Here's a fun idea I saw over at Pen and Paper. Take ten books from your TBR pile and arrange the titles so they tell a story. Considering I have so many books waiting to be read, there were plenty of titles to choose from. Here's what I came up with.
When the Ground Turns in its Sleep (Sylvia Sellers-Garcia)
[and] The Dead Hour (Denise Mina) [approaches],
The Great Stink (Clare Clark) [caused by]
Holy Fools (Joanne Harris)
In the Company of Others (Jan Karon)
[was] Not Quite What I Was Planning (edited by Smith magazine).
[Despite having] Heart and Soul (Maeve Binchy),
The Art of Racing in the Rain (Garth Stein) [is quite difficult].
[After all, we all know] Life is a Three-Ring Circus (Rebecca Kelly)
[and] Being Dead is No Excuse (Gayden Metcalfe & Charlotte Hays) !

What a fun idea! I'll give it a whirl if I get the time this weekend!
I like these memes!
Oh my gosh, I've never seen this done before. I love your story made from the titles of your books. Great job.

Glad you give it a go - it was fun wasn't it? The only problem was I could have gone on forever. I really liked your choice of books and thought you told a wonderful tale.
I love it! Great story and those titles work so perfectly together.
Kelly (and Petty) what a wonderful idea! You did a great job drawing us in, Kel.
Think I'll post one on my own blog and try to do it with JUST the mystery/thriller books I have piled up.
Watch for it!

Move Being Dead is No Excuse to the top of your list. It is HILARIOUS.
Oh this was great and so fun! I'm definitely going to have to try this!
This was a lot of fun and I hope those of you who said you'd try it really will. I'll be waiting!
Bob - I remembered you liked that book and promise I'll read it in 2011!
