A Book By Any Other Name…Bad
Welcome to this week’s A Book By Any Other Name!
I can think of a lot of titles with the word ‘bad’ in it, so I think you can reach the goal this week. Remember, these don’t have to be books you have read.
The game works like this: Each week I will choose a word and offer a few titles that I’ve come up with containing that word in the title. Then it’s your turn to come up with book titles containing the same word, without duplication (yes, that includes my titles.) I would also like the author, but that is just so I can find the book if I want to read it.
The current challenge: I challenge you all to reach 25 titles containing the weekly word by midnight Friday, (with no more than 10 titles commented per person and not including *my* titles in the total.)
My forfeit? I think for this first challenge, I’ll offer up one of my favourite poems that I’ve written: “Coffee Shop Poet Wannabe? Ah, but that’s not all. I have in my possession a story I wrote in second grade that I am willing to type up - errors and all - and post here along with my poem if you can reach the goal.
If you don’t reach the goal, we’ll try again next week. If you reach the goal, I’ll have a brand new challenge for you next Monday along with a new forfeit (I’ll think of something really good).
(If you’re feeling pouty about the five titles per person limit, why not get a friend to come and comment as well? The more, the merrier.)
