Every year she gives us fill-in-the-blank sentences that we must complete using the titles of books we've read that year. It's a lot of fun to put together your own answers, but the real enjoyment comes in reading everyone else's.
I hope you decide to participate. If you do, please please please leave a link to your own post here in the comments so I can come and enjoy!(And leave a link at Pop Culture Nerd's blog, too!)
Here we go!
Every Monday I look like Mr. Churchill's Secretary (Susan Elia MacNeal).
Last time I went to a doctor was because (I was at) Death's Door (James R. Benn).
Last meal I ate was A Deadly Grind (Victoria Hamilton).
My savings account is Frozen Assets (Quentin Bates).
When a creepy guy asks for my number, I Getaway (Lisa Brackmann).
Ignorant politicians make me (go to the) Darkside (Belinda Bauer).
Some people need to spend more time Buried in a Book (Lucy Arlington).
My memoir could be titled And When She Was Good (Laura Lippman).
If I could have, I would've told my teenage self (you have) Only One Life (Sara Blaedel).
In five years I hope I am Pretty in Ink (Karen E. Olson).
I hope you enjoyed my responses, now it's your turn!
LOVE! I don't know how I missed her Life in Books post in my reader, but I definitely need to find it. I love participating each year.
ReplyDeleteParticularly love your Frozen Assets bank account. Uh oh... :)
It's frozen as far as money coming out because that cash is earmarked for a trip to the UK next year. :-)
DeleteThis is a fun meme!
ReplyDeleteI love it; it is so much fun!
DeleteMine is here:

I had huge fun with it. :-)
Thanks so much for the link. I'll head on over there right now!
DeleteYou did great! My books (titles) aren't really cooperating this year. :-(
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the contrariness of the titles of the books we've read. Last year I wanted to cheat and take a look at the books I hadn't read yet... but I didn't.
DeleteOh, Cathy, these are great!! I'm so glad you played along :-). I especially like your savings account one and your memoir one :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is something I wish happened more than once a year!
DeleteI posted my list! This is fun! Here's My Life in Books!
ReplyDeleteI'm on my way! :-)
DeleteFun choices! I'm working on mine for tomorrow. This is such a fun meme. I love reading everyone's posts.
ReplyDeleteReading everyone else's posts is even more fun than coming up with your own answers, isn't it? :-)
DeleteLove your choices...especially your advice as to what people need to spend more time on. Here's My Life in Books.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a rather inspired choice myself. ;-)
DeleteLike you Cathy this is about the only meme I still participate in because it's such fun making the choices. There seems to be a common theme though - none of us has any money in our bank accounts - I guess all our spare cash goes on books :)
ReplyDeleteErm... I didn't say that there was no money in my savings account, just that it was frozen. I've earmarked a big chunk of it as spending money for a trip to the UK. :-)
DeleteCathy, I'm just now catching up a little on reading and replying to everyone's lists. I love your choices, especially regarding your savings account and what people should spend more time doing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating and encouraging others to do the same!
You're welcome, Elyse. I never want to see this particular meme die!
