#MadLibMonday - Saving Cassie by L.A. Remenicky

When I was growing up, I loved Mad Libs. The excitement of sort of writing your own story really appealed to me. So I thought it would be fun to mesh that love with my love of books by turning blurbs into mad libs and letting you guys write your own book blurbs. 

For anyone that doesn't know how Mad Libs work, I will ask you for certain parts of speech or other specific things (i.e.: date, age, color, etc.) which you will write down. After you have completed your list, scroll down below the cover image to find the redacted blurb. Then read through it substituting your words where applicable. Try not to laugh. (Laughing is actually strongly encouraged, because this is supposed to be funny.)

Some brief definitions of the parts of speech.
Noun: Person, place, or thing.
Verb: Describes or indicates action.
Adverb: Modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb expressing manner, place, time, or degree (gently, here, now, very).
Adjective: Names an attribute of a noun (pretty, blue, large)
Pronoun: A word that can function as a noun (I, we, they)
Preposition: a word that combines with a noun or pronoun to form a phrase that usually acts as an adverb, adjective, or noun (on, after, for)

And with that, here we go.

1: Plural noun
2: Number
3: Verb ending in ing
4: Noun
5: Adjective
6: Plural noun
7: Verb ending in s
8: Noun
9: Adjective
10: Noun

After (   2: Number   ) years in the big city, Cassie Holt is (   3: Verb ending in ing   ) back to her hometown to take over the (   4: Noun   ) left to her by her beloved Gram, vowing to live her life alone.

As the (   10: Noun   ) gets closer, can Logan protect Cassie and protect his heart?

Now that your fun is through, here is the real blurb for Saving Cassie by L.A. Remenicky.

Everyone has secrets. Sometimes secrets can get you killed.
