More Fun with Filling in the Blanks


 My writing corner!

Hello, hello! How are you all this fine Tuesday night/Wednesday morning (whenever you read this)? I'm still loving my job, still trying to get my head in the game with Morning Glory (but I'm sensing a breakthrough if I could just focus a bit more! Research and daydreaming seem promising...), and still navigating the ins and outs of living on my own. It's all good. :)

I should have some more blog reviews for you all soon, as I'm participating in some August blog tours, and apparently I can't seem to stop reading when I should be writing...but I digress. I'm also participating in the Writing Process Blog Tour that's been making the rounds, so be looking for that post on Monday!

Anyway, I saw that Kara of Flowers of Quiet Happiness decided to do a retake of the book-themed Mad Libs post from last fall, so I thought I'd do the same, because it's just so fun! Here's the link to the last one I did: Fun with Filling in the Blanks. Here's the link to Kara's latest post: Mad Libs with Books :: Second Edition. And here's the link to the original outline from Books and Movies: Bookish Mad Libs.

***

I filled in the following blanks with titles of books I've read so far this year.

In school I was: Full Steam Ahead

People Might be Surprised I'm: The Dancing Master

(If dancing around my apartment counts, which it totally should.)

I will never be: Fairchild's Lady

(Sad but true...)

My fantasy job is: Uncovering Cobbogoth

(I mean, that is pretty fantastical!)

At the end of a long day I need: Sweet Mountain Music

I hate it when: Love Gone Wild

Wish I had: A Hero's Promise

My family reunions are: Out of the Blue

At a party you'd find me with: A Cowboy Unmatched

(Or at least, that would be nice.)

I've never been to: Austenland

A happy day includes: Sun and Moon

Motto I live by: God's Will

On my bucket list: Fly Away Home

(I've sort of already done that...but I wouldn't mind doing it again!)

In my next life I want to be: The Weather Girl

***

Any of these titles familiar to you? How would you fill in the blanks?

How fun Amber! I tried my hand at filling in the blanks on my blog: http://myfavoritepastime.blogspot.com/2014/07/fill-in-blanks.html Some of the titles made me laugh, both on your list and mine :)

Ganise,

I saw that you did indeed join in - sweet! It's a fun little post to put together. :) And thank you! My daddy put this desk together for me, and I'm rather fond of my little apartment work space. :)

Rissi,

Thank you so much for the kind words! It's definitely been fun seeing everybody's posts and how differently we all filled in the blanks. :)

And yes - so blessed to have a job that I enjoy, and one that offers room for challenge and growth, as well as friendship and fun. ♥

Hey Amber! I've actually not read any of these, but some of them are on my neverending TBR.

Courtney,

Hope you enjoy any of the ones you check out! Karen Witemeyer's are always fun, and I also quite enjoyed Fly Away Home and The Weather Girl. There are some other fun and touching ones on that list, too. :)

Glad you joined in! Everyone has such creative match-ups. :)
