A new riddle is up! Which book title is this riddle referring to?

Hint: The title has two words.

Nelson denied he was one,
Though some may call him so,
Such a word demands perfection,
And an inner sort of glow.

Without bounds or limits,
One can do this, yes they can,
When there is no fear of judgement,
No binds, no confines, no ban.


The bookworm who unravels the book title will receive:
- All Fall Down by Ally Carter
- The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall
- The Darkest Part of The Forest by Holly Black

Please send me a message via Goodreads with:
- Your guess
- Your preferred e-mail address

COMP IS OPEN UNTIL THE RIGHT ANSWER IS GUESSED! GET RIDDLING!!

Best of luck!

The winner is Jasmee!

She guessed the correct answer, which was: Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen.
Saint Anything by Sarah Dessen

Raquel (Rocki) (raquelrocki) | 10 comments I would have never guessed that


message 170: by Ross (new)

Ross Bauer (nightlightknight) | 35 comments Heh, I figured the Saint bit, but the second one could have been anything, and it literally was! Well done Jasmee :D

L | 1252 comments Felt like posting some ridiculous riddles, *as i'm feelin so low & beat.. so thought I'd crank up the pace [as this post has been quiet for ages], and lighten up the topic!

Suppose I need to take a load off my shoulders {figuratively speaking}


"What is 4 letters yet is also made up of 3. Although is written with 8 letters and then with 4. Rarely consists of 6 and never is written with 5?! - thought this was interesting


"If you drop me I'll crack, but if you smile, I'll smile back - what am I?"


I loved this one that I found --

"what is deep within you, never dies or gets worn out and only needs some fire from time to time?!"

;)
