Thursday Thirteen #36 — Thirteen Thirteens

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

Carol at Thursday Thirteen asked us to help celebrate 100 weeks of thirteening by listing our favorite Thirteens.

Last weekend, I asked you guys which you liked best. Taking that into account, here’s my list of the best Thirteens that concern ShapeShifter. And let me tell you, I think the only thing harder than going back over 35 Thirteens to find a limited number would be picking out my favorite outtakes. Please don’t make me do that next.

1. Green Hair Week.
I loved this one not just because of what’s in it, but because this was the first multi-day story arc.

2. Tour of Riverview
I still refer back to this one a lot, but that’s because it’s an important one! Not as funny as most, but important nonetheless.

3. Mitchell and Kerri’s Farm house
Many of you guys responded to this one. I’m not sure why, unless you really dug the fact that these rock stars live as normally as the rest of us.

4. Trevor’s Kitchen
‘Nuff said.

5. Halloween.
I think many, if not most of you, came on board after this inaugural Thirteen was posted. You’re missing a good one.

6. Loving and Hating the Holidays

Some good, some bad, a lot of fun…

7. The Special Hanukkah Edition

The ladies of Riverview rip it up.

8. The Balancing Meme
The guys show why ShapeShifter rules the Earth. Or at least a journalist or two.

9. Mitchell’s Desk
Many of you connected to this one. It’s a spot whose mental image is particularly clear to me.

10. Valentine’s Day
The boys get their say.

11. The Aftermath of the Earring Debacle
I know the picture wasn’t great, but couldn’t you ooh and ahh over my earrings?

12. St. Patrick’s Day Adventures

Boys…

And lastly…
13. Mabel
How can you resist a guitar with this sort of history?



Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!

The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Have you picked out your book(s) for the Summer’s Hidden Treasure contest?

Happy Fourth, everyone! I will be late with rounds; we are sleeping out at the Science Center tonight. Let’s hope it doesn’t rain on our fireworks.

    I’ve only hit my 13th TT, so I couldn’t do a list like this, which is a Tony the Tiger Grrreat!! I love your banner with all the 13s and your encouragement to lose one’s fear of 13. LOL!

    Stopping by to say hello….BR/BR/Although I have never participated in a Thursday Thirteen, I certainly do enjoy reading some of the participants posts. I followed your Mitchell’s Desk link and now as I look around my desk I feel so very boring. There is nothing at all of interest on my desk. Oh wait, there is that love letter sitting in the corner , okay I feel better now. BR/BR/Please continue to have a glorious day!

BR/BR/Yes, the fact that the rockstars Mitchell and Kerri live as normal as the rest of us helps me to please one of my childhood dreams: LilSanni the rockstar! Hey, I live like a rockstar, deep inside I am a rockstar *LOL*

    Now, Susan, my novel has a lovely woman named Mabel, but she does not like being left behind or being smashed – or jumping into Naked Twister; well, it would probably cause her to blanche (or swoon). I left comments at a couple of your original thirteens. Love your choices.!

    Thank you for your comments on my 13. I am feeling better each week when I view and get comments from other writers. I had left a really great bunch of people in my writers group before I moved here and there’s been this huge void until now.
