        Where'd the inspiration for this prompt come from?

          I just bought my mother two books for Christmas - but I was going through a little moral crisis over whether it is bad to read them before I give them to her ...

            Nothing wrong with that.

            ...
            I read books I'm gonna give to people.
            But...I don't give out books that often as presents.
            LMAO.

              I decided that if I didn't break the spines then it was alright ... so I'm almost finished the first and you can't even tell it's been opened

                I gave a book to my best friend last last Christmas and told her I read it. Twice, in fact.

                What's the big deal?

                  My mother has a thing about the spines of books ... and normally I'm too lazy to bother if I get a crinkle in it - but I thought I'd be nice ... also - the prompt could be a "notebook" - I bought a green one for myself today I love green paper

    2 Questions

    #1: can we really enter more than 1 time and if that is true then would it be easier if we tell you what entry(s) we have entered for your contest?

    #2: since the prompt word is book can we use it in a different text like example say I wanted to talk about it in a way where you are sabookworm or something. is that allowed? or better yet do you encourage us to use it in different ways as long as it deals with book?

    thank you for the time and I already entered one time but was just curious

      You can enter up to three times - if you would like to place your username in your author notes then that would be fine - but if you are spectacular I don't see why you can't have more than one trophy

      You can use the prompt whatever way you like the more original (yet still clearly about the word "book") the better!

        oh ok well I am definitely not spectactular I guarantee you that. I merely asked because I don't want to break any rules from my first prompt contest I ever entered any ways thanksa for getitng back to quick. I like the prompt word but I will if I enter again here in a few mins place the other poem down for ya to know who did what ect. but then again my wriing style is pretty much the same so no biggie there. good luck judgin though
