My Life in Books, Version 2010

Last year I participated in a fun meme to describe my life in terms of the books I read during the year. Now Pop Culture Nerd has created a 2010 version of the meme with new sentences. Who can resist? Definitely not me! Here are my answers using only the titles of the books I've read so far this year. (All but one title are mysteries.)

In high school I was Unseen.

People might be surprised I'm
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

I will never be
The Ice Princess.

My fantasy job is
The Chalk Circle Man.

At the end of a long day I need
Homemade Sin.

I hate it when
The Confederate General Rides North.

Wish I had
Dolled Up for Murder.

My family reunions are
Where Memories Lie.

At a party you'd find me with
The Sleeping and the Dead.

I've never been to
Taroko Gorge.

A happy day includes
Playing With Bones.

Motto I live by
Anything Goes.

On my bucket list
A Beautiful Place to Die.

In my next life, I want to be
The Devil Amongst the Lawyers.

It's so much fun to read everyone's answers! If you decide to do this, please come back and let me know-- I want to see your answers, too!

  6. Homemade sin indeed. *snort*

    (But nowadays it may ´only´ be something containing a spot of animal or vegetable fat).

  11. This meme always makes me chuckle but it's always so hard for me to answer it myself! I'll have to think about doing it.
