Thank you so much Jenna from The Sunshine Artist for tagging me for the super fun Fun Friday Flashback Tag! I truly appreciate it and I appreciate you! Guys, go check out her amazing blog and give her a follow. With bounteous optimistic and heartfelt musings on her blog, she is undeniably awesome!

ABOUT THE TAG

Every Friday Jenna will post a questionnaire, photos, quotes and/or a poem on a specific “topic” taking us back in time. Today’s travel through time will take you back to the MEMORABLE BOOKS FROM CHILDHOOD that have always held a special place in your heart.

Let’s turn back in time and get the fun started –iScriblr_reading

To be honest, I have been an avid reader all my life! Crazily enough, my fascination with reading started when I was just 6 – with my Papa buying me all sorts of “gorgeous-looking” books and encyclopedias. (Can’t blame him, he wanted me to be the WISE one! Ha!) Well, my favorite out of the lot was Hamlyn’s Giant All-Color Book of Fairy Tales – vibrant and prismatic, it was indeed my “prized possession” for a pretty long time, until I grew up – to read (and realize) the likes of Jim Corbett, PG Wodehouse and Enid Blyton. Ah, nostalgia!

"It's a steal Jack! Who sells a f*****g 5 bedroom, 
3.5 acre lake-view mansion for just $250K?" 
said an over enthusiastic Ally, 
her obvious excitement over the rooftop, 
as she signs the dotted line.

It was a dream property 
that they couldn't have afforded in a million years, 
had it not been for a sudden drop in its price 
after it was unanticipatedly foreclosed by the bank.

Little did Alley know that "The House Of Horrors" 
is not just an "Urban Legend" 
her girl friends gossiped about!

"We've got 24 hours before they burn them all down! Hurry up!" 
announced Sue to a group of new recruits of the "Resistance Army", 
amidst ramming murmurs and cramming whispers.

Their task - To memorize and protect 
the world's greatest literary and cultural works, 
before the "firemen" arrive.

 Alas, year 2069 AD marks an annulment of literature by the "mass media", 
where the books are outlawed, 
and any allurement of libraries is extinct!

From Rags To Riches – In Other Words

80% Deaf in one ear because her boy friend punched her a little too hard, 
she was an obvious failure at life and love.

Slumbering in homeless shelters, "poor" and famished, 
she doubted if ever she would rise up?

Hers was a life void of any riches, fortune and means; 
working several jobs to meet ends, 
she declined to give up, she was determined.

In her heart she everlastingly carried a self-belief; 
fighting her battles and challenging the doubters, 
she raised a STORM at The X-Men Series.

From picking up a "Razzie" for the worst actress 
to conquering the "Oscars" as the best, 
this is the story of a champion, 
this is a memoir of the brightest.
