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!)

About Tanya
I love the author Charles Dickens and especially a Christmas Carol when Srooges maid goes running down the steps as fast as she can after thinking Scrooge had finally come to his senses… priceless!

Disappering Acts by Terry McMillan is one of the best books I’ve ever read.

I love Oscar Wilde. His sarcasm and humor amaze me. I have read almost all of his works. Boy did my high school teachers think I was weird for reading his work during our free read. I even have a very old leather bound collection of his works and have considered getting one of his quotes as a tattoo. Dorian Gray is my favorite by far.
I absolutely loved the book “A Thousand Splendid Suns” and also “Water for Elephants”. That year was a good year for books!! Thanks.
My favorite book is A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. Thank you.

The Secret Garden and The Lion, The witch and the wardrobe will forever remain my favorite books.
I have always loved One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, thanks!
My fave author is William Shakespeare. It’s bit tough to read his books but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. I once took a course in college on him & read 9 of his books during the course. There’s a reason why they’re classics!
I submitted the following:
When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness’ sake. But don’t make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles ‘em. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 9, spoken by the character Atticus
Some of my favorite books would have to be Slaughterhouse Five & And Then There Were None.
I like mystery and Horror, right now I am a fan of the Pendergast series, by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston

My favorite book is The Green Mile by Stephen King. I read it long before the movie and it is a lot better and more in depth than the movie (which is also fabulous). I love pretty much anything by Stephen King.
George Orwell is and will always be my favorite author because his works really make you think. Most of the time I read love stories with happy endings (because they always cheer me up)!
I’m a HUGE Robert Heinlein fan, especially Stranger in a Strange Land and Job: A Comedy of Justice. Both are fantastic books full of great characters!
“Where the Red Fern Grows” had a big impact on me as a child. I read it several times. I love its lessons about love and loyalty.
My favorite author is Jane Austen
Norah Lofts is one of my favorite authors. She wrote a lot of historical fiction which was well researched and insightful.
I love inspirational reads, such as My Daughter’s Keeper. If I had the time, I would read a book a day! Thanks for the chance to win something on my Christmas list!

My favorite book is Brave New World, it shook me out of the “I don’t want to read assigned books for school” mode back when I was in high school because it was such a different story. I like how you root for the characters and want them so desperately to have a better life.
Sidney Sheldon is my favorite author.
The first book that ever truly moved me was “Of Mice and Men”. Since then I made sure that every couple of weeks I am in the library checking out a couple of books. I love to read. Anything. Anytime, just not trash novels. They really bore me to death.
i still have fond memories of reading l frank baum’s oz series as a child
My favorite is Anne of Green Gables
“You’d find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair… People who haven’t red hair don’t know what trouble is.”

I always loved reading Shakespeare when the rest of the class didn’t. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I have so many favorite books, moments and authors. One favorite author is Dean Koontz. The first book of his I read was Watchers and I just fell in love with the genius dog in that book. Koontz really loves dog, you can tell. I love it when the dog is spelling out words with Scrabble tiles.
my favorite book is Snow Crash hands down. written in the early 90s it is a bit terrifying how accurately the author was able to predict the future world inside cyberspace or as it was known metaverse.
My favorite book is little women!!
“The train is roaring toward you and the villain is twirling his moustache and you’re fussing that he’s tied you to the tracks with the wrong kind of rope.”
Sunshine by Robin McKinley. Wonderful book.

I read a really good book, “Now You Know” by Susan Kelly over the summer. The author is from North Carolina, as am I (although I have lived in Texas for the last 25 years). This books reminds me of my childhood, growing up in North Carolina and I even see myself and my two sisters in the characters in the book.
i lent a few books to my friend and now he wants to take over my collection, guess it’s good he’s reading more now
I was moved by Running With Scissors. A heartbreakingly, funny memoir about a boy’s growing up.
The books that really got me interested in reading were the Indian in the Cupboard books.
My favorite book series is the mark of the lion series by Francine Rivers. It is such a powerful series, and so well written!
I have always had a heart for Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. A classic story about life and growing up!
My favorite moment in a book was The Crucible, when John proctor decides it’s better to die than to admit something that he didn’t do.
I was really moved by “The Green Mile” it made me cry when I read it and then the movie made me cry also!

Being completely soaked up in a Judy Blume novel as a tween is one of my favorite literary memories. She is an author that really has a feel for connecting with that age group.
More ideas that move me from “The Karma of Jesus”. Karma in the eastern tradition is impersonal while Jesus’ karma is personal.

First entry..
One of my favorite books as an adult is probably Serpentine. It’s a true crime novel. Not the lascivious cheap ones you might find in a drugstore, this is a detailed and well-written tome like Helter Skelter. The great thing about Serpentine is that instead of getting muddled in boring details it is a totally briskly paced real-life thriller.

I love to read. This past summer I was in a touring musical ministry for my church and we went to Savannah, where I learned about Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Our host family showed us some of the movie so then I had to read the book. So glad I did — it was terrific.
My favorite book is “Gone With the Wind”
I love to read. Nancy drew was my first mystery. I then moved on to Agatha Christie and now any mystery I can grab. I am fortunate to have passed on the love of reading to my children. My daughter is a English major and love s the classics. My son like sci fi ,

I am an avid reader. I have to many favorites, so instead I’d like to pick reading as a child with my parents which is what started my absolute love of reading.
Thanks
Right now I am reading “The Karma of Jesus” and I find certain passages are really speaking to me where I am today.
I am an English teacher so words have always appealed/called/intrigued me but my 9 year old made words “move” me. Third grade has challenged my son, Jack, who always loved to be read aloud to. Amazingly, Jack was diagnosed with dyslexia this school year and “The Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan made him feel complete. When the heroic Percy Jackson has dyslexia, as my 9 year old says…”anything is possible.” So my own child has taught me beyond words that books, even to a special needs child, can change your life and move you.
I’ve been reading since I was very little. My parents always promoted books first. I remember being obsessed with RL Stine’s Fear Street series in Jr. High. Then I moved on to adult mysteries. Only recently have I broadened into other genres and non-fiction. One of my favorites right now is NurtureShock by Po Bronson. And I love little Christmas novels this time of year. Feel good stories. Now that I have a daughter, I am trying to pass on my love of reading to her. Her bedroom, playroom are filled with books. Other rooms in our home always have books available too.
Thanks for the chance at this awesome prize!
I love the Biblical story of David, particularly where the prophet Nathan denounces him in public for his sins. It doesn’t get any better than that.
I read constantly and have many favorites, but my all-time most beloved novel is J.D. Salinger’s CATCHER IN THE RYE. I read it for the first time in middle school and have re-read it every few years ever since.
Thanks!
I have several favorite books. A few months ago I just finished the Twilight series and have to say that I am a fan for sure! They said that the Twilight series is not just for teenagers and most of my friends ages ranging from 26 to 45 have read them. So I gave them a try and fell in love with the story line for sure. The idea is a great one….passion, lust, love, and unconditional love are a great combination. And I am a HUGE fantasy/vampire/witches fan. So I did love the books. I would also have to say that I am almost done with the Sookie Stackhouse novels (Tru Blood on HBO). Another set of vampire, witches, fairies, etc. type of novels. I love them! I do recommend the Sookie Stackhouse novels to anyone who likes fantasy types of novels. Thanks for the giveaway.
I like mystery novels.
My absolute favorite series of books is Harry Potter and I am so sad that these books have come to an end. All I have left are the movies to look forward to.
I have always liked Mary Higgins Clarks and I love the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.
my favorite author is tom piccirilli, he writes horror fiction.
Out of all the authors I read, Nicholas Sparks and Nora Roberts are my favorite.

It’s hard to choose just one favorite author, so I guess I’ll pick one of the first science fiction/fantasy authors I read…one whose work opened the door to the entire genre for me…Andre (Alice Mary) Norton. Her Witchworld series had the same impact on me at 10 years of age that Harry Potter had to kids of this generation.

I’m a sucker for Dean Koontz lately. He gives life to his characters.
“Let’s see, now… in HOGFATHER there are a number of stabbings, someone’s killed by a man made of knives, someone’s killed by the dark, and someone just been killed by a wardrobe.
It’s a book about the magic of childhood. You can tell.”
– (Terry Pratchett, author of HOGFATHER, on alt.fan.pratchett)
It’s one of my favorite books by my favorite author. I’ve been re-reading it every year about this time. I got to go to a book signing in NYC. Good times.
I love almost all Agatha Christie books… my fave was the end of “who killed roger akroyd”, but there is no way I’m going to spoil it for you.
I love Our Town. It’s also a great book/play to read every 10 years or so. As you get to different stages of life, the book means something different.

It was a real thrill to hear Elmore Leonard speak last year. Not only has he written many best-selling books, he is also responsible for the screenplays for several successful films. He was an engaging speaker with a dry sense of humor that was most appealing.
I was deeply affected by The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.

I’m going to go with the most recent read that moved me: Eileen Goudge’s Once in a Blue Moon. I was going through (and still am) a rough time in life and her book could not have been given to me at a better time. A love story thats not the typical cheesy chick novel. It helped me cope with what was going on in my life.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez moved me in “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” That book reminded me of my own family and experiences and it really told a fantasti story of a family through good and bad times. I love it.
A theme that has always served to motivate me is “Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.”
I love all kinds of books but The Secret life of Bees is one of my faves. Thanks for the chance.

One of the most memorable passages I ever read is the final paragraph of E.M. Forster’s short story “The Machine Stops.” It’s not a warm and cuddly story, but his description of mankind dying in the grips of a self-created environment is beautifully haunting.

In my youth I read and reread and read again The Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Vernes. I read sci-fi, history with fictional characters, and am currently reading the top 100 or so books.
I used to carry the books with me but my shoulder can no longer support the “what have you got in your purse, a ton of bricks?”. I now carry as little as possible including dropping the big bulking books.
I discover I can put a book or two on my cell phone as long as I erase it as I read it,then I can find my place, but can not go back to question what was it that I read what might be a clue or who was that then?
I am so hoping to win a reader then I can really read as I like with bookmarks to mark where I am and passages that are important.
Also the smallness, less bulk, and weight will mean I can again bring my books with me to read as I wait somewhere.
THANK YOU.

I have loved books for as long as I can remember. One of my favorite Christmas gifts was the entire set of Laura Ingalls Wilder books. I read them so many times, I could recite them (and the spines were broken). I try to never break the spine of the book, something about harming the book seems wrong.
Whenever I needed to escape the family business or an infant sister, I escaped in Laura’s life. I have found many other authors over the years that also allow me to escape. Now that I have a son, we spend a little time every evening just reading. I hope he continues on this path of loving books. I love it when he says “Read mama.”

I’ll read anything, er, well, except Christian Fiction. Sorry, that’s my downfall. We know life isn’t all peachy and rosy keen. Give me smut or give me death! Ha!!
I created an account at Words Move Me and entered one of my favorite Eskimo Proverbs.
Perhaps they are not stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
There isn’t a day that goes by I don’t think of this. I believe it. With all my heart.
Thanks for the chance!

My favorite literary moment was reading “The Other Side of Midnight” by Sidney Sheldon. I could not put the book down until I finished reading it in one sitting.

My favorite Author is Steven King. I really enjoyed The Stand the most, out of all his books. I really enjoy ready suspense type of literature and sometimes, I’ll also read a romance novel.
Thanks so much for offering this wonderful prize.
I like to read books written by Mary Higgins Clark. My 20 year old daughter also likes to read her books, so it is fun comparing notes.

One of my fave quotes (not sure if it’s even from a book) is by Mark Twain: “Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you, too, can become great.”
I love Iris Johanson and her character Eve Duncan- Awesome reads
Are you there God its me Margaret… I was in 7th grade and this book set up my love for reading. I will always remember this one..lol
On the site, I love the quotes from Dorian Grey. I haven’t read that one but I think I need to now!
