Task 1:  Nominate someone for sainthood.  Who?  Why?

 

 

Taking note of the recent debacle with Nora Roberts and Tomi Adeyemi I would have to nominate Nora Roberts. I thought she was extremely tolerant and classy in how she dealt with the unfounded claims of plagiarism. 

 

 

Task 2: St Andrew is revered in many countries, particularly in Eastern Europe, where he worked as a Christian missionary, long before his relics were brought to Scotland centuries later. – Tell us: Is there a book (regardless whether fiction or nonfiction) for which you would basically walk up to strangers and tell them: “Read this!”? What would you say and do to get people to read that particular book?

 

 

I don't really do this as most of the books I like others I know IRL would not appreciate. I dd introduce my sister to the Others series and bought her Written in Red, Murder of Crows and Vision in Silver. Other than that I don't push books onto others as I would find it off-putting myself.

 

 

Task 3: Legend has it that the saltire or St. Andrew’s cross (white on an azure background) – which constitutes the national flag of Scotland – originated as a cloud formation, symbolizing St. Andrew’s being crucified on an X-shaped cross rather than an upright one.  Do you have any pictures of unusual cloud formations?  If so, share them with us!

 

 

I love this pic of Tabs, she looks so peaceful and content. The clouds look ominous, like waves rolling in, dark times followed as she passed away a few weeks after this photo was taken.

 

 

Task 4: The town of St. Andrews, where the saint’s bones ended up in the course of the spread of Christianity to Scotland, is also famous for its golf course and tournament.  List your 3 favorite books where golf is key to the plot.

 

 

No books about golfing for me I'm afraid for I'll have to pass on this one.

 

 

Book: Andrew was the first apostle; read the first book in a series. OR:  Andrew and Peter were brothers; read a book about brothers. OR: Read books about or set in Scotland or by a Scottish author, or set in Charleston, South Carolina (which is where the celebrations as we know them today began – by a group of Scottish expats – according to scotland.org).
