Welcome to the Let’s Talk weekly discussion meme!

Originally hosted by Melissa from i swim for oceans, Smash & Kt took her original inspiration, and made it their own, expanding it to more than just books. Let’s get personal (but respectfully so) and learn more about one another!  Each week, a different question will be posted along with a place to link up your posts and visit other people’s responses. This meme is definitely meant to bring out conversation and meet new people. So, Let’s Talk!

I almost forgot this meme started today! I wanted to give it a roll..so here we go!

Today’s question:
Be honest, do you ever get embarrassed by some of the posts from when you first started blogging due to the lessor quality? Yes, growth and experience is natural, but do you ever get the urge to go back and “fix” things?

I’m still a newbie but wowza, YES. I think of the first posts..the first reviews and I want to go back and delete things. I haven’t yet. I probably won’t. If I had the time or the gumption I’d go back and fix the formats of the very early reviews. That’s a big IF. 

Maybe embarrassed isn’t the right word for me. I’ve had fun finding my way, finding my voice. It’s a work in progress!

Day #10: The First Novel I Remember Reading
I’m going to guess that I was around 9 or 10 when I first read this? I think the actual version I had is packed up in a box somewhere around here. It was already beat all to hell when I got my young hands on it and I can only assume that it belonged to my mother in her youth. 
I read it many, many times and it only got better with each new reading. I grew up with this book and understood it a bit better every time I read it. Well, as much as you can understand a novel like this. 
Do you know of any other book that has inspired so many people? The art, the quotes, the movies, the tattoos! Would anyone like to design an Alice tattoo for me?* I’m game. 
Check out the Alice items on Etsy, or the amazing amount of art on Deviantart.
