I am a word whore. I can not get enough of them. In my Moleskine margin are numerous words. I do crosswords everyday. I read a few books a week. I am asked frequently by others to suggest a good book. I always fight the urge to sigh.

The last time I was in Barns & Noble I happen to see a man pick up one of my favorites. I could tell that he was contemplating so I walked over to him. I talked up the book like I was a used car salesman. I could tell that he was still not convinced. I did the unsuspected. I lifted up my skirt to show him my tattoo on my upper leg which is the book cover. He bought the book.

    What is your favorite book that you liked enough to have tattooed on yourself? I’ve never had a tattoo and probably never will, but I do have a favorite book that I try to take with me most anywhere I go and that’s the Bible. I have found that it has all the answers to life I will ever need.

    Blessings,
    Trish

    Wow, I should recommend that tattoo-under-skirt idea to my librarian colleagues! But wonder what guys would do. Tattoo on chest, maybe. LOL
