Dragony Bard

April 23 is National Talk Like Shakespeare Day, Dragon Remembrance Day, and World Book Day!

And maybe something else, but I've run out of space.

How 'bout Shakespeare quotes about dragons for your entertainment, and then a dragon reading a book?

O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!

Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?

~ Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene 2

Come not between the dragon and his wrath.

~ King Lear, Act I, Scene 1

This Marcius is grown from man to dragon: he has wings; he’s more than a creeping thing.

~ Coriolanus, Act V, Scene 4

What a terrific day!

 ❤️ Shakespeare ❤️ 

❤️ Dragons ❤️ 

❤️ Books ❤️

Henry Update:

He gets a wad of meds at 8 am, another at 8 pm, and a capsule of probiotics goes into breakfast #2 bowl.

Henry is doing a great job of eating!

Today, Friday, is day 4 in this round of meds.

Grateful, oh so grateful, for your purrs and prayers.

❤️❤️❤️

Read A Shakespeare Play About Dragons Day

 April 23 is:

Dragon Remembrance Day or St. George 'who slew a dragon, that rat fink', Day.

World Book Day, organized by UNESCO.

Talk Like Shakespeare Day/William Shakespeare's Birthday.

Forsooth!

FYI:

1) I read a ton of books that have dragons as characters in them.

2) Listen mostly to audiobooks, and I get the majority from the library.

Spend a fair amount of time requesting audiobooks, signing onto the library app queue for popular ones, and fret often as UK authors aren't published in The States for months after they are first published at home, and I have to keep an eye out to make sure I'll get the audiobook when it first drops, rather than waiting for 75 people to listen to it first.  (Competitive, aren't I?)

3) Learned to love Shakespeare when in High School, age 16 or 17, when our teacher assigned each of us parts in a play, and we read our lines out loud.

23 April

World Book and Copyright Day

World Book Day, as it is commonly known, is celebrated every year on 23 April. The events done to honor the day are organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to promote reading, publishing, and copyright.

U.S. Talk Like Shakespeare Day

Gives us the chance to speak like one of the most influential playwrights of all time — William Shakespeare, forsooth.

Dragon Remembrance Day

The legend of Saint George and the Dragon describes the saint taming and slaying a dragon that demanded human sacrifices. We celebrate St. George's Day on 23 April — the anniversary of his death in 303 AD.  

Some of us grieve for the dragon.

23-29 April, 2023

Celebrate National Library Week with the theme "There's More to the Story." Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more to the story.

April 23: World Book Day!

 Thoust knaves, books and cats art a natural pairing!

Celebrate Shakespeare and World Book Days

Today we celebrate William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon!

Here is a fun site: Talk Like Shakespeare!

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.

We watched a production of "Twelfth Night".

💂😻💂

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.
