UP!–Today My Post’s a “Guest” on a SUPER Blog!

Posted on January 15, 2015 by writersideup

Faster than a speed reader! More powerful than a librarian! (Well, maybe a bookseller. Librarians are pretty darn powerful!) Able to leap tall book piles in a single bound! “Look! Out on the web!” “It’s a beekeeper!” “It’s a marathoner!” “It’s Superblogger!” Yes, it’s Superblogger…spunky meanderer from Minnesota, who came to the Blogosphere with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men (like fitting 48 hours into 24)! Superblogger…who can change the course of mighty followers, bend their minds with her keyboard-deft hands, and who, disguised as Sheila “Kent” DeChantal, mild-mannered (? well, maybe not mild) blogger for a great book-loving community, fights a never-ending battle for posts, reviews, and the Bibliophile way!

If you’ve been reading my posts, there’s a good chance the name “Sheila from Book Journey” will ring a familiar bell. That’s because it seems ONE of her superpowers renders mere mortals helpless (namely ME!)—who normally wouldn’t accept challenges or get involved with memes or readalongs—to do so! Yep, between her “First Book of 2015,” her “2015 Library Challenge” and especially her “Harry Potter Reread,” she’s been keeping blog followers like myself quite busy. (I’m sure Brainerd, Minnesota has a phone booth with her name on it!) So, when this kind, generous, lovely Caped Crusader asked if I would be one of her guest bloggers while she and her husband vacationed Down Under, of course I said, “Yes!!!”

Actually, I could not be more honored to be the Robin to her Batman, the Boo Boo Bear to her Yogi, the fountain pen to her ink well, as today’s “Book Journey Blog Sitter.”

Please visit “Book Journey” to read a blog post I REALLY enjoyed writing! And feel free to comment here, there or BOTH!

See you there!

:Donna the Blog Sitter 🙂

I love the way you have introduced Sheila! She should feel very warm and fuzzy. I always enjoyed that Superman series when I was growing up. Thank you for reminding me of it! I enjoyed the humour in this introductory post. I’ll guess I’ll check out your guest post now.

  Thanks, Norah! I hope she likes it, too, but right now she’s in your neck of the woods, though on a cruise to New Zealand at the moment 🙂 I used to watch Superman regularly when I was kid, back when everything was in black & white! lol

      Oh, you’re much closer than I am! I sure hope you can go someday 🙂 I know of its beauty, as does most of the civilized world, through the “Lord of the Rings” movies. I know Sheila will be visiting Hobbiton! 😀 Can’t wait to see her pics!

    I did enjoy it!! It made me want to read it!
    I saw the movie many years ago and was at school volunteering when the teacher was reading the last parts of the book. This was last year in June and half of the students were muslims. I only saw how much they all enjoyed it 🙂
    Hard to understand why it was banned.

      I hope you do read it, Paola 🙂 It’s delightful! And as far as the banning, Sheila posted the reasons cited. It goes to show you what happens when religious beliefs are taken to a level that is beyond what I believe was intended by the actual Word. Scroll down to the boxed area on her post: http://bookjourney.net/2011/09/24/charlottes-web-by-e-b-white-banned-books-week/

        I read why it was banned before replying and I was shocked! Half of the existing cartoons are animals and they talk… Some people!! 🙂

        I’m a pretty conservative thinker in many ways, and within Christianity something like imaginary stories of animals talking to each other is not an issue as far as anything I can tell. Of course, believing they can talk is another issue altogether! lol

Charlotte’s Web is great, I remember that being one of the first books read to us at school, I was probably 4 or 5 and I still remember the first chapter from that. I picked it up again a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with it again.

  I’m so glad you enjoyed the excursion, Rhythm 🙂 I hate running into spider webs, too. Not crazy about spiders, for that matter, but Charlotte—she’s a different kind of arachnid 😀
