Hey everyone!
Today, when I opened my email, there was a gift in there for me in the form of a nomination for the 3 Day, 3 Quotes Challenge from Dream It Alive! I am very excited about this as this is the first time I have been nominated for anything.
So here it goes!
THE THREE RULES
1. Thank the person who nominated you.
2. Post a quote for 3 consecutive days (1 quote for each day).
3. Nominate three new bloggers each day.
Dream It Alive,
THANK YOU
THE QUOTE
“So, please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookcase on the wall.”
-Roald Dahl
At the time he wrote this quote, Roald Dahl had prematurely predicted the adverse effect that television would have on the imaginations of children and this was his way of trying to ensure that doesn’t happen. He did succeed to some extent. Nobody who has read a book can honestly say that they enjoy watching the “Idiot Box” more.
This quote was in honour of the quote in Dream it Alive’s last post of this challenge.
TODAY’S NOMINATIONS
Happy Reading!

I agree! There is something about a book that the Idiot Box simply cannot match up to. Thanks again for the nomination and I hope I succeed in inspiring others the same way you inspired me.
