My Day in Books
6 December, 2012
I’m not sure whether I’ve done this before but having seen Simon T‘s effort via Cornflower, I thought I’d give it a try and see what I can come up with. Although I’m not sure if it makes much sense, I like a challenge.
☛
I began the day by Twelve
before breakfasting on Snuff
and admiring the Wide Sargasso Sea.
On my way to work I saw The Crippled God
and walked by The Forge of Darkness
to avoid The Possessed,
but I made sure to stop at Bangkok 8.
In the office, my boss said, You Came Back,
and sent me to research The Shadows in the Street.
At lunch with The Last Werewolf
I noticed the Chinaman
greatly enjoying The Curfew.
Then on the journey home, I contemplated God’s Own Country
because I have The Secret History
and am drawn to the Weight.
Settling down for the evening in Wolf Hall,
I studied the Song of Achilles
by The Garden of Evening Mists
before saying goodnight to The Thief.

So, what did you think? And why don’t you have a go too? Just complete the sentences with the titles of the books you’ve read this year. Go on!

The Secret History is one of my most favorite books everrrrrrr…. Just read it this year for the first time and am looking forward to the eventual re-read in the next couple of years.

It didn’t disappoint second time around either! I read it so many years ago but I still remember so much of it. She’s an incredible writer.

That was a whole lot of fun. I hadn’t seen that done before. It flowed really well and has the bonus of being done with the titles of some great books.
The Secret History in particular is an engaging book. I read it over ten years ago and still remember the experience as if I had just read it.

Same with me. So are you going to give this meme a try, Carl?;P

I may at some point but am making no promises. I’m trying desperately to get caught up with my reading, get posts done, etc. before the holidays so that I can just relax and spend time with family and get lost in good books during my time off.

I know what you mean. I’ve got a couple of posts I need to finish but it’s getting so busy! Good luck:)

Great, Sakura!
It can be hard to get titles to ‘fit’, but it’s fun when they do.

It’s certainly a very enjoyable challenge!

Nice set of books there. I looked at your Bangkok 8 review. Motivates me to read my copy. And it looks like I need to read The Secret History, it is getting so many compliments. I put it off because it is so long.

Do read it! And you most definitely have to give The Secret History a try!
