Bookish Mad Libs

I saw this meme posted on Bookgirl's Nightstand and then I saw it over at The Bookworm. It was so fun reading their responses, so I thought I would see what I came up with.

In school I was: The Language of Secrets

People might be surprised I’m: Lady of the Butterflies

I will never be: The King's Mistress

My fantasy job is: Breakfast in Bed

At the end of a long day I need: The Sundance Kid

I hate it when: Making Rounds With Oscar

Wish I had: A Cottage by the Sea (Same as Iliana)

My family reunions are: A Fierce Radiance

At a party you’d find me with: The Heretic Queen

I’ve never been to: Heartbroke Bay

A happy day includes: Pieces of Sky

Motto I live by: a map of true places

On my bucket list: Diamond Ruby

In my next life, I want to be: All That is Beautiful

I enjoyed completing this meme. How about you? What would you say?

Teaser Tuesdays, August 4, 2009

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:



* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"Daddy Hoyt said the old man was crazy, due to the metal plate in his head, which was put there by World War I army medics after the top of his skull was shot off by a German soldier. Daddy Hoyt said the moonshiner claimed to communicate with Jesus through that metal plate, but that he was kind and fair and would give us a good price for the whiskey, if he charged us at all."
