This meme is hosted by Lisa Ricard Claro at ‘Writing in the Buff’ J
Each week she posts a photo that could be the cover of a book. The aim is to:
‘Write a book jacket blurb (150 words or less) so enticing that potential readers would feel compelled to buy the book.’
Here is this week's photo followed by my offering.
What holiday are you after? Do you want sun, sea and sand or are mountains and horses more your style? Are you a culture vulture or a hippy? Do you want crowds or solitude? Home or abroad? Self-service or fully catered? Whatever your desire, this book will help you plan your break.
From the cheapest do-it-yourself hiking holiday to the most extravagant, no expense spared spree, you can’t ask for the wrong thing. A snip at £6.75!

J. - What a great idea! Not only what the book includes inside, but how the photo matches it perfectly.

Ahhhh, you went for the travel guide option. You've covered all the desires. I'll have to get that for our next trip!

I could honestly use a book like this! Trying to accommodate the whole family is tough. I think you've matched the photo beautifully, too. It was taken at the beach, but it might just as easily have been taken at the park or on a mountain hike. Terrific blurb!
ReplyDeleteNothing says travel like a pair of sunglasses! Now where's the book? Good one.
ReplyDeleteI need this book! Write it now!

Great idea to do a travel guide! Nicely written, too. You sold me on it.

For some reason, I've always associated these blurbs with fiction. You've certainly changed that. What a wonderful idea.
