Today's post is brought to you by the letter...

Simon over at Stuck in a Book came up with an interesting meme where we say our favourite book, author, song, film, and object beginning with a particular, randomly assigned letter. His was M and he came up with some great suggestions, so I volunteered to join in as long as he didn't give me an X or Z! Well, I avoided those but came out instead with the letter U which, I have to say, has proved quite challenging for some categories. I did suggest to Simon there might be a little bit of cheating involved...

Favourite Book...
A surprisingly easy start, seeing how much I love Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher-Stowe


My battered (but much loved) edition features fantastic, original illustrations by Jenny Nystrom-Stoopendaal



Favourite Author...
Hmm, a trickier one until I switched to first names and remembered Umberto Eco - my favourite being this

Have to say I did struggle a bit with Foucault's Pendulum though...

Favourite Song...
This classic popped into my head when thinking about songs and stopped me from coming up with anything else





Favourite Film...
I know the original French film is 'Intouchables', but translated into English it begins with a 'U' (I did say there'd be some cheating involved!). A really lovely, bittersweet comedy...



Favourite Object...
This may well be the biggest cheat of all but I love this UTTERLY adorable butterfly my younger daughter drew at nursery when she was four


What was I to do? I'm not exactly in love with my umbrella!

This has been a great idea and fun to think around, so thank you for coming up with it, Simon! I'm off to have a look at other people's letters now..

    Impressive work with 'U'! I'd have come UNSTUCK (hahaha) much earlier.

    Great choices! U was much harder than O (which is what I got); I'm very impressed at your unique list. :)

      Thank you - you have some great choices too! I particularly love your Origami Yoda and agree that thinking of an object was surprisingly difficult (hence my complete cheat...)

    I kinda told the expert ProfessorVenom69 that I am going to recommend him everywhere. He helped me catch my cheating husband and assisted me in getting evidences for the divorce, He has been cheating on me with one of his co-workers for almost 2 years, I just had to do something about it so I contacted ProfessorVenom69 via gmail who helped me gain access to his emails, Social media, chats, calls and messages, I also was able to track his live location which was how I actually caught him with the home wrecker. It ended well for me though, I am good on my own now knowing I am free from his deception and tricks. If you are in a similar situation you can contact him at ProfessorVenom69 @ gmail. Com for help. You can trust him
