Title Blending Meme

I've never started a meme before, but I've always wanted to (Well, maybe not always, but at least since last Thursday. Anyway...) Here are the rules: Blend two book titles together by using the last word of one title and the first word of the second title. If you want, you can blend the authors' names too. Like this: The Divine Comedy 0f Errors by Dante Shakespeare Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince of Tides by J.K Conroy The Canterbury Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Geoffrey Blume The Screwtape Letters to a Young Poet by C.S. Rilke and of course, The Last Don Quixote by Mario de Cervantes. Now it's your turn. Write as many or as few as you want. Tag six people. Extra credit for blending titles with my other two favorite books, Lord of the Rings and Master and Commander. Extra extra credit if you can find another title that blends with Don Quixote. I tag Sylvia, Stefanie, John D., Love2Learn Mom, Maureen, Jean, and anyone else who wants to play.

Were You Wondering about Me?

Whether you were or not, Sylvia at Classical Bookworm has tagged me with Eight Random Things about Me, so you have to suffer through this anyway: I'm a fan of Doc Savage and I own a complete set of Doc Savage novels. I used to live in North Dakota. I can't stand glitter in my classroom. I only drink water. When I was first learning how to drive, I knocked a stop sign down and my dad took me to the police station to report it. One of my guilty pleasures is the very cheesy Hudson Brothers movie Hysterical. One of my second cousins, Glenn Hanson, played basketball for the Chicago Bulls. I won the National Catholic Education Association's Distinguished Teacher of the Year Award in 2001. Now it's my turn. According to the rules I have to tag eight people, so I tag Julie, Will, Becky, Willa, Kim, Jim, Stefanie, and Maureen. Have fun!
