Today I’m joining in a meme I read about at A Work in Progress, and originally started by Simon at Stuck in a Book. His
instructions were as follows:
I’m going to kick off a meme where we say our favourite book author, song, film, and object beginning with a particular letter. And that letter will be randomly assigned to you by me, via random.org. If you’d like to join in, comment in the comment section and I’ll tell you your letter! (And then, of course, the chain can keep going on your blog.)
You, my dear readers, are welcome to play along. If you’d
like me to assign you a letter, please comment below. You can participate even
if you don’t have a blog—just leave your favorites in the comments.
My randomly assigned letter was “G,” and here are my
favorites beginning with that letter:
Favorite author:
Elizabeth Gaskell. I have a couple of favorite “G” authors, but I think
Elizabeth Gaskell ranks first. I’ve read North and South and Cranford,
and have Wives and Daughters on my TBR pile.
Favorite song: “Gonna Get Over You,” Sara Bareilles. This
was the hardest category to choose, but Sara is one of my favorite singer
songwriters, so she gets the nod.
Favorite film: The Great Mouse Detective. I love this
animated movie starring a Sherlock-Holmesian mouse. Ratigan, the villain, is
voiced by Vincent Price. Great fun.
Favorite object: My girth, which keeps the saddle on
my horse, is definitely one of my favorite objects!

OK, who wants a letter?
