Okay, what the heck, I needed to avoid doing the dishes for another half hour or so, so I stole this idea from The Chocolate Lady, who took the prompts from Anna Book Bel. The idea is to finish out the prompts with titles from books you read in 2024. They don’t have to be true or make sense, but you can’t repeat any. So, here goes:
- In high school I was The Scapegoat by Daphne Du Maurier
- People might be surprised by Envy by Yuri Olesha
- I will never be Dead Ernest by Alice Tilton
- My fantasy job is The Bookbinder by Pip Williams
- At the end of a long day I need North Woods by Daniel Mason
- I hate being The Immortal King Rao by Vauhini Vara
- Wish I had a(n) Ibiza Surprise by Dorothy Dunnett
- My family reunions are Skeletons in the Closet by Jean-Patrick Manchette
- At a party you’d find me with Somebody’s Fool by Richard Russo
- I’ve never been to The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
- A happy day includes A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters
- Motto I live by: Turn, Magic Wheel by Dawn Powell
- On my bucket list is The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng
- In my next life, I want to have The Warrielaw Jewel by Winifred Peck
(Apparently, I have participated at least once before, as evidenced by the logo above being in my files. But I don’t remember doing it.)
What? Me Read? 
Brilliant! I wish I had trained as a bookbinder!
I looked into it at one time, because it seemed so interesting. But you have to apprentice first, and the person I talked to about it was earning about 1/3 of what I was making at the time, maybe even 1/4. Now that I’m retired, I might be able to do it, but I would have to find a local bookbinder who was willing to take me on as an apprentice.
Haha, your family reunions sound like fun! But I’m a bit worried about what makes you happy – do you chew the bones or just bury them in the garden? 😉
That was just a joke, of course, because I like mysteries. 😉
Brava! These are such fun, and much more enjoyable than doing the dishes!
