(I took it literally. )
Congratulations!
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

You will need to decide what you are going to wear on your head during your reign - it's a Member of the Month tradition! A basket of apples? A headpiece made of bookmarks? Your own selection?

I thought I might share a few things about myself, so here we go:
- I'm a pretty private person.
- I live in South Africa.
- I know 4 languages to different degrees of fluency.
- I despise racism and prejudice of any kind.
- I like watching K-drama (Korean dramas)
- I have a cat and a tortoise.
- I love spicy and savory foods.

Thank you for sharing more about yourself, despite your being a private person. I am curious, though, if you can share about your screen name. That is if it is not too private.
Again, Congratulations! You MOTM inspire me.

Thank you so much for your great comment.Miriam Molina wrote:Congratulations, StoppoppingtheP! I first met you via your 4-star review of Children of Covenant, then BOTD. I read the book because it was free and because of the good rating you gave. Both the book and your review deserve 4 stars. In that review, you mentioned that you despised prejudices (although you sometimes succumbed, like the rest of us mortals).

My screen name is StoppoppingtheP. This is because I used to read a lot of books by indie authors on some online websites, and many of them had a repetitive way of writing. One thing that so many of them would do was to write the sentence: "'Yup', she said, popping the P", or something to this effect.
I eventually got so annoyed at reading this sentence over and over in these books because it made the writing less original and imaginative. So that's the short story of my screen name. I know that it's a strange name, but that was the mood I was in at that time. If I had to change it I don't know what I would choose now.
