My Blog’s Name in Books

So my post today was going to be about the ‘new’ books I added to my TBR pile in April, but when I signed in here this morning, I came across this fun game/meme on my blogging and goodsreads friend Paula’s blog, Book Jotter . The meme and picture are from the blog Fictionophile, who came up with these.

This was such a fun thing to do that I decided to do the other post later and this one now. This is also the first time I picked something like this up! So the rules are:

The Rules:

1. Spell out your blog’s name in book titles.
2. Find the books on your TBR shelf. However, to complete this challenge, you are not permitted to add additional titles (i.e. ones that weren’t already on your TBR list when you started).
3. Have fun looking through your shelves to find matching titles.

 

This blog of course has a long long name- seventeen letters but with my gigantic TBR, I figured it wouldn’t be too hard. Well, it wasn’t as easy as I thought either with some letters–‘u’ in particular–making me wonder if I’ll simply have to spell Eustace Diamonds wrong and hope nobody notices (but finally I did find one as you will see). The letter ‘R’ , which occurs four times in my blog ‘s name was no trouble at all, on the other hand, and I could have added a couple more were it needed. So here’s my list:
