The book-loving community on Twitter is known for circulating literary-minded hashtags on a regular basis, and this week’s was #bookswithalettermissing. We brainstormed here in the office and got some good laughs (“The Brief & Wondrous Lie of Oscar Wao,” from Becky,” “Silence of the Labs” from Julie, and “Game of Scones” from David, who clearly reinterpreted.) We then tweeted it to our customers, who provided some pretty funny & clever responses:
