Book Sentence Challenge

It's still early in our 24 Hour Readathon, but you've earned a fun break.  And I've got the perfect challenge to keep those creative minds of yours churning.


It's time for the Book Sentence Challenge!!

 
The five sharp teeth bite the it girl.

This is a simple challenge, using the books you have in your home (sorry, e-books do not count during this challenge) make a complete sentence out of the book titles.  Take a picture and either upload to your blog, facebook, or twitter account.  You must use at least 3 books and use ONLY the titles.  It doesn't have to make perfect sense, but in order to make it fun and challenging you can't add words.

Now for prizes:

One random winner will win a $15 Amazon gift card which will be emailed to you.
And because I love Halloween, I will personally pick a book sentence that I consider the "spookiest" to receive a copy of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.  
This challenge is open to everyone and will last 3 hours.

This is my second time hosting this challenge, but in the past I've been a participant.  This was my first attempt on my very first Readathon way back in Oct of 2009:

When she was bad, Scarlett burned Whitethorn Woods.

Good luck, can't wait to see your results!  Simply comment with your link below.
Pin It!
