Today we celebrate William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon!

He who wrote, in "The Merchant of Venice": A harmless necessary cat.
Some of his other cat quotes are rather grim...😾
Furthermore, it's World Book Day, sponsored by UNESCO!
Both holidays are celebrated today, on the anniversary of Shakespeare's death on April 23, 1616.

You know that I adore cats, however I also adore reading and books!
Per my Goodreads account, I've completed 67 books this year, so far.
The day that an elementary school teacher allowed me time alone in the school library, as a reward for something, was a life-changing event!
Books of every shape, size, and color; I fell in love!
Have been a book hound ever since.
My family and friends gift me books, and visiting the library...any library...is my way of having fun.

Today, I am thankful to that teacher, my parents, and my siblings who all encouraged my reading!

P.S. Thanks for the well-wishes for Sweetie.
She is home, although she is hiding under the dresser, and I've been unable to give her any meds yet.
I'll report more later.

Good old Shakespeare, they don't make them like they used to. That magnet is really cool. Purrs to Sweetie from all of us. Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteI hope Sweetie comes out of her hiding place soon.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the Globe Theater for real. Impressive.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. ♥
Thank you for the Sweetie update. Best wishes. ~hugs~ I'm glad you got to travel when you did. And I, too, began an early love affair with books. My mother used to read to me every night. :) And I adored teachers who let me read in class if my work was finished. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for the Sweetie update and there it was at the very end!
ReplyDeleteOur mom used to be an avid reader, but she's been a little lazy in the book department these days. We're glad Sweetie is home.
ReplyDeleteSixty-seven books this year? Good Heavens! That's better than I ever did in my prime!
ReplyDeleteDo you know that Twelfth Night s this week's "watch for free" offering from the National Theatre in London?
ReplyDeleteWe love you, Sweetie!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
One of the coolest places I've been is Shakespears's home in Stratford-upon-Avon.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same about books.
ReplyDeleteDid Sweetie have any extractions? If so, please let the tooth fairy know so she can send gifts. Cool magnet.
ReplyDeleteI love books too. They shut down the library here before I had a chance to stock up.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Al will love the Shakespeare talk!
ReplyDeleteWe think Shakespeare was a cat person.
ReplyDeleteI read Shakespeare in school and enjoyed :-) It's amazing you've already read 67 books! I'm a slow reader and on just 2nd book this year.
ReplyDeleteI just love Shakespeare - wow, you were in the Globe - awesome! My best to Sweetie, poor little thing.
ReplyDeleteWorld Book Day, how cool!
