Welcome to your hour 5 Read-a-Thon Challenge!
Your challenge is to make a book sentence. What is a book sentence you ask? Well… a book sentence is a sentence made up of book titles!
Here are two examples:
1 – My sweet Audrina we’ll meet again before I say goodbye.
2 – America hold tight the second time around.
For this challenge you will use book titles to form a complete sentence, and then take a picture of your sentence and post it to your blog, facebook or twitter account and then come back and fill out the linky with your link.
Rules:
* Because you’ll be taking a picture, no ebooks allowed. Sorry!
* Book titles ONLY. You may not use author names or add/remove words to a title. This is what makes the challenge a challenge, verbs are hard to come by!
* Use a minimum of 3 books.
* Take a picture and post to your blog, facebook or twitter account.
* Come back here and leave your link in the correct linky
It’s ok if the sentences don’t make perfect sense, that’s part of the fun!
I’ll be offering 2 prizes for this challenge
* Prize 1 for US Readers – Partials by Dan Wells
* Prize 2 for International Readers (open to anywhere The Book Depository ships to) – one book, up to $15 from The Book Depository
The challenge will be open for 3 hours (Hours 5-7).
Please make sure you enter the correct linky!
US READERS USE THIS LINKY! (Partials by Dan Wells)
INTERNATIONAL READERS USE THIS LINKY! (1 book up to $15 from The Book Depository)
I’ll be picking 1 winner randomly from each group and I will notify you on your blog/twitter/facebook (where ever you posted your picture).
Good Luck!
That was FUN! :)
I don’t have a blog but I posted my picture to my facebook page. My sentence isn’t perfect, but it works. :)
This was quite fun to do. I was lucky to find a pretty awesome verb titled book to use.

Super-fun challenge!!! I posted mine, but then had regrets since I used “Girl of Nightmares” in it and it outed me to the fact I haven’t mailed it to you yet! :( LOL Perhaps I will use one of my breaks to mail it ::hides face in shame::
No worries! I’m cool like that!
I’ve always liked this challenge. I had several sentences to chose from but finally went with “My Fair Captain Snared The Vampire’s Heart” Sounds like a good premise for a book too!
This is one of my favorite mini challenges… off to peek at the books and see what I can come up with. :D
Fun!!!
awww I cant do this one :( I’m only doing ebooks for this challenge, as I’m not at home..so no access to my actual books.
*le sigh*

Heehee awesome! That was a great break lol!
I’m so glad someone did this challenge, its one of my favs!
I love this challenge, there are always so many fun results. :)
GReat sentences Kimberly LOL you are doing great. Keep up the great work. Hmm perhaps there should be a food shot or people shot hint hint LOL
Sorry no people shot (trust me you don’t want to see that)! But I’ll put a brownie shot up on twitter for you!
This is my favorite mini challenge every time, I’m so glad it was here again! Thanks for hosting, and great progress!

Thanks! The challenge was handed down to me and I was happy to accept.
Another very clever challenge that got your brain working, haha :)
I love this challenge! Especially fun when I’m not around my own books.
So fun! I remember seeing this on Kate’s blog for previous readathons. I hope mine isn’t disqualified – I didn’t use the series name in my sentence. :/ Still fun, though!
I just saw now that I’ve signed up in the wrong linky lol :/ I am international :P
Kimberly, thank you for hosting this great challenge! I have always loved this idea of book sentences, but have never actually done one. You and the entries have all inspired me to try. :)
Sorry I did not see that there are different linky for US and other. So I only count for international readers
… it was great fun looking for books to make a sentence, not that easy. Thanks for this break from reading. Sorry that my example is in german only
That was fun! Now I need to see what everyone else came up with.
That was so fun. I made two and couldn’t decide which one to post so I posted both. You’ll find them at the 11:55 update on my thon post linked in the linky.
I never got a reply to my email with my address and stuff, so I thought I’d just check you got it…
