Booked by 3 for July: My Answers

Okay, that was harder than I thought. And I apologize for not answering sooner or acknowledging the two wonderful responses I know about. You folks really did a great job. Me? Not so great. I guess we won't try the August version of this because hardly anyone tried and what fun is that? So, here are my humble efforts.

1.
Where's Poppa?
Sickened
on Main Street

(authors: Robert Klane, Julie Gregory, Sinclair Lewis)

2.
Wouldn't It Be Nice?
Walking Through Shadows
Forever Free

(authors: Brian Wilson, Bev Marshall, Joe Haldeman)

3.
A Stranger is Watching
Lost Girls
Growing Up Weightless

(authors: Mary Higgins Clark. Andrew Pyper, John M. Ford)

We could certainly try this or something similar with first lines, but I'll need a show of hands. :)

  1. I especially like number two, very poetic. Have to say I really enjoyed this challenge and agree, it's a pity more people didn't take it up. Consider my hand up for a similar challenge using first lines. :)

  2. I really liked this challenge although I see I misunderstood the way in which it was to be done. Still, it was fun coming up with titles that flowed into a complete thought.

  3. There really wasn't a right or wrong way, Manky, and I really enjoyed your effort. It actually took more creativity, I think, to write it that way. :)
