People On Twitter Are Making Book Titles "More Canadian" And It's Hilarious
The newest Twitter challenge asks users to #MakeABookCanadian. The challenge is to, of course, take book titles and "Canada-fy" them.
The challenge was proposed in honour of World Book Day, an occasion to promote writing and reading books for a brighter, more educated future.
Boy, did the internet ever rise to the challenge to deliver hilarious book titles... From clever re-writes to hilarious stereotypes, all of the titles proposed by Twitter are hilarious.
TL;DR Penguin Books Canada launched the #MakeABookCanadian hashtag and Twitter is sharing their hilarious Canadian takes on classic book titles.
The challenge was started by the publishing group Penguin Books Canada. The tweet that started the trending hastag was posted earlier today to their Twitter account:
Penguin books had many other ideas for Canadian books, and they tweeted a bunch out:
