MY LIFE WITH THE BOOKS OF 2010
I am back on my meds, and not feeling quite so sensitive; time for some fun.
Last year I participated in a meme to describe my life in the form of the book titles I had read that year, see at My Life with Books of 2009.
The meme has revived this year with different questions, and I have noted the contributions by:
Here goes with mine, although I haven't read as many books this year so this may be tricky.
In High School I was: The Informer [Craig Nova]
People might be surprised I'm: The Snowman [Jo Nesbo]
I will never be: The Monster in the Box [Ruth Rendell]
My fantasy job is: The Stone Cutter [Camilla Lackberg]
At the end of the day I need: Skinny Dip [Carl Hiassen]
I hate it when: Vodka Doesn't Freeze [Leah Giarratano]
Wish I had: Thirty Three Teeth [Colin Cotterill]
My family reunions are: A Night of Long Knives [Rebecca Cantrell]
At the party you'd find me with: The Woman from Bratislava [Leif Davidsen]
I've never been to: Cemetery Lake [Paul Cleave]
A happy day includes: Midnight Fugue [Reginald Hill]
Motto I live by: Truth [Peter Temple]
On my bucket list: Blood Safari [Deon Meyer]
In my next life I want to be: Bad Boy [Peter Robinson]

LOL Norman...another great entry into this meme. Though if you are taking a Skinny Dip at the end of the day surely you are already a Bad Boy :)
Norman - This is wonderful. I almost used Skinny Dip in my own contribution to this meme, but the world does not need that mental image. These are great responses!
Thanks, Bernadette and Margot.
I limped into a deli in Ashburton the other week, and a lady asked me if I had broken my knee playing rugby!
I think she had lost her spectacles but I took that as an enormous compliment not having played for 40 years. Unfortunately the same time frame applies to both Skinny Dip and Bad Boy. ;o)
Every time I see one of these I think they can´t get funnier - but they do. Skinny Dip indeed :D
My husband and I skinny dip all the time, so perhaps that's why that response didn't raise any particular flags for me. The one that made me laugh was 33 teeth!
Pleased you were amused Dorte and Cathy. But my teeth and me skinny dipping are not pleasant sights. :o(
Great post! Love your answers. I did it today too.

Thanks CD I will look your answers up later, off out now before it rains again.
You're just as witty on meds as off, mate.

Thanks Peter.
I would be a lot calmer if I stopped reading newspapers, and stopped watching the TV news, and reading books set in the UK.....
When the author suggests that cuddly Reg Wexford might be even a little bit racist I get upset. After all the poor man has not got a promotion since 1964?
33 teeth? Hilarious.
At a party with "The Woman from Bratislava"? My answer to that is:
"The Man from Beijing."
This is fun and perks up the TBR pile.
