25 Random Things from ‘Maidens’: A Countdown

by scs on August 1, 2009 · 2 comments

picture-22Today I’m starting a countdown of “25 Random Things” from Ophelia Joined the Group Maidens Who Don’t Float. I’ll post them on the book’s Facebook page (which you can see on the right side of this page, below), and on Twitter (search for #fblit). Each day, I’ll post one short line, snippet, pic, thingy from the book to give you a taste of what you’ll find on August 25th, when you can see the book for yourself.

It’s an homage, if you will, to those wacky lists people wrote about themselves so long ago in Facebook world…maybe 6 whole months ago? But I promise, there will be much less TMI.

Pay attention to these “things”: at the end (on 8/25) we’ll be giving some books away to people who can tell us to what wonderful works of classic lit these lines refer. Please feel free to discuss, ask questions and wreak havoc in the comments.

These things come from every section of the book–everybody from John Milton to Jane Austen, Hester Prynne to Miss Havisham–and of course, expect more Shakespeare. Which reminds me, I need to get started with number 25! Enjoy.
