"Something fun and mildly absorbing for the book-lovers"
Using only books you have read this year (2009), answer these questions. Try not to repeat a book title. It's a lot harder than you think!
Claire from Paperback reader tagged me in this note on facebook, and I thought it would be fun to try...I've read nearly 500 books this year so plenty to chose from!

Yay! Great to read your answers. I could have used The Crowded Street but didn't think. Some are harder than they look, especially the transport one.
ReplyDeleteSorry it took me so long to get back to this! I really enjoyed doing it, but it was quite easy when I had so many titles to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI love this meme, it always brings up interesting answers. Not even going to ASK how you've read almost 500 books this year....
ReplyDeleteActually Simon, I got over the 500 mark this week...
ReplyDeleteI love your advice, but this really is too easy with 500 titles(!) to choose from ;-)
ReplyDeleteJoAnn - yes, I know, it was a bit too easy. You could save it for December!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun meme and great answers. I laughed at the image of you getting to work, riding on a float in an Easter Parade!
ReplyDeleteWith an Easter Bonnet of course!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful meme! And 500 books is incredibly impressive. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fast you read. It's truly awe-inspiring.
