I love reading one liner challenge posts, they can really be hilarious at times. So, after being nominated for this challenge (quite a while ago), I thought it was time to give it a try myself. But before we get started, I’d like to thank POP CULTURE LITERARY for the nomination and apologise for taking so long to respond to this challenge. There’s a lot of cool and interesting stuff over at POP CULTURE LITERARY, so I’d recommend checking it out.
The Rules:
- Accept and thank your challenger(s) by linking back to their post.
- Make a post of one-sentence summaries and/or roasts of at least five books.
- No spoilers! (I will try but no promises)
- Link back to The Awkward Book Bloggerso she can see your post.
- Challenge as many or as few people as you want!
- Have fun!
Right so let’s begin! I read mostly non-fiction books which wouldn’t really work in this post, so I’ve also added five anime to the mix.
Books:
Blue Planet II– The Book that proves sea monsters really do exist.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland- An adventure where a girl falls down a hole, eats shrooms, drinks potions, ignores the rules of stranger danger and manages to really peeve off some psycho lady by painting her roses, basically some peoples’ Saturday night.
Bram Stoker Dracula– You can’t help but read it in Dracula’s voice, bleh bleh bleh.
The Twits- The book that taught me to seek revenge when I was a child, even if it involves using a swimming pools worth of glue and inducing the shrinks.
The Miniaturist- A valuable lesson in not being creepy by making miniature dolls of random rich strangers and their home furnishings, because they’ll freak out, think you’re a witch, blame you for everything that goes wrong in their life and people will be thrown in the canal wearing a boulder necklace.
The Walking Dead Comic- Man awakens from a coma to find himself in a zombie apocalypse and decides to become a zombie slaying cowboy (Sort of like the TV show but better).
Anime:
Death Note- A narcissistic psychopathic emo guy finds a note book that literally makes the pen mightier than the sword, which leads to him having a strange relationship with another very odd emo guy and they play cat and mouse then explore bondage.
Black Butler-For the low, low price of one’s soul, you can have an extremely attractive demon ninja slave that will pretty much do anything for/to you (and I mean “anything”).
Tokyo Ghoul- Boy gets turned into a half ghoul then sits around drinking coffee with other ghouls, being a hate-the-world and yaps about his life then decides to give cannibalism a go.
Durarara- An anime with a headless cat lady biker and where gang violence, knife crime and mob mentality are rampant, but for some reason no one has offed the snitch.
Elfen Lied- Where clothing and limbs are optional but bathing is a compulsory group activity.
Nominations:
At this point, I think nearly everyone has either already done this challenge or been nominated for it. Therefore, I nominate anyone who hasn’t already been nominated yet.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this post, I had a lot of fun making it and…
As always, Thanks for reading!
Love your line for Black Butler. Great response to the challenge.

Thank you so much 😀
Glad you liked the Black Butler one liner 🙂 Black Butler is one of my favourite anime (season 1 and Book of Circus, at least. Season 2 took a strange turn and I didn’t really like it) 😀

I try to pretend season two just isn’t a thing. Love Book of Circus and Book of Murder. Will watch Book of Atlantic next month (have the DVD ready to go).

Same here 🙂 I view Season 2 as a separate thing from the other seasons 😀
Good stuff 😀 Hope you enjoy Book of Atlantic. 🙂 I haven’t watch that one yet either 😀

This was fun! Haha, I like that you threw in some anime. Your descriptions of them were funny and almost made me laugh out loud (I’m in a place where that would be really awkward, which is why it was only almost! … But it took a lot of effort not to!)

Oh glob, sorry about that 😮 Funny little thoughts often pop into my head, while I’m in serious places. So, I can relate to how hard it must have been not to laugh 🙂

Hehe. The quick recaps are funny and true. I wouldn’t sell my soul for a ninja butler, but might be tempted if I can trade for a maid.

You’re in luck! In season 2 of Black Butler there is a kick ass demon ninja maid called Hannah Annafellows 🙂 So the trade is very possible 😂😂
Thanks 😀 Glad you enjoyed my one liners 😀

Love the manga ones! Probably because I’m more familiar with them. And that bleh bleh bleh really takes that one liner home 😅
