I’m going to start this off on its rounds again, so here goes.
I’ve done different versions of this in 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016, 2011 and 2009. The questions vary sometimes, but I’m staying with last year’s set minus the lockdown question.
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 Shy (Max Porter)
- People might be surprised by The Mess We’re In (Annie Macmanus) – or not!!!
- I will never be Squeaky Clean (Callum McSorley)
- My fantasy job is The Weatherman (Royston Reeves)
- At the end of a long day I need The Sound of Being Human (Jude Rogers)
- I hate being The Other Half (Charlotte Vassell)
- Wish I had a Chaise Longue (Baxter Dury)
- My family reunions are London Rules (Mick Herron)
- At a party you’d find me with Fair Rosaline (Natasha Solomons)
- I’ve never been to The Ghost Theatre (Mat Osman)
- A happy day includes A Little Luck (Claudia Pineiro)
- Motto I live by: The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again (M John Harrison)
- On my bucket list is Lifestyle Revolution (Ben Highmore)
- In my next life, I want to have An Awfully Big Adventure (Beryl Bainbridge)
What fun! Feel free to have a go too.
That is funny, in high school I was also shy and I also read a book called “Shy” this year, although it was a different one!
I’ll see whether I can answer the rest, this is always a fun meme.
I was wondering when you’d post this! Such an enjoyable meme. Your second answer is sadly apposite, and I love the last one. I’ll post mine after Christmas
Great fun Annabel!!!
Great ‘answers’, Annabel – I’m sorely tempted but not sure if I can better your effort! The Bainbridge one couldn’t have been more apt 🙂
Funny meme, and you managed to find good alternatives. I will see if I can catch up with one of my own.
Love your answers. I’m going to post mine tomorrow!
I love seeing these each year and especially enjoy your pick for what you want to have in your next lifetime. Perfect!
This is fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed your version. Here’s mine: https://margaret21.com/2024/01/01/my-year-in-2023-a-work-of-fiction/
Working on my post now! Thanks for this fun meme!
I’ll be back to have a look at yours soon.
