Booking through Thursday is a weekly book related meme where each blogger answers the same question.

This week’s question: In honor of National Grammar Day … it IS “March Fourth” after all … do you have any grammar books? Punctuation? Writing guidelines? Style books?

How do you feel about grammar in general? Important? Vital? Unnecessary? Fussy?

I do have an MLA style guide and use the internet for guidelines as well. I try to be very picky about grammar and punctuation – especially grammar. I could probably use a writing class – on the use of some punctuation elements such as semicolons and colons in sentences – I use them a lot and I’m not always sure to the best results. Although my blog may not show it at times, I think grammar is very important! It has the ability to make a person sound very intelligent and educated, or like someone who hasn’t been schooled in how to speak. My kids are little, and I’m just realizing how difficult it is to teach proper grammar, with past tenses and ownership. Even though my husband and I speak fairly proper English, it doesn’t come naturally to kids!
