Ruined Books
Know what I love? Word play. A few years ago a friend posted a game on my Facebook page, back when I sort of used it. I think it was from Twitter? Who even knows. But a few others joined in and it is just my favorite kind of thing to do.
We collectively came up with some good ones and instead of attributing them to specific people, suffice it to know that these come from brilliant minds, Sean included. I take great pleasure in this and would love to hear more if you can think of them.
The game: “Ruin” a book title by changing/adding/removing a single letter. Go!
Jake Eyre- Jane's secret brother with an even creepier, darker past.
”In this hilarious family romp, there's Bertha in the attic, being a madwoman and creeping around starting fires, and there's Jake in the basement, stealing food and playing whatever is the Victorian version of video games. Watch what happens when they accidentally meet during their nighttime ramblings!”
The Mall of the Wild- Hot Topic is the least of your concerns…
The Cell of the Wild: Biology is… insane.
The Call of the Mild: It’s not very loud. (Just people subtly clearing their throats.)
Animal Fart: a guidebook to get you through the tedium of pet ownership
Where the Wild Things Care: A book about learning empathy.
The Wind in the Pillows. (I can’t think of what this book would be about but I know I want to find out.)
The Lion, the Mitch, and the Wardrobe: Mitch is the worst.
The Leon, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: Yay, Leon!
Wart and Peace: Coming to terms with your dermatological conditions
Where the Red Fern Glows: A sci-fi twist on a childhood classic.
The Count of Monte Crisco: This guy is extra slick. Also what we all called this book anyway when we were young and dumb.
The Lime Machine: Machine-generated citrus may seem like a good idea…
Moby Dice: The story of a pop musician’s gambling addiction. (Sorry, Moby. All fiction. Still, here’s a title if you ever need one.)
A Kale of Two Cities: Showdown between vendors and the produce problem in America. Dang, some of these are pretty good.
100 Bears of Solitude
The Adventures of Huckleberry Inn: This bed & breakfast has seen some things.
The Handmaid’s Male (Twist!)
To Kilt a Mockingbird: A collection of traditional Scottish folksongs.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dork: For nerds?
Git
Island of the Glue Dolphins: Ew.
The Lord of Toe Rings
Fahrenheit 51: The temperature at which nothing burns, and things are kinda chilly actually. Tag line: Is this thing even on?
Apparently I could do this forever. That’s it for now. Happy reaping! I mean reading!
You are a hoot! I was just practicing my French and learned the word for my favorite thing, un hibou, an owl. Anyway, I will be looking at books in a whole new way!
Oh my goodness! That is hilarious! I literally laughed out loud. Thank you for bringing me laughs first thing in the morning, I needed that so much!
