I based the following on something I saw at Reactions to Reading. The idea is to finish the following sentences using only titles of books I read this year. Considering I read mostly crime fiction with “death” in the title, this was difficult to do without sounding like I’m a creepy person or badly in need of Prozac.
I reworded some sentences, skipped a couple I had absolutely no relevant answer for, and added one of my own. It turned out kinda interesting.
Note: Authors’ names are in parentheses and if a title is underlined, click on it to see my review or author interview.
I am: The Girl Who Played with Fire (Stieg Larsson)
I feel like: Twenties Girl (Sophie Kinsella)
I live in: This Wicked World (Richard Lange)
If I could go anywhere, I would go to: The Four Corners of the Sky (Michael Malone)
My friends and I are: The Renegades (T. Jefferson Parker)
What life is to me: Hothouse Flower and the 9 Plants of Desire (Margot Berwin)
I fear: The Face of Betrayal (Lis Wiehl and April Henry)
I know: The Way Home (George Pelecanos)
Best advice I can give: Trust No One (Gregg Hurwitz)
Thought for the Day: Beat the Reaper (Josh Bazell)
How I would like to die: Nothing But a Smile (Steve Amick)
My soul’s present condition: Awakening (S.J. Bolton)
Are you up to the challenge? How many sentences can you complete with only book titles you read this year?

Alright, this is going to take more time than I usually have for a coffee break, but I will be back.
