Authors from A to Z: X, Y

Before I get started, in case it’s obvious, I chose to combine the X and Y posts today. For one, it’ll allow me to finish tomorrow (the last day of June) as planned. Also, I am at a loss for both, so it hopefully will help me with getting something more than one or two lines to post!

X = eXcruciatingly difficult

Oh, yes, this time I’m going completely against the flow here. All of my searching on Goodreads and Google and Wikipedia yield not much of anything …

There’s X-Men, something I’ve never really been into. I vaguely remember the cartoons from when I was a kid, but that’s about it. I never really watched it. Wasn’t my thing. I know X-Men originated as a comic book series, so I suppose it fits. Just doesn’t fit me.

In my searching, I found a Web site called Letter of the Week, and they did X. (It’s a site toward creating curriculum for kids, but it’s the best I could find.) I found a poem!

Extra Special X
by Katrina Lybbert

Excellent, exciting letter X!
So extra special is letter X.
Fox, box, mix, wax,
Phlox, ox, six, tax.
Always an adventure to explore,
With letter X, which we adore!

Yes, yes, I know. Kinda silly. It is for preschoolers, after all! But, hey, it’s the best I can do!

Y = You Wish, Young, and Your Name Here Guide to Life

You Wish by Mandy Hubbard is a book I’m hoping to read at some point. I’ve read so many positive reviews that it almost feels like a must-read. Someday, I will read it. I’ll probably be a library grab.

William P. Young wrote The Shack. While I found some of the theology a bit off from my own beliefs, it still was a fabulous story. If you are a Christian and don’t get too legalistic about it, you might miss the beauty of the story. I know many have called this a life-changing book, but I wouldn’t say it was life-changing for me. Just thought-provoking, but that’s good, too!

Your Name Here Guide to Life by Michael Rosenbaum is a book I honestly can’t remember why I read it. I think I either got it through Goodreads’ Firstreads program, or if I got it for a great deal. I don’t remember. But I do remember that I really, really liked it. A lot. I found it something I really could relate to.

Tomorrow is the end. The letter Z. This has been a ton of fun for me. I hope it has been for you, too! Until tomorrow …
