Part of the
Bout of Books read-a-thon are the challenges! One of the challenges today is
the Alternate Titles challenge hosted by the Book Barbies:
What if you had the chance to rename a
book? What would you title it? You could take your mission seriously and think
of a new, better fitting title or you could do a silly new title. Just pick any
book you've read and give it a new title OR you could pick a book you either
read or haven't read and give it a new title based on the book's cover. Just
get to renaming!
Have you met Pat?
Now I don’t exactly mean that the same way as Barney does when he says “Have
you met Ted?”. I’m not trying to hook Pat, from
The Silver Linings Playbook, up to anyone. But with
this renamed title I am trying to introduce you to Pat, one of the most
delightful characters I’ve read about this year.
Make Me Stop Whining
I’m probably not going to make friends with saying this, I’ve only hear
phenomenal things about Shatter Me, but I didn’t like it that much. I finished
reading it this morning and while I did enjoy the last couple of chapters, Juliette
annoyed me especially in the first part of the book. I know her situation is
awful, but I didn’t like at all how she kept repeating how horrible her life is
and what a terrible world she’s living in. I got it after the first whine-sesh,
m’kay?
Pretty Little Liars #1, #2, #3, etc.
Instead of calling the PLL books, Pretty Little Liars, Flawless, Perfect,
Unbelievable and such, I would like to rename these books as PLL #1, PLL #2,
PLL #3, and so on. I never memorize these titles, let alone the order in which
they go, so we might as well make it easy for ourselves. I would also like to
apply this renaming to the Gossip Girl and Sookie Stackhouse series.
I hope you won’t take my renamings too seriously, I’m just having fun over
here. If you’re participating, I wish you all the best with the read-a-thon.
Either way, happy reading!
