Right? What are the odds there would be a question that title would work with? Though I probably would have forced it in somewhere, too bizarre to pass up.

#3 was hard because there are so many that would work and be fun. Yours was great.

Hahahaha! Your #6 answer will be hard to beat. I’m now going to read a bunch of books with quirky titles to up my game for next year.

I’d considered that same title for #3 but then found a more appropriate one.

When I visited the family in KS in July we went to a place that had animals and also a ‘petting’ zoo. Little did I know…

And Lauren! Wasn’t I with you the last time you visited the zoo? I don’t recall that part of our visit 😉

Oh, I love this time of year:

1. Black Friday makes me: Shovel Ready (Adam Sternbergh)

2. If you post racist comments on Facebook, I: (want to give you) Five Days At Memorial (Sheri Fink)

3. In my ID photo, I look like: The Last Dead Girl (Harry Dolan)

4. If someone interrupts my reading, I: (give him/her) The Psychopath Test (Jon Ronson)

5. When I read/watch the news, I: Fear The Worst (Linwood Barclay)

6. The last time I visited the zoo, I: (was) Learning To Play With A Lion’s Testicles (Melissa Haynes)(Knew that book would have to come in handy some day)

7. If I were a Supreme Court justice, I would: (ask) What’s So Funny? (Tim Conway)

8. Absolutely nothing compares to: Another Great Day At Sea (Geoffrey Dyer)

9. Best advice my mom gave me was: (don’t end up at the) Stripper Pole At The End Of The World (Eric Beetner)

10. My hope for 2015 is: A Better World (Marcus Sakey)

Good ones, EIREGO! I really like your answers to 1, 2, 4, and 9, though if my mother had given me that advice, I’d have to tell her I can never follow it, especially if I’m eating chocolate cake.
