Book Tag Game

Pumpkinhead

Ok - this is a "game" that seems to have caught on ridiculously well on the Phantom Fm board..

its a great way to get one's post count up..

most of you probably know the rules but here goes anywhoo..


it'll start with... the author's name and then the book - but one of the words in the title of the book will be in bold and then the next person has to post the name of a book (plus author) and use the bold word from the previous post in the title..

there is a minimum of 2 words to each book so you can't use something like "Atonement" or "Shame" etc...


Ok - i hope this catches on -

ill post one to start it off..

Pumpkinhead

Salman Rushdie - The Ground Beneath Her Feet

(now - pick a word from this title to use - and we're off)

LoLth

Ed Regis - virus ground zero

Pumpkinhead

ok....a little confusion has arisen here...

Lolth... you can take any word from the previous post - you have to put the word you took in bold...


so it should have been -


Salman Rushdie - The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Ed Regis - Virus Ground Zero

and then the next one might be:

Andy McNab - Bravo Two Zero

etc
etc


so...lets try again...

Andy McNab - Bravo Two Zero
