Guess A Book in Six Words

Jessica Pryde is a member of that (some might call) rare breed that grew up in Washington, DC, but is happily enjoying the warmer weather of the desert Southwest. While she is still working on what she wants to be when she grows up, she’s enjoying dabbling in librarianship and writing all the things. She can be found drowning in her ever-growing TBR and exclaiming about romance in the Book Riot podcast (When in Romance), as well as on social media. Find her exclamations about books and pho on twitter (JessIsReading) and instagram (jess_is_reading).

I finally got tagged on one of those “summarize your favorite book in six words, but don’t tell us what it is!” memes, and it’s been pretty entertaining to watch the battle of the minds work. So I asked Book Riot to contribute some of theirs. Basically, you write something like “smartass and asshole figure it out” or “stupidity delays their eventual ever after” and wait for people to guess. For some of us, it was our “favorite” while for others it’s the most impactful. And then of course those of us who are really bad at choices will just name the first one that comes to mind. Sounds like fun, right? Okay, let’s play!
