I do like a meme which plays with book titles, and Karen has started this one – I’ve also seen it done by Harriet, Claire, and Jane. A few of these will be appearing in my Top 15 of 2011 (yes, it’s gone up to fifteen – there were just too many good books.) Have a go yourself, if you like…
My Day in Books
I began the day with A View From Downshire Hill
On my way to work I saw The Town in Bloom
and walked by People on a Bridge
to avoid The Perfect Pest
but I made sure to stop at A House in the Country.
In the office, my boss said, “How Can You Bear To Be Human?“
and sent me to research Life Among the Savages.
At lunch with Two Serious Ladies
I noticed The Gingerbread Woman
under The Skin Chairs
then went back to my desk, A Kind Man.
Later, on the journey home, I bought The Amorous Bicycle
because I have To Tell My Story
then settling down for the evening, I picked up Gin and Ginger (The Double)
and studied Exercises in Style
before saying goodnight to People Who say Goodbye.
Enjoy that? Well, here’s a song to finish off, courtesy of Our Vicar:
Very fun! I love your office answers.
Oh I loved this! Excellent!

Love it – makes a nice change to the My Life in Books one. Expect to see me having a go soon too!
If only my journey to work could be so lovely!
Mine is at http://joyeuce.livejournal.com/136749.html – enjoy!
Claire – I was pleased with that bit!
Megan – fun, isn't it?
Annabel – very ingenious of Karen!
Darlene – yes, I'm rather more likely to walk past angry bus drivers and leftover pizza boxes… but also Oxford Castle, which isn't too shabby.
Rosie – thanks for the link!
Here is mine, Simon. Some of our replies are the same! Barbara
My Day in Books
I began the day with The Worst Journey in the World.
On my way to work I saw Pirates at Play
and walked by That Woman
to avoid England’s Mistress
but I made sure to stop at Parnassus on Wheels.
In the office, my boss said, Aunts aren’t Gentlemen
and sent me to research The Mystery of Mrs Blencarrow.
At lunch with Two Serious Ladies
I noticed The Demoniacs
under The Hopkins Manuscript
then went back to my desk, Behind Closed Doors.
Later, on the journey home, I bought The Hare with the Amber Eyes
because I have A Book of Secrets
then settling down for the evening, I picked up The Atlas of Remote Islands
and studied Leadon Hill
before saying goodnight to People Who say Goodbye.
Lots of fun!
