Welcome to Vague Recollections<\/strong>, a new bookish meme hosted by Kait Plus Books<\/a> (hey, that’s me!)<\/em> where every week readers band together to describe books in the most vague way possible! For fun!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Rules<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Describe the book on Kait’s post as vaguely as possible in the comments section<\/li>\n
  2. Go to your own blog and make a post about a different book<\/li>\n
  3. Link your post in the Mister Linky on Kait Plus Books<\/li>\n
  4. People will then describe that book as vaguely as possible in your comments section<\/li>\n
  5. Visit and comment on other blogs so that everyone gets some post love!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Anyone who has visited my blog during Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon<\/a> the past few years has probably seen me hosting my mini-challenge, Vague Recollections. I love doing it so much that I thought it would be fun to make it into a weekly meme! But! The way it works is a little different.<\/p>\n

    For this meme each reader will choose a book, and then in the comments section of their post other readers will try to describe the book in the most vague terms possible. For example, my book today is Spellhacker<\/em> by M.K. England, so I might describe it as:<\/p>\n

    That book where there’s a lot of swearing, and backstabbing, and magic. The cover is really pretty and I think there’s some non-binary rep? And cannons. Definitely cannons.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    As horrible as that description is, it does… technically, describe Spellhacker<\/em>. And the best part about this is that you don’t actually have to have read the books to participate! All you have to read is the summary, and make a vague summary based on that!<\/p>\n

    So your mission today, should you accept it, is to describe Spellhacker<\/em> as vaguely as you can in my comments, and then pick a book to make your own post with so people can describe that book as vaguely as possible in your comments!<\/p>\n

    For today’s post, you should try to describe<\/p>\n\"VagueSpellhacker<\/strong> by M.K. England<\/a>

    From the author of The Disasters, this genre-bending YA fantasy heist story is perfect for fans of Marie Lu and Amie Kaufman.<\/b>
    \nIn Kyrkarta, magic\u2014known as maz\u2014was once a freely available natural resource. Then an earthquake released a magical plague, killing thousands and opening the door for a greedy corporation to make maz a commodity that\u2019s tightly controlled\u2014and, of course, outrageously expensive.
    \nWhich is why Diz and her three best friends run a highly lucrative, highly illegal maz siphoning gig on the side. Their next job is supposed to be their last heist ever.
    \nBut when their plan turns up a powerful new strain of maz that (literally) blows up in their faces, they\u2019re driven to unravel a conspiracy at the very center of the spellplague\u2014and possibly save the world.
    \nNo pressure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
