There is a book game on Twitter that I thought we could play here too. I hope that’s allowed…
You get a topic and you have to change a book title to pun with the topic. Eg the topic is Spring. A punning title: The Grape Hyacinths of Wrath.
You get the idea?
We can choose a new topic after a bit.
The topic is Spring.
Go!

Sorry for not participating for a long time but I really can’t think of any book for the spring topic.
Can I suggest another topic? How about crime?

Good suggestion @Mimishu1995 !

@Mimishu1995 Not sure that you’ve quite got the idea yet, sorry :-(
You think of any book title and then you need to change the book title to fit the theme. So my book title was Wuthering Heights and I changed it to Wuthering Fights. Because fighting is a crime. An added bonus is that Heights and Fights rhyme. Hope this helps with your next try xx
