Gifted with an incredible imagination, Erin Morgenstern wrote a book called The Night Circus. A book like no other. Except then I read Death in the House of Life, by blogger friend Roland Yeomans, another spellbinding, unusual, and imaginative book. Visit Roland's blog here and check out his books in Amazon's Kindle store.
And then there's my blogger friend Susan Kane, who participates in a weekly challenge where she writes a short, marvelous, imaginative story based on letters or pictures provided. Susan also has socks that don't get along in their drawer and are traumatized by new arrivals. You can visit Susan at The Contemplative Cat.
It's good to know that imagination, so vivid in our childhood years, so often squashed as we grow up, is alive and well in the minds of authors. Sometimes they write books that astonish me.
Imagination ~ Just imagine (sorry) what our lives would be without it.....
Imagination is one of life's greatest gifts.
ReplyDeleteI am so very happy that there are many with imagination to write all the books i devour each day... life would be sad without imagination...
ReplyDelete:) there truly are some creative minds in the world!
ReplyDeleteFun post. I read the "Night Circus," too. Happy to visit from blogging from A to Z.
ReplyDeleteHi Inger - I was going to say nowhere without imagination .. but your first commenter says it much better ...
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading Roland's books .. after this little lot I'll be reading - a shock to my system! But fun .. haven't really done it for so long ..
Cheers Hilary
Thank you, Inger! Imagination is a gift I am blessed to use. "We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams..." applies to each of us.
ReplyDeleteAnd, again Thank You!
Susan is a fine author. And NIGHT CIRCUS is a haunting and evocative. Thanks for mentioning me in such company!
ReplyDeleteImagination is what adds sparkle to the stars at night. :-)
A great post for the letter I, without it we wouldn't have a lot of things. Imagination keeps our brain cells active, it lifts us above the normal baseline.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice mention of Roland's book, too. Reading a good book is so satisfying, we just want to continue on.
I love your imagination.
ReplyDeleteImagination is something the loss of which scares me.

A life without imagination wouldn't be a life at all.
ReplyDeleteImagination is something I pretty much lack..except for imagining horrible things happening to my loved ones. I'm pretty good at that!
ReplyDeleteImagination is a gift and a talent, for sure!
ReplyDeleteI will see if I found these books translated to Portuguese. My English is not so good to read literaure.
Ops, I mean "literature"
ReplyDeleteImagination is a great "I" word, Inger....and your recommendations are always good...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWithout imagination, human kind would have disappeared millions of years ago.
ReplyDeleteYes, I also enjoy Susan Kane's wonderful imagination.
Love your header.
ReplyDeleteMy imagination has been a wonderful companion for all my life!
I'll have to check out your recommended books...
Imagination is so important. We'd be lost (and boring) without it. Sedona is doing great. I posted a short update on tonight's post.
ReplyDeleteImagination is such fun! You can have roses in december, even a th south pole.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Bear hugs, my imaginative friend.
I love writers who take me somewhere I would never think to go on my own. Thanks for the links. I will check them out.
ReplyDeleteSo true! I think creativity and curiosity fuel our imagination and aren't we fortunate to have the ability to indulge in flights of fancy! I'm interested in the authors and books you've recommended. :-)
