Titles in the Tabloids (Bout of Books Day 4 Challenge)



Welcome to Titles in the Tabloids, one of the challenges for Bout of Books 17. This is my first time as a challenge host and I'm hoping everyone enjoys this activity.

 We've all stood in line at the grocery store and giggled at some of the outrageous headlines we see. So, for today's challenge, I thought it would be fun to take some of our book plots and make them into fun tabloid headlines.  For example, a tabloid headline for the book Twilight might be...
SPARKLY VAMPIRE STALKS BROODING GIRL FOR ENDLESS STARING CONTEST

 Now it's your turn!
  • Think about the book you are reading or one that you finished during Bout of Books 17
  • Create a "tabloid" type headline.  Make it fun, feel free to use sarcasm liberally.  :)
  • Post your headline in the comment section below 

AND/OR

  • Tweet your headline using two hashtags: #boutofbooks and #tabloidtitles
Have fun with it! We are all looking forward to seeing some of the creative tabloid headlines you all come up with. :)

    I am going to use the Heart of Betrayal for this because I just finished it and it is on my mind.

    Runaway princess sited snuggling up to the leader of warring country while, jilted princes and her sexy assassin look on. Could this be some ploy to make the others jealous or some freaky sex thing? Full story inside.
