What moves you? No, really – what MOVES you? Words move me. They always have. I write poetry (shh don’t tell anyone!) and I keep a journal. I love words. I love creating positive thoughts just from a few short words. I am one that loves to read daily quotes and thoughts of inspiration.
I am very excited to be working with Sony to help promote their new and amazing website: www.wordsmoveme.com. ‘Words move me’ is a destination where people can share their reading experiences with others by posting moments from their favorite pieces of literature that stand-out or had an impact on their lives. In the widget below, I included some of my favorite quotes and will be adding more, from phrases and books that I have read.
I have to admit that I have shied away from reading, but I have been getting back in to reading. Reading is a nice form of therapy, if you want to call it that. Soaking yourself in a good book is so rejuvenating!
I want to hear from YOU what moves you. What’s in it for you? You can win a Sony Reader!
(I will have a future post on the Sony Reader, so be sure to check back!)

My favorite author is Stephen King.
My favorite book is The Secret Garden.
I was swept away when i first read Gone With The Wind. I still think it is the greatest book ever written. Amazing my other favorite books are the Sherlock Holmes books by sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I love most of Jane Austen’s books, but most especially Pride and Prejudice. It’s an amazing book that keeps me coming back for more.

Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They’re shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they’re gone.
From my favorite book:The Notebook
One of my favorite books of all time is a book I read in 3rd grade titled “Little Black Ant”. It was probably published in the late 50′s and it is an amazing work of words. It’s a great book for young children and I highly recommend it if you can find a copy.

The biggest memories/moments from my childhood are from the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of books. My very favorite is the first – Little House in the Big Woods!
When I was twelve I was assigned to read To Kill A Mockingbird. That book just moved and inspired me, I read anything I could get my hands on from that point on.

Robert Heinlein wrote a bunch of stand-alone novels referred to as his juveniles. They were for tweens and teens, I guess, written back in the ’50s and ’60s. “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” was the first one I read, and I followed up with at least half a dozen others. They are wonderful, adventurous stories that put young, or fairly young people into difficult situations, and they stand on their own and they handle it. I don’t know how old I was when I started reading them. Probably at least in high school. The concepts and situations that Heinlein introduced me to way back then still stick in my head, they’re that powerful. I highly recommend them all.

Thanks for the giveaway…My favorite author is W. Somerset Maugham and I love reading & re-reading “The Razor’s Edge”, “The Moon & Sixpence”, “Of Human Bondage”…all his stuff.
I really like Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum. It has a number of ideas that I have used over time, including the thought that you can make up lots of stories with incomplete information.
I adore children’s books, such as “Goodnite Moon,” “The Owl and the Pussycat,” Mike Mulligan’s Steamshovel,” and “Aaseop’s Fables.”
Aldo Liepold’s works move me.
I have always enjoyed reading. One of my favorite authors right now is Janet Evanovich. Her Stephanie Plum series keeps me in suspense but always entertained. I have laughed so hard reading the series that I have had tears in my eyes. Her writing is so detailed you can almost picture what is going on.
First time I read a John Grisham book…
I love to read! My favorite reads are mysteries, sci fi, and adventure. I am a big James Patterson fan. My favorite series is the Women’s Murder Cliub. Thanks for the chance to win!
It by Stephen King
One of my favorite authors is Edgar Allan Poe, his stories are amazing and sends chills down my spine! Love him!

my favorite book ever is Diary Of Anne Frank.
It is such a moving book.
Swan Song by Robert R McCammon is one of my all-time fave books and I read it every year at least once. My favorite part is the moment Swan hands an apple out to Satan and his power is weakened by his want/need to take it though he cannot.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” is by FAR my favorite book ever! I could read it over, and over, and over. It is also the very first chapter book I read BOTH my children.
What an awesome giveaway, betcha can’t guess what my first download would be:)
Thank you Sony and Mommy Goggles!

Hmmm..I’d have to say when my favorite book as a young teenager [Speak] was made into a movie. It was a well done indie movie that really captured the feeling of the book.
I love Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series!

I loved The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe as a kid, I read it over and over – when my daughter learned to read it was the first chapter book I purchased for her. We still break it out each year and read it together as a family during December – one year we even bought some Turkish Delight to have while we were reading (eww, not what we expected!)
