Hello folks! I find that having to sort through blogs for a review of a particular book amongst many other articles can be frustrating. Search engines can be of some help. Nonetheless I’ve decided to make a gallery where you can easily spot the covers of the books I’ve reviewed and subsequently, all the books I will review.
Take a ride around the block and let me know how it feels. I hope you enjoy the convenience of finding all my book reviews on a single page. Click here to view the page.
Also, I’d like you to rate my posts. More often than not, I get comments and likes from fellow bloggers, but a precious few actually take the time to click on those white stars just below each post to make them glow. My rating system is as follows:
- One star : Boring
- Two stars : Cliché
- Three stars : Satisfactory
- Four stars : Good
- Five stars: Excellent
The criterion for my ratings is last but one on the right sidebar, just above the Ad-free Blog sign and below the live traffic feed. Kindly refer to it if you can’t find this post later on. Cheers!
Ermilia’s Picture it & Write.
This popular nursery rhyme is what came to mind when I saw this week’s picture.
How many of you know all five stanzas?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
’Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
TRIVIA:
The lyrics are from an early 19th-century English poem, ”The Star” by Jane Taylor.
The poem was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, an anthology by Taylor and her sister Ann. (Courtesy: Wikipedia)
