Saw this on Facebook as a challenge for people to guess the title and author of books based on six-word summaries. In no particular order, here are some of my faves:
Anorexic city girl proves excruciatingly introspective. [Rebecca Josephs’ Early Disorder]
Clare escapes becoming Niall’s kinky doll. [Sarban’s Doll Maker]
Laura learns magic and rescues brother. [Margaret Mahy’s Changeover]
Dead lesbian seeks ingenues for dinner. [Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla]
Being royal makes growing up complicated. [Maria Gripe’s In The Time of the Bells]
Enemies bang each other into “love.” [This works for both Johanna Lindsey’s Warrior’s Woman and E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey.]
Alice keeps her cool amidst bullshit. [Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures Underground and Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There]
Self-absorbed language experiments obscure the plot. [Greer Gilman’s Moonwise]
And some short stories:
Princess knows she’s in a fairy tale. [A.S. Byatt’s Tale of the Eldest Princess]
Valley Girl totally kicks vampire butt. [Esther Friesner’s Blood-Ghoul of Scarsdale]
