This week’s assignment is a booger; let me say that right up front. I’ve been drifting around other people’s journals, seeing how they handled it and I see that everyone has a different idea of how to do this project. Perhaps that’s the secret to a successful writing prompt. It serves as a springboard for many different sorts of writings.
Last night as I was floating in that halfworld between waking and sleep, it seems to me I thought of the ideal book for this assignment. However, this morning when I woke up – it was gone. So, currently, these are the books on my shortlist: Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott; The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett; The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver; and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, by Anne Tyler. It may be impossible to narrow this down on ONE book. The end result may be a collage of bits and pieces from all these books: those things that have made me who and what I am. However, at this moment I'm leaning towards Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant as my choice.
After all, it’s only Friday. The weekend is young yet.

I've never read that one by Anne Tyler. The TBR list just keeps on growing.
I can't even begin to think of what book best describes me so I'm passing this assignment unless by some miracle the perfect book just pops in my mind out of the blue.
