Here's a game for all book lovers! I received this little challenge from a friend a while back, and while I posted my answers in Facebook then, I decided to share it here as well. When my friends joined the game, I enjoyed reading their answers - so, if you're up to it, you're very welcome to post your answers in the comments.
And this is how it works:
Answer the following questions using titles of books you have on your bookshelf (or your Kindle or whatever):
1. Are you a man or a woman? Sword woman
2. Describe yourself: Daughter of the forest
3. What does life mean to you? A thread of grace
4. How do you feel? A feast for crows :P
5. Where do you live? Far from the madding crowd
6. Where would you like to travel? Wuthering heights

Oooh, I absolutely love your answers! Amazing. :) And yes, I thought it was a lot of fun (book nerds, eh?) although it took a bit of time... but part of that was just that there were so many titles to look through and choose from. ;)
DeleteAnd now I have a new problem... I recognise some of the titles on your list, but some I don't, and now I want to find out about those books just because of their titles! :)
Very interesting. :) I'll have to get back to you later on this.;) (Most of my books are still in boxes waiting to be arranged... :/ But it's been nice reading your answers (and also Kathy's). I was curious too and wanted to know more about the books you've mentioned. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing your answers! :) But take your time arranging the books - you now have a great opportunity to do that! I always wish I could re-arrange ours, but it would be an enourmous task and I can't be bothered. :P
DeleteI know just what you mean... though I probably have just a small fraction of the number of books you have... ;) Maybe I should do like a lot of people and just buy that Marie Kondo's book and see if it does any magic... (The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying: A Simple, Effective Way to Banish Clutter Forever) :D
ReplyDeleteOk, my solution to arranging the books is... buying another one. :/ Great! :D
Haha! I love your solution!!! :D
DeleteYeah... I'd seriously need to de-clutter around here, but I don't know what to do with all the stuff we no longer need... and there's always something more "important" to do, so it's never going to happen. :P
Hi again,

Wow, fantastic! I love your answers. :) I'll try to do the same, but I'm afraid I need to give it some thought.
DeleteI've done the music thing a few years ago, but you had to choose songs from one band only, which made it rather challenging... I'll have to see if I still have that somewhere - on the other hand, I'd probably choose a different band now. ;)
