Erin Bowman Takes the Dare: Book Dominos!

Today's dare comes from a good friend of mine, Caroline Richmond. She dared me to set up my books like dominos and knock them all over. This proved especially difficult because I live in a very, very old farmhouse. Nothing is level, and the floorboards are ridiculously wide and uneven and there are old square-head nails everywhere that aren't quite flush with the wood. Getting these books to balance was a bit of a struggle. But I managed.

Here are my book-domino results via vlog! (Please pardon my general state of un-showered-ness and messy hair. I'm on deadline! ;) )



And here's a picture of the end result since I was having issues with the laptop camera:

I'm quietly cursing 13 Reasons Why for messing up an otherwise perfect YA formation.

A huge thank you to Caroline for this fabulous (and FUN) dare. I hope you all have a great weekend, and be sure to check back next week for more truth/dare madness!

    This is so fun. I love that it spells out YA. Now you just have to do this with books: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDy2xWpZWVc&feature=fvwrel. And make it spell TAKEN :)

      I *wish* I owned enough books to make a line that long. Man, the patience those kids must have had setting that thing up!

      To be honest, I was sort of shocked I managed to pull it off in one go ;)

      Ooh, I didn't even think about carpeting. They probably don't make as nice of a "shunck" sound as they fall over, huh? :(
