Who remembers the "Choose Your Adventure" books?
As a kid, those were my favorite books ever (well, those and The Sweet Valley Twins Series)!!
You got to pick your own path and make your OWN story.
I mean, for me, this was just amazing-especially since I always wanted to be a writer. It would say something like "If you want Peter to go through the Cave of Darkness, turn to Page 77." I always PEEKED at where that adventure would take me (shhhhh..don't tell)...and if it said THE END, or the character was going to die, I would choose the other path.
Ha, I know..I was quite the daredevil.
One of my favorites |
Adventure 1 - Head over to Whiskey Tango Foxtrot where I'm talking about our Hawaii Honeymoon.
Adventure 2 - Go to The Hollie Rogue and check out my must-have products for Spring/Summer (High & Low edition)
Adventure 3 - Check out my little snippet on Pocket Change's Best of the Web--where I was featured! Yay!!! I LOVE this website--it is CHOCK FULL of awesome information about EVERYTHING!!!
Or.....peek at all 3 (like I do) and have ALL THE ADVENTURES you want! ;)
If you don't know about these books, then all this was lost on you, and I probably
just confused the heck out of you--oh well, it's your loss (I kid, I kid).
