I would love to visit Middle Earth! The movies make the places seem so magical and mysterious. Thanks for the chance!
Rhi says
ooo tough! I can’t decide between Pern from Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series or Middle Earth from JRR Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings books. I’d say Pern because of dragons! but Middle Earth has dragons too. Granted they are not as friendly, but still! Great question!

Shirley Cochran says
Tulips have always been my favorite flower but they don’t last long so Mitch usually gets me carnations.
Thanks for the chance.
BTW love the passport stamp.
Linda Joyce says
Shirley,
When I worked for Nationwide, there was a VP who showed me pictures of her home in Columbus. She’d planted 200 tulip bulbs. It was gorgeous. Here, the squirrels eat the bulbs, so I go with daffodils. Something the critters don’t like.
Smiles,
Linda
Shirley Cochran says
Our first Valentine’s Day in our house, Mitch bought a pot with 5 red tulip bulbs which he then planted along our walkway. Since they multiply in a few years the entire walkway was lined with them and then the other side. When we had a new walkway put in, they got mixed in with the dirt that was then put in the front yard so now we have miscellaneous bulbs that come up in the spring all around the front yard! He has tried to get them out after they bloom so this year there were only about three but it is funny to see.
Stacey A Smith says
Anne McCaffrey’s Pern and Alice in Wonderland and a hole lot more.
I love everything to do with books.and I love surprises.
Yaritza Santana says
One of these days I will go to Penned Con. I love book events. Get to meet awesome authors and book lovers 🙂
