I bought a game: Bring Your Own Book

Crossposting to YA and Reader's Choice

I proposed at YA tonight that at the Christmas party, we play a game I just ordered, called "Bring Your Own Book." Everyone was excited and asked me to post on Goodreads.

Someone told me about this game and it sounds fantastic. Everyone has a book, of any type (manual, cookbook, textbook, fiction, etc). Prompter chooses a category and the goal is to find something to fulfill the prompt in your own book that the prompter will find entertaining enough to win.

From Amazon:
Your old favorite book is now your new favorite game! Draw a category card, grab a book, and then quickly skim to satisfy the chosen prompt (and the judge!) with the most entertaining phrase. Can you find "a ridiculous tabloid headline" in that best-selling novel? How about "dating advice" in your well-worn cookbook? Since you can use any book, you can play with any group and find limitless potential on every page! Where will you discover "the title of the next hit party game?" Find out when you Bring Your Own Book!.


I figured this was the best place to find players.

This sounds like a lot of fun! Let's bring it up at our meeting and see if we can get enough people to play!

I am looking forward to playing this game.
