SOL 10/31: 10 Teasers I Can Never Resist

For this tenth day of slicing, I'm sharing ten words or phrases that never fail to make me click on someone's slice:

 1. Cats (looking at you, Elisabeth)

 2. Books (I love picture books, chapter books, middle grade books, historical fiction, book clubs, bookstores, libraries, author visits  . . . )

 3. Cookies ( Baking delectable cookies is my superpower.)

 4. Grandchildren (just home from visiting the three UT grands for almost two weeks) I'm leaving a link for yesterday's post because I was unable to do so yesterday. Oh, the challenges of technology!

 5. Spiritual Life (always interested in how to strengthen this part of life)

 6. Middle Schoolers (When I retired, I left my heart in sixth grade!)

 7. Family history (Not a genealogist, but I love encouraging folks to write their own stories.) 

 8. Poetry (always new poets and poems to meet . . . Kim, I'd like to meet Clint Smith too!) 

Now I'm stumped, off to look at posts for inspiration.

 9. Lost items (Always searching for something)

10. Buds, blossoms, sunsets, springtime ( I know that's four things, but they're all nature related and I do love alliteration.)

 Happy Day 10 of this month of slicing! 

 
Thank you, Two Writing Teachers, for creating this challenge and providing the space and support for us year after year. And thanks to this magnificent community for sharing stories with me and encouraging my writing life.

    I should have thought of this! I have a great nephew who just had his tenth birthday. On the picture my niece put on Instagram my message- Double digits!!!

    This is a really clever idea I have not thought of and will probably use sometime this month. I'm definitely clicking over on that grandchild story...and someone to compete with on a cookie bake off? haha What's your signature cookie? Mine is Snickerdoodles-the grands all request them.

    I am in for all of these except the grandchildren (not yet!) and the cats (not an animal person!) Biggest one would be the books, but that shouldn't surprise you!

    I love this idea for a slice and will have to borrow it. I have a couple of cat posts in the works, and of course they often make an appearance even in a post that isn't about them.

    Clever, taking note of what draws you to others' writing! Books are definitely a draw for me.
