was better at writing humor!

    The Great Gatsby is hands down the book that inspires me the most. Out of all the books I’ve ever read it is the one that inspires my imagination the most.
