I spotted that Lizzy has started this off on its rounds again, so here goes.
I’ve done different versions of this in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016, 2011 and 2009. The questions vary sometimes, but I’m staying with last year’s set (with an amended Covid one!) for now.
Using only books you have read this year (2022), answer these prompts. Try not to repeat a book title. (Links in the titles will take you to my reviews where they exist)
- In high school I was Managing Expectations (Minnie Driver)
- People might be surprised by The Cutting Room by Louise Welsh
- I will never be Off Target (Eve Smith)
- My life post-lockdown was: Utopia (Heidi Sopinka)
- My fantasy job is Lessons in Chemistry (Bonnie Garmus)
- At the end of a long day I need Psalms for the End of the World (Cole Haddon)
- I hate being Homesick(Jennifer Croft)
- Wish I had Names for the Sea (Sarah Moss)
- My family reunions are A Pocketful of Happiness (Richard E Grant)
- At a party you’d find me with Girls Against God (Jenny Hval)
- I’ve never been to The Glass Hotel (Emily St John Mandel)
- A happy day includes Mischief Acts (Zoe Gilbert)
- Motto I live by: One Day I Shall Astonish the World (Nina Stibbe)
- On my bucket list is Havana Fever (Leonardo Padura)
- In my next life, I want to have Total Chaos ! (Jean-Claude Izzo)
What fun! Feel free to have a go too.
I love this meme and yours has worked out brilliantly this year. I’m looking forward to being astonished!
A few there, Annabel, that might have made it to mine, but they’re still on the TBR. Perhaps next year!
Fun! I’ve never done this meme but I’m tempted to give it a shot this year.
Do have a go, it’s such fun.
Interesting meme. Intriguing list
I’ve just posted my responses, Annabel, so thanks for the nudge! I liked the close juxtaposition of Motto I live by: ‘One Day I Shall Astonish the World’ and In my next life, I want to have ‘Total Chaos’. 🙂 Mind you, I think you’re too late to astonish the world – we seem globally to be at Total Chaos minus one already …
Too kind Chris! Heading over to see yours now. 😀
Love this – I read and review children’s books so I might have a go at this and see what happens with children’s titles!
That would be different – go for it!
It’s so much fun to do this and also to see what everyone else comes up with. Your desired state in the afterlife made me chuckle
Fab answers!
So clever!
Great theme and you managed to read the right book for each theme, I would say. I especially love the last one. We all need a little bit of chaos from time to time.
