Thanks to everyone who commented last week.
Last Q#414 Elizabeth asks: If you are in a stay-at-home area, what activities kept you busy? Did you try anything new? Or spend time reading??
Four or so commenters had things pretty much normal with limited lock down or as essential workers. Most of us continued reading; four added new crafts, puzzles or more knitting; and four or so watched a bit more TV, film or Netflix.
The Winner from SBB #414 comments is #2 MYSTICA who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the Updated (**Finally!) ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love and Christmas titles - all linked near the end of the post. -- [11/16/19 I plan to add some review books this week and maybe some new Christmas and Love titles as soon as I locate the box I put them in. 11/28/20 I have added a box of new books for SBB and will list them in the next week or so. I have to try to cross off books that have already been awarded. ]
Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.
WEEK #415
(One Question.)
Becky asks: Do you have a strong local accent??Although I now live in "the south", I was raised in Pennsylvania. I do not have a strong accent but those familiar with regional accents say that I pronounce "water" with a Pennsylvania accent (sounds like "order". I also occasionally use Pennsylvania Dutch phrases (Danka, Guten Tag, Gute Nacht and Bitte) as I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country not too far from Reading and Allentown. (I loved Shoofly Pie!)Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month, I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify them.

ReplyDeleteI'm Canadian, ey. If I go to another place they always say I have an accent. I tend to disagree and think they have the accent though. :-)

ReplyDeleteI do not think so.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Mystica again!
ReplyDeleteNo, mine's a bit of a mixture of accents but not strong at all.
No, I'm part of the country that speaks the "literary" language :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have an accent but when I lived on the west coast some people said I had a midwestern accent.
