Winter Biannual Bibliothon — Day 3 Blog Challenge Announcement: Bookish Mad Libs

Hey friends!

In case you missed the announcement video, I was picked as a blog host for the Winter Biannual Bibliothon and my host day in Monday, January 14th.

I got to help with the winter bibib last year and it was such a blast, and I am SO excited to be helping out again!

For my host day, we’re going to be revisiting the nostalgia of Madlibs, but with a bookish spin!

For those of you not familiar with Madlibs (or it’s been a while since you’ve played one), Madlibs are short stories where certain words are missing. Here’s an example:

To play these, you get the list of word prompts first (a list that asks for an adjective, a number, a plural noun, etc.) and then after you fill in that list you plug the words in the story and enjoy the wacky story you’ve created.

On the morning of the 14th (around 8am PST), I’ll be uploading the list of prompts for your words. You’ll be able to come up with your word list and can either comment them on my original post or just have them on standby. Later in the day (around 12pm PST), I’ll be uploading the story for you all to plug the words into!

The reason this will be two different posts is that part of the fun of Madlibs is that you don’t know the context of the words. You just pick words and see how they word in the story.
