LJ Idol, Week 5, Recommendations

[muchtooarrogant]

As I read through entries in therealljidol this week, I tried to take note of ones in each tribe which strongly affected me for some reason. Funny, sad, a mixture of both, arrangements of words which leapt off the page and caught my attention. I hope you enjoy the following selections as much as I did.

• rhetoricians wrote a story about two lovers. Sometimes, you've traveled for hours to see the one you love, full of anticipation and excitement for the entire journey, and then ... Click here for the entry.


• monkeysugarmama's story begins with her main character guiltily sneaking into the library where she works, consumed with guilt over lying to her new husband. Click here for the entry.


• Do you like fairy tales? jem0000000 retells a classic one in her entry this week. Click here for the entry.


• In her submission, frecklestars shares the story of an all-too-short childhood friendship. Click here for the entry.


• The story deviantnextdoor tells us starts just like a ghost story. It begins with footsteps across a bedroom floor, and then a door closes. Click here for the entry.


• What difference can fifteen years make? n3m3sis42 lets us know in her retrospective this week. Click here for the entry.


• I doubt that any of us likes spending time in hospitals, so it's easy to sympathize with the father whipchick writes about in her entry. Click here for the entry.


• Ever have someone completely ignore what you're telling them, substituting the reality they prefer to believe, instead of what's actually happened to you? whirlgig tells us about one such unfortunate individual. Click here for the entry.

Happy reading, and remember, if you like it, vote for it!
