This meme’s an old favourite of mine. Someone usually pips me to the post and this year it was Bookdout who has her own version which Cathy used for hers. Like Karen and Cathy746, I’m using the same prompts as in previous years, drawing on the titles of books I’ve read in 2025 with links to any I’ve reviewed on the blog. Why not join in? There’s still time.




In high school I was Bad Bad Girl
People might be surprised by Little Monsters
I will never be A Waiter in Paris
My fantasy job is An Honest Living
At the end of a long day I need The Sleeping Car Porter
I hate being As Rich as the King
Wish I had All the Beauty of the World
My family reunions are Unfinished Business
At a party you’ll find me with The Odd Woman in the City
I’ve never been to The Place of Shells
A happy day includes Objects of Desire
Motto I live by Damned if I Do
On my bucket list is Perfection
In my next life I want to have Fun and Games





A very happy 2026 to you all, reading and otherwise!

I like your motto
Thank you, although I’m not sure it’s accurate!
A Happy New Year to you, too, Susan. An interesting selection of books!
Thank you, Gail. I always enjoy this meme.
A Happy New Year to you, too, Susan. An interesting selection of books and thank you for all your suggestions this year.
My pleasure!
Haha, love your motto! Happy New Year – hope 2026 is good to you!
Thank you, and to you, too!
I love your take on My Life in Books. I linked up with BookdOut this year but I will keep it in mind for my 2026 post.
Thank you! It’s such an enjoyable meme.
This is such good fun. I have just started Bad Bad Girl.
I love putting these posts together, always something to raise a smile. Hope you’re enjoying it.
Early days but good so far.
This is great fun, and something I joined in with last year. My computer-less-ness last week has left me chasing my own tail, so I’ll just relish yours. I bet you weren’t a Bad Bad Girl at school. I wasn’t. That came later!
I had my moments! Definitely an amusing note to end the year on.
We should compare notes about our family reunions!
Perhaps they’ll be better this year!
