Week two is almost in the bag for Bookending Summer folks! I am having an absolute ball of a time getting to meet you all and make new friends over on your posts and on our twitter page (@bookend_events if you haven’t followed, you totally should!)! We are in the thick of things as we press on into Isabelle @ BookwyrmBites second day reigning the kingdom of hosting!

Without further ado! Let’s waddle into today’s prompt!
-TODAY’S PROMPT-
Down and Across
Pick a summer-themed word (ex: beach, fireworks, heatwave, barbecue, vacation) or the title of a book with summer vibes. Write it vertically, then try to fill in titles that start with each letter (you can omit determiners like “the” and “a”).
For example, if your first book is Radiance, then you might have [The] Raven Boys, Anna Undreaming, Darius the Great Is Not Okay, and so on. Difficult mode: Use only books that fit a theme, such as “three-word titles” or “YA contemporary” or “squad goals.”
For this challenge, I think I am going to challenge myself with the word Popsicle and because I hate myself I am go into difficult mode and use only “romantic comedies”. Because wow, a time.

E | Engaged To The EMT by Piper Rayne
The ‘i’ and the ‘o’ were surprisingly the bane of my existence and I asked myself multiple times why I chose this word out of all the summer-ish words in the dictionary. However, even though I struggled–I CAME OUT VICTORIOUS!!!
What books would you have used instead? Let me know!
Dang you’re good! I don’t think I could have come up with anything lol. And I wouldn’t have been a bad ass like you and done difficult mode!
Haha I literally told myself “Go hard or go home Sam” and that’s what I did lmao! I think you can totally nail it! Let me know if you do decide to do this post! I’m rooting for you!
I love romantic comedies so I’m definitely adding all of these to my TBR!
Also, your new theme is so amazing! It makes your blog look really good!
YAY!!!! And thank you!! I wasn’t sure how I was feeling about it, but slowly it’s been growing on me!
I actually haven’t had a popsicle in forever (the closest are probably the haagen dazs ice cream bars, bc my dad and brother love them so we usually keep some in the freezer) but they’re such a lovely summery treat – even if it did give you some difficulty filling out the acrostic 😜 and I remember reading your awesome reviews for some of these, though I still haven’t read any so they’re just hanging out on my TBR welp.
thanks for doing my prompt! 💕
I hadn’t either until I was drafting this prompt! Got a mad craving for it, so took a little waddle over to walmart and got me a bag! Much goodness was consumed that day. 😍
