Thank you for coming to participate in my mini-challenge. So, you know the games you play at Bridal and Baby Showers? I love those games. I especially love the word scrambles that relate to the event. When I saw the sign up for mini-challenges I immediately thought it would be so much fun to do a Book Title Word Scramble.
Unscramble the twenty book titles and then leave a link to your post. I will choose two winners to receive bookish favor bags as prizes. Which means, each winner will get one book and other book-related items. I will ship the prizes anywhere. As far as I know, the challenge is open for three hours - 5 - 8 p.m. Pacific Time. If that is not the case, I will find out and pass on the correct information.
The book titles are all fiction (just to make it a little easier). They are a mix of modern, classic and children's titles. I want to offer a special thanks to my husband and our oldest child (and one of her friends) for helping me to come up with the titles.
EDITING TO ADD: My mini-challenge is now closed. I used random.org to select my winners and have e-mailed them to the people in charge at the read-a-thon. As soon as they announce the winners I'll post them here. Thank you to all who stopped by to participate. It was so much fun!
The winners are: Alison at Piling on the Books and Kristen at Bookworming in the 21st Century! Congratulations! I'll be in touch on your sites. :)

ReplyDeleteThat really felt like I was using some brain power! I should do word scrambles like that every day, that totally woke me up. :)
ReplyDeleteheh, this was fun. thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI apologize in advance if you get multi-posts from me- I think my computer is suffering from over-posting.
ReplyDeleteYay! That was fun! I hope I got most of them lol...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're all having fun - and waking up. :) It was great fun to put together with my family.
ReplyDeleteAwesome minichallenge! My brain needed that workout :-) I'll be posting my answers with to my 11pm update (just before the challenge closes).
ReplyDeleteI loved this! I always enjoy puzzles! Thanks for the mini challenge! It was a nice break from reading.
ReplyDeleteThat was more challenging than I thought it was going to be. Whew!
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually very good with scrambles...but I feel pretty good about this one. If only scrambles could always be done with book titles.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Love word games and I love that you threw in a little of everything from children's books to classics to modern popular literature.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteI love word games and puzzles, too! I had to break down and get some coffee. It's a good thing I'm not doing this challenge right now. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was unexpectedly challenging, and lots of fun! A good mental break from reading, too.
ReplyDeleteWe really needed a break like this! Very fun. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheery, that was fun. When I had figured out the titles, I counted eleven of the twenty that I had read.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun!
