Nicole | 1752 comments Combine two book, play, or poem titles to make a 'before and after' phrase or name or combine a book, play, or poem title with another name, phrase, etc. to form a 'before and after.' (Leave out 'the', 'a', etc. at the beginning if needed.)

Examples:

LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness + Styron's Darkness Visible = The Left Hand of Darkness Visible

Martin's YA series The Babysitter's Club + club sandwich = The Babysitter's Club sandwich

Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry + Potter book = Debbie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

One element must be a title, and you don't have to play off others' posts.

Have fun with it!

(I know I didn't have to use all of both titles but it just seemed to work!)
