AtoZ Blogging Challenge. A Hop For Those With A Voracious Appetite For Fun

April 25, 2013 By C. Lee McKenzie 53 Comments

The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out

When someone says they have a voracious ANYTHING, that makes me stop and pay attention. The word conjures up images of Tom Jones and his eating habits

or Tyrannosaurs Rex and his.

If someone tells me they’re a voracious reader I picture them buried under a pile of books . . . some of them mine. Dream on, Lee!

So what are you voracious about in your life? I’m thinking I should go gobble up something about now.  I’ve given myself a voracious appetite.


Here’s the List and the people below bring you this voracious hop:
The Madlab Post (Nicole Ayers)
Tossing It Out (Arlee Bird)
Amlokiblogs (Damyanti Biswas)
Alex J. Cavanaugh (Alex J. Cavanaugh)
Life is Good (Tina Downey)
Cruising Altitude 2.0 (DL Hammons)
Retro-Zombie (Jeremy Hawkins)
The Warrior Muse (Shannon Lawrence)
The QQQE (Matthew MacNish)
Leave it to Livia (Livia Peterson)
No Thought 2 Small (Konstanz Silverbow)
Breakthrough Blogs (Stephen Tremp)
Spunk on a Stick (L. Diane Wolfe)
We also have a Facebook page, email address 2012azinfo@gmail.com, and the Twitter hashtag is #AtoZChallenge.  Join in.

    I'm rather weirdly voracious about TV and movies. I watch all the time, although even with a zillion satellite channels, sometimes I can't find anything good to watch. But that's okay – I'll watch bad stuff. πŸ˜›

    A great word, similar to ravenous, which brings up the same connotations. Now, I'm veracious about getting the word out about my book and getting it into many people's hands. Writer’s Mark

    I guess I'm voracious about my daydreams/writing and astronomy. The things I do for both…

    That first photo looks like a young William Shatner. That would make me voraciously romantic. πŸ™‚

      Wanting to disappear into another world is understandable. More and more I like to pretend I'm elsewhere.

    that t-rex picture is funny – I guess I am a voracious reader, though lately it is more a voracious sleeper, I can't get enough! Weird, that doesn't really feel like it makes sense. Voracious appetite for sleep? hmmmmm

    I had a bet going with myself that you'd be posting about the word vivacious. I lost, but I don't know which me. When I think of voracious, food certainly does come to mind as well as my dog wolfing down her meal.

    Voracious. It's such an aggressive yet poetic word. Commands attention. I'm voracious about chocolate and sweet things. Currently, I'm holding a daily STA (sweet things anonymous) meeting each morning to remind myself not to eat everything sweet. πŸ™‚
