I spotted this meme at Margot’s Confessions of a Mystery Novelist [via Pop Culture Nerd].
My Life as a Book is a meme in which players complete sentences about themselves with titles of books. Some memes are just too demanding on the brain box, but I had a look at this one, and decided it could be completed with just books I had read this year. So here goes:
One time at band/summer camp, I: (went) Missing [Karin Alvtegen]
Weekends at my house are: The Tin Roof Blowdown [James Lee Burke]
My neighbour is: The Troubled Man [Henning Mankell]
My boss is: The Abominable Man [Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo]
My ex was: All Yours [Claudia Pineiro]
My superhero secret identity is: The Leopard [Jo Nesbo]
You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry because: No One Loves a Policeman [Guillermo Orsi]
I’d win a gold medal in: Bandit Love [Massimo Carlotto]
I’d pay good money for: A Lily of the Field [John Lawton]
If I were president, I would: (be in) An Uncertain Place [Fred Vargas]
When I don’t have good books, I: (am in a) Frozen Moment [Camilla Ceder]
Loud talkers at the movies should be: (taken to) A Beautiful Place to Die [Malla Nunn]
Margot’s meme included photos of herself, so not to be out done, this one was taken in one of my better moods. I can imagine this photo being dropped by the RAF over Berlin, and Grand Admiral Doenitz being called in to explain why the U-Boat campaign had so obviously failed to cut off Britain’s food supply.

CRIME SCRAPS REVIEW 
Norman – Oh, your answers are wonderful! This is just great! I especially like your response to My boss is: and you’ve chosen a very good superhero identity, too. Well done 🙂
And what a terrific ‘photo! I really like that determined look on your face and that sturdy stance.
Adorable photo, and babies are supposed to be healthy and sturdy-looking.
Your answers are very good, reminding me to do mine at a blog; I’m stewing over them, as this year’s completed titles have no zing.
Great answers and thank you for sharing the picture! Mine are ready for tomorrow, but I can see I´ll have to add a photo 😀
Just you wait.
Aren’t you cute, Norman?! Budding dentist with that chair, obviously 😉
Great answers to the meme, must see if I can do it….
Thanks Margot, Kathy, Dorte and Maxine.
Determined, sturdy stance, cute; my dear mother told me I was hanging on for dear life scared I would fall.
I hadn’t thought of the “dental chair”.
Norman, You’re too nice. congenial, easy-going and witty to have been a dentist! Maybe it was your alter-ego.
[…] to this year, Margot at Confessions of a Mystery Novelist and Norman at Crime Scraps Reviews have both undertaken the 2011 version, so I’ll have a go here. The idea is to answer the […]
Kathy, don’t encourage me. 😉
I have this meme up as well, with different questions. I filled it in with book titles I read in 2013. Hope you will visit. It was fun to do.
