"Title Teasers" Mini Challenge

By now, most of you have been reading all day and into the night.  How are you holding up?  I thought I'd offer up a fun, fairly easy mini-challenge for you.  This challenge will last 3 hours, so you can do it all now, or break it up over time.  It's up to you.  I enjoy the mini-challenges and choose to do them when I need a reading break.  I know sometimes the "brain work" for these is hard, but hopefully this one won't tax you too much.

The goal of this challenge is to complete some book titles.  I am going to give you a list of 20 titles, leaving out some of the words.  Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to complete the title.  You can do this challenge as a post on your blog and leave a link in the comments, or simply copy and paste the titles into your comment and answer there.  The choice is yours.

There will be 2 winners.  1st place will go to the person who gets all the titles right.  If  that happens to be more than one person, then random.org will choose a winner out of those people.  The next winner will be again chosen by random.org, out of all the other participants.  So, even if you don't get them all right, you still have a chance to win.

Here are your titles:
  1. The Dark _____
  2. An _____  _____ Girl
  3. The Lost _____ of _____ May _____
  4. Necessary _____
  5. She's So _____ to _____
  6. _____ Over Toccoa
  7. _____ Dead
  8. Scones & _____
  9. All _____ Things
  10. Beautiful _____
  11. _____ to Dream
  12. The _____-_____ Waves
  13. I Kissed a _____ and I _____ It
  14. Prophecy of the _____
  15. Very _____
  16. The Girl Who _____ from the _____
  17. Marriage and Other _____ of _____
  18. Making _____
  19. _____ Cat
  20. Letters to My _____
These are all titles that I've read or have in my TBR pile.  So, if you follow my blog, you may be able to figure them out.  If not, I don't think they're that tricky; at least that's not my intention.  Have fun!!

Winners get their pick of some of my ARCs...1st place gets their choice of 2, and then the next person gets to choose 1.  Here are your choices:




















You can put your book choices in your comment as well, in case you are a winner.  Don't forget to leave your email address so that I can contact you should you win.
