I really enjoyed Book Scavenger. It had a little Mr Lemoncello about it (and mentioned that book in it) and it reminded me of my old Bookcrossing days.
It looks like this might be a series — if it is, I’ll probably read the next one but I’m not sure if I’ll ever really get hooked on it. We’ll see.
I was chastised. By the owner of the book I was telling you all about last month.. umm in August (time flies) Sniff, Sniff. No, I still haven’t finished my entry which means I still haven’t sent it on its way to the next person in the ring. I’ve thought about it a lot. I even bought some cool things to decorate my pages with. I’ve come up with some Brilliant Women I want to write about and I’ve jotted some ideas about said Brilliant Women. But no, I have not actually WRITTEN anything in the doggone journal.
I’m bad. I know. I’m sorry. Sort of. Brilliance is hard to write about. I feel like I need to write brilliantly about these brilliant women and I’ve been just a little too "off" to come close to writing anything brilliant. Heck, I can’t even manage to successfully log into my email account half the time because I can’t seem to type my own name! See? How can I be expected to write about brilliant women under this type of cloud?
Yes, I’m just making excuses. I’m good at making excuses. When it comes to excuse making, I’m a brilliant woman.
So here’s the list of women I’m going to write about, in no particular order, I think…
Making the list is the hardest part, right?

I joined a Bookcrossing book ray for something called Brilliant Women Journal and I’m amazed at the book I have sitting in front of me today.
The entries that those before me have made are incredible. I wasn’t expecting the artwork, the glitter, the stickers, it has some sewn pages for goodness sakes. I’ve had the book for ages. I keep picking it up and reading the passages and pondering which brilliant women I will add to the journal.
Unfortunately, I can’t decide! All women are brilliant! And I don’t do “favorites” very easily or very well. I have to do something though, I am feeling very guilty for holding onto this for so long and denying others the pleasure I’ve had from picking it up and sifting through its pages about brilliant women, entered by brilliant women.
Help me out, which brilliant women authors and characters would you include in this journal if it was sitting in front of you?
