Book To Book: How Katy Brought Me To An Arsonist & Uncle John
Fifteen years ago, I won the first prize in a school singing contest. My reward was a gift voucher to the annual school Book Fair. And this book is what I brought home.
Nearly two years ago, I shared the story of how Katy came into my life and everything that happened after. Shortly after, I saw a BlogAdda contest asking people to share their memories of the oldest books they possessed. On a lark, I sent in a link to my Katy story. And I won! I quote Aditi Mathur, the judge:
“The winners, in no particular order, are:
- Vidya for the heartwarming post about her 1966 Wren & Martin, and memories attached to it
- Bishwanath Ghosh who picked a brilliant book as his first one, and still reads it often, only to find a new implication every time
- IdeaSmith for her beautifully written post, and the sweet nostalgia she conjures.”
The reward from Friends of Books came in today and here they are:
BlogAdda, Aditi, FriendsofBooks and of course, Katy….you really made my day!
