Hi everyone! My friend and writer buddy Jamie Ayres has a new book coming out on January 28, titled 18 Truths. It is the follow-up to her 18 Things, which, if you haven’t read, I strongly suggest you do. So, so good.
In honor of her new novel coming out, Jamie is conducting her own Can You Handle the Truth book release blog fest taking place this week. The whole idea of the game is for the blog host to post two truths and one lie about themselves and have the visitors try to decide which are the true statements. I’ve played this game before and it’s a hoot and a great way to meet people and have some fun, so I hope you play along.
You can find a list of all the other blog participants here so let’s go blog hopping!
And here are my two truths and one lie. Can you figure out the factoids about moi? 🙂 I’ll give the answer on the last day of the blog hop.
1. A horse ate my dress once while standing in line to go on a tour of a castle.
2. When I was ten, I tumbled over the handlebars of my bike while going downhill, and broke my arm.
3. I played a pirate in a college stage production of The Pirates of Penzance.
Ha! #1 is way to specific to be a lie. I’ll go with #2.

I fell over my handlebars when I was little, so I think that is a truth. The horse seems too silly to by a lie, so I am going with number 3 as the lie.

I think it’s #3. 🙂

I’m going to go with #1 as the lie, though it could be true. I have flown over my bike handlebars on many occasions, so I believe that one.

I just love all these guesses. Someone or someones has/have guessed the lie but I’m not going to say who …not until the 28th!! 🙂

I’m torn between 1 and 3. I can kinda believe one because I grew up loving horses and one of my best friend owns a bunch and I know horses will eat and eat and eat if you let them. I also know they will try to eat various thing because I’ve been bitten that way. I think I’m going to go with number 3.

I really hope the lie isn’t #1 cause that’s an awesome story! I’ll go with #2. 🙂

I’m having a bash at #1 being the lie. Still – hard to guess.

#3? just because I think number one is too awesome not to be true

I say number 3 is the lie. The horse one is likely because I had a horse who loved to chew on my jacket sleeves! 🙂

Oh, there are some really good guesses here. I can’t wait to reveal the lie. 🙂

I’m guessing number 1. I sure hope it didn’t happen!

It’s very hard to tell which is the lie – but I’m thinking number 3 because I like the idea of the horse and think it’s quite feasible to fall off a bike 😉

I’d say number three is your lie. I don’t see you as the type to get up on stage in front of people unless under duress

Mm, I like the horse eating one so I’m hoping it’s not the lie. So I’m going with the bike and handlebars.

This is a tough decision, but I think that #2 is your lie. The horse story is a great one, though you probably didn’t appreciate it at the time.

Hmm, I’m actually doing 2 truths and 1 lie, but I like your twist on the game, Jenny!! I’m going to guess number 1 for your fact. You seem like the kind of person who would be visiting a castle, and then have your dress eaten by Mr. Horse! But I bet you laughed it off, though 🙂 THANK YOU for playing ❤

Actually, I did post two truths. I made a mistake in the upper half of the post which I have changed to reflect the real rules of the game. 🙂

Cool . . . then I think #3 is your lie 🙂
