AIBU Books Game Part 4

[MoominMymbleandMy]

Well, we made it to a fourth thread!

As before, we frame an AIBU from the point of view of a character in a book and everyone tries to guess the book and/or the character.

Everyone welcome to play/time-waste as much or as little as they please.

New thread, new AIBU...

AIBU to refuse to read aloud?

have settled for a dance in the style of peter crouch

cj....he isn't in the film bizz is he?

Ooh, lucky thing, CJ, that's one of the wickedly over-priced, hard to find ones. I have told the DD she will just have to read them out of sequence.

...I'm not a schoolboy - I'm a beast!

I'm feeling very uninspired tonight, I'm afraid. Any chance of another clue, please?

moomin are you also called vermin?

No, not in the film biz. So I decided, if he can behave badly over there I can have a bit of fun here, and this slightly crazy but very sweet American (who's doing my DH's job while he's away) turns out to be rather fun. We're quite a houseful, what with the pregnant young girl as well ...

Moomin, more clues please! I'll lend you the Cricket Term when your DD needs it. Galloping through it, I am, and developing a bit of a crush on Jan Scott!

Aww, CJ, you are really lovely but you mustn't tempt me because I think we'd have to take out a second mortgage to replace it if it got lost in the post!

Now, are you married to an academic who's doing a job swap?

Polly, I'm sure you dance much more gracefully than Peter Crouch.

...I'm not vermin. I live in water so I'm washing all the time. And I told that rude wretch I was just as clean he was...

moomin...that should be disgracefully!
are you a prawn being spoken to by a jewish person?

or a waterbaby with a chimney sweep?

Hi all

No idea on anyone else's.

....I am not a critter, though there are those who might think I am...... my guardian is so obsessed with him, I have demanded a replacement. And I know just the one. She's a dollmaker. I can't do it myself, so I need my guardian to make her. His conscience is bothering him - pity it didn't all those years ago when I was made......

Hmm, might be making it a bit obvious there, but need to go - DD3 is climbing on the table

hi pol, no idea unless you are pinocchio!!

oops, just realised you're a girl

Just waving hello! Trenchfoot and sunburn here!
'Night!

Everyone's back!

Pol,yours keeps making me think of 'Coppelia' - but can't produce a relevant book!

Pogle, I can see why you might think that, but it's sooooo not

.....He made her for me!! I needed a mother and now I don't need my guardian any more. Now, as long as what we did in the New World remains undiscovered, I can be happy......

Pogle, great minds are...equally baffled because I was wondering if someone had written a sequel to Coppelia. Obviously not so I'm back to stumped mode.

...And when he wanted to leave my friends to drown I told him he could keep his old Ark...

Wow you lot are clever! I do still read this thread, but haven't even come close to answering one in ages. Either senility has finally set in, or I need to read some more intellectual books.

Just a quick one, though - AIBU to be surprised that someone only has fake food in their house?

Hi Sunny, you're always welcome . It is a bit U when you had the cheek to break and enter in the first place!

And I'm not feeling one bit clever at the moment, especially on Poledra's - which now isn't ringing even the faintest of bells.

....he's come back! The one we thought we'd killed in the New World - he's not gone and he's found us. I don't know what they will do to us - we've broken the rules of killing our own kind.
I really thought he was dead - we poisoned him, cut his throat, threw him in the swamp, burned the house when he returned - how has he survived? And worse, how shall I survive once he tells the others what we've done?........

wow,Pol - this is gripping! Perhaps you could just post the entire book for us to enjoy!

are you undead??

I am indeed undead, Pogle

Not that that helps me..! (Don't think I've read any books of that genre set in Europe)
Will ponder some more...

OK, quite sure I've never read your one, Poledra! I'm sure I would have remembered a Rasputin vampire.

...What did we need with his old Ark anyway. All turtles can swim very well. But it might be tricky to save the two humans...

...They're going to expose me to daylight, along with my new guardian. No, please, don't I'm just a little girl.....

hello, brief visit!
pol wild stabs as i've not read them but is it one of the twilight books?

Sorry, Polly, I haven't read the Twilight books either, so that's a no.

Not sure what other clues I can give now as I've turned to dust under the sun.....

Haven't read it ,Pol,but is this the swedish vampire book on my 'to-read'list?? (and if it is,do I want to read it ?)

Sorry you've turned to dust...
