Bout of Books 14 – MASH Challenge

Playing this M.A.S.H game is elementary school nostalgia. These games are usually more fun when someone chooses what goes into the category, so I did ask a few bloggers (Brandie, Rachel, Josephine) for their input. Just know that many of these are pretty [very] bad (choices that I myself made…)

I then asked Josephine (@wordrevel) for 2 sets of numbers:

  • the first being the order of category listed (9);
  • the second being the number to play the game (17).

This challenge is hosted by Rocky Talk Real Top.

(If you’re unfamiliar with the game, it’s basically a list of categorized options that tell you what your “future” environment will look like. You go around and eliminate options using your number until there’s 1 option left per.)

[Top Ten Tuesday] – #72 – Auto-buy Authors

Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. I thought this would be a fun way to share a condensed version of potential rambles and thoughts that I have.

This Week’s Theme:
[Potential] Auto-buy Authors


Initial Thoughts:

Considering last weeks post (re: Authors I’ve Read The Most Books From), this post is sort of an extension of it.

See: I haven’t read a whole bunch from the authors I’ve read; this makes the status of auto-buy author quite dubious to validate. Moreover, for me, interest in future publications isn’t grounded solely on the namesake but also what the story will be about. Most of the time it takes having read 2+ books to win that golden ticket toward auto-buy stardom…but then there are series that kind of break this rule so I don’t really know what to say…

With that in mind, I will give you a list of current authors who I’ve read only one book from who could reach that auto-buy title (not that my singular accolade means anything).
