I’m sure many of you have seen the fun My Blog’s Name in Books meme created by Fictionophile making the rounds lately. I decided to try my hand at it, but with a bit of a twist.
Instead of spelling out my blog name with books from my TBR list, I’ve chosen to use books that I’ve read and loved. Not only do these titles spell out “Dwell in Possibility”, they also represent my general reading taste and highlight the types of books you’ll see on this blog. Let me know if you spy any of your favorites below!
DWELL
Diary of a Provincial Lady, E. M. Delafield
Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell
Evelina, Frances Burney
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
(The) Lost Art of Keeping Secrets, Eva Rice
IN
I‘ve Got Your Number, Sophie Kinsella
Nightingale Wood, Stella Gibbons
POSSIBILITY
Persuasion, Jane Austen
(White) Oleander, Janet Fitch
(The) Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett
(The) Secret History, Donna Tartt
(The) Ivy Tree, Mary Stewart
Behind the Scenes at the Museum, Kate Atkinson
I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith
(A) Little Love Song, Michelle Magorian
Invitation to the Waltz, Rosamond Lehmann
To Say Nothing of the Dog, Connie Willis
(The) Yellow Wallpaper, Charlotte Perkins Gillman
Love this idea, and your choices! Of these I’ve read:
Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell

I’ve loved (or at least “liked”) them all. The ones I haven’t read are on my TBR.

Well, I don’t see why it should have to be unread books. I’m not convinced that all of the ones I used in my take on the meme were completely unread…. And I’ve read several on your list – I remember being very taken with the Connie Willis!

I might do this meme again with unread books, but I wanted to start with read books first. I’m glad you enjoyed To Say Nothing of the Dog as well! It will definitely be one I’ll be re-reading in the future.

Great take on the meme! I’ve never read the Secret Garden (shame on me), but I feel I might pick it up soon. 🙂

I think it’s a much better idea to use books you’re read and enjoyed, as some on the tbr list may well be disappointments. I like how we can all enjoy enjoy a certain genre, yet have different views on individual books – some of the above would definitely be on my best-loved list, but others I didn’t get on with.

Whew! What a fun idea to do with book titles. 🙂 I spotted a few of my favorites in the mix!
So I would like to invite you to my L. M. Alcott reading challenge this June. We’re talking about all things Alcott and everyone gets to choose a book(s) to read for the challenge — whatever you want it to be, concerning Miss Alcott (+ there’s a giveaway!) Details are on my blog…
