It’s Saturday - Let’s Play!

It’s looking like it’ll be a gorgeous Saturday - too gorgeous to sit in front of the ‘puter. So I’m going to make it short today and simply share a link and a reprise of a little game.

Over at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, Sarah and Candy came up with a post called “What kind of food would a romance author be if a romance author could be food?” I thought it was absolutely hilarious and evidently I’m not alone - there were over 100 comments last time I checked. (Some of those are funny too!) Of the authors I’ve read, the descriptions were dead-on, which definitely gave me ideas about which authors I might want to read or avoid from among the ones I wasn’t familiar with. If you’re in the mood for funny, check it out!

On to the game. Remember last week when I posted Scattergories? I had so much fun reading everyone else’s answers, that I decided to come up with some more categories on my own. If you decide to play along, you can either leave your answers in comments or post them on your own blog, but if you do the latter would you pretty-please leave a comment telling me you did so I can be sure to read them? Thanks!

Rules are same as before - each answer has to start with the same letter as the first letter of your name and if an answer is a place name it should be real, not fictional. If someone who answers before you has the same first letter, try to come up with different answers than they did. Now on to…

    Don’t have a blog, but printed these out to play with friends at brunch! (One was Debbie, so I was able to provide her with answers if she faltered). It was fun. :D

    More fun answers. Yay! I’m thinking I might post these each Saturday in June if I can come up with enough categories to do it. Definitely not going to keep it going forever, but once a week for a month sounds fun to me.

    Wow, fun! I did it too.
