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<p>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 <em>Furyborn<\/em> by Claire Legrand, so I might describe it as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>That really long book with magic and doors and fire? And I think there&#8217;s a sword on the cover? Or maybe a knife?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As horrible as that description is, it does&#8230; technically, describe <em>Furyborn<\/em>. And the best part about this is that you don&#8217;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<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So your mission today, should you accept it, is to describe <em>Furyborn<\/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<p>For today&#8217;s post, you should try to describe<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8863\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Stars-Banner-Fall-2020.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"95\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Stars-Banner-Fall-2020.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Stars-Banner-Fall-2020-300x34.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Stars-Banner-Fall-2020-768x86.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/furyborn-cover.png\" alt=\"Vague Recollections | October 3, 2020\" title=\"Vague Recollections | October 3, 2020\" class=\"ubb-cover-image alignleft\"><strong>Furyborn<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/authors\/claire-legrand\/\">Claire Legrand<\/a> <br><strong>Series:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/series\/empirium\/\">Empirium #1<\/a> <br><strong>Published on<\/strong>  May 22, 2018 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/publishers\/sourcebooks-fire\/\">Sourcebooks Fire<\/a> <br><strong>Genres:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/ya\/\">YA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/genres\/fantasy\/\">Fantasy<\/a> <br><strong>Pages:<\/strong> 501 <br><strong>Add to <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/34323570-furyborn\" target=\"_blank\">Goodreads<\/a> <br><strong>Author Links:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/claire-legrand.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/1074989.Claire_Legrand\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Goodreads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/clairelegrand\/_saved\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">Pinterest<\/a> <br><blockquote class=\"ubb-synopsis\"><p><strong>Furyborn follows two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom it.<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and a queen of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed...unless the trials kill her first.<br \/>\nOne thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable--until her mother vanishes. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire's heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.<br \/>\nAs Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world--and of each other.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2020-10-03T04:00:58+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Welcome to Vague Recollections, a new bookish meme hosted by Kait Plus Books (hey, that's me!) where every week readers band together to describe books in the most vague way possible!
