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, I might describe my book today as:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This book is about goblins. Or fairies? It definitely makes me think of winter, so maybe the cover has snow on it? I think&#8230; and this could be totally wrong, but I think it takes place in Germany? And music is important. I remember that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As horrible as that description is, it does&#8230; technically, describe the book.\u00a0And 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 the book below 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&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Simple-Banner-Winter-2020.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Simple-Banner-Winter-2020.png 850w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Simple-Banner-Winter-2020-300x25.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Simple-Banner-Winter-2020-768x63.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/wintersong-cover.png\" alt=\"Vague Recollections | November 28, 2020\" title=\"Vague Recollections | November 28, 2020\" class=\"ubb-cover-image alignleft\"><strong>Wintersong<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaitgoodwin.com\/books\/reviews\/authors\/s-jae-jones\/\">S.
