[Update on 03/29/2017: The answers are at the bottom, for those who guessed! Winners will receive an email.]
Well friends, I’m traveling again which means the blog must fend for itself while I’m gone. In the past–sometimes when I travel I do this little thing called “10 Truths and 2 Lies“…and it is that time again.
Are you ready to win stuff?!
Here’s how the game works:
I will provide a list of 12 facts about myself. Two of those facts…are LIES. Identify both the lies in your comment (you get only one guess!) then when I come back from my trip the winner(s) will receive an envelope of bookish swag with a note from me, AND…an ebook of their choice from my series.
You can see the past two 10 Truths 2 Lies posts here and here. Are you ready to see how well you know me? (Tweet this) Here we go:
- I’ve held a tarantula
- My hair is naturally straight
- I have gone ziplining
- I’ve read the Harry Potter series every single year since they came out.
- I’ve eaten polar bear meat
- I’m right handed
- I have four siblings
- I’m ticklish
- Bacon makes me sick.
- I can do a backflip
- I’ve crashed a motorcycle
- I was held back a grade in math.
Also, if you ever want to participate or do you own, use the hashtag #10truths2lies on social media so I can find your blog post and guess on your lies! The answers will be revealed in next week’s blog post!
Your turn:
Tell me 2 truths and 1 lie below and see if I can guess! 😀

THE LIES ARE:
4.) I’ve read the Harry Potter series every year since they came out.
This is a lie, though I admit it was a cruel one for me to tell, because I know a lot of you know I’m a fan of Harry Potter, but even I don’t have the time to read them all every year! I usually get through a few here and there, but never the whole series.
5.) I’ve eaten polar bear meat
Definitely not! I don’t even know where people would do that sort of thing. LOL. But I have eaten fermented shark. (don’t ask…)
I think the two lies are that you’ve eaten polar bear meat, and bacon makes you sick.
How could anyone not like bacon?? 😉
Good try! You were right with the polar bear meat, but sadly bacon DOES make me sick. Greasy stuff is like swallowing a very squirmy rock…
I’m guessing … you don’t have four siblings and you’re not ticklish? (7 and 8 are lies?)
Now here are mine:
1. I went to art school in Chicago.
2. I once went from Ft. Lauderdale to Bimini in a 20-foot boat.
3. I have read War & Peace.
4. I have gone scuba diving with sharks and no cage.
5. I am allergic to Brussels sprouts.
6. I turned 50 last year.
7. I was introduced to Michael Jordan and didn’t know who he was.
8. I’m a water ski champion.
9. I have the same genetic disease as Hemingway.
10. I was a vegetarian for 15 years.
11. My mother-in-law fed my 1-year-old vegetarian son an entire pork chop.
12. I once paddled my open kayak into an alligator nest.
Bwahahahaa…
Have a great trip!!
Ooooh *thinks hard* I have no idea but I’m going to pick number 2 and 9 as the lies.
Hope your travels go well! <3
Both are truths! My hair is naturally straight and bacon sits in my stomach like a boulder. (Though I like the taste!)
My travels went great, thank you! <3
I HAVE NO IDEA. But i’m gonna take a guess at 6 & 9 (because…. bacon).
Here are my 2 truths and 1 lie:
Panic at the Disco is my comfort music.
I wrote about the carcass of a chicken when i was eleven.
I’m obsessed shipping my friends.
Both are truths! Though as a kid I always wished I was left handed. And sadly, my stomach just can’t handle bacon (though I do enjoy the taste..for a nibble here and there.)
Okay is your lie…Panic at the Disco?
My guess is… #7 and #10?
Good try, but nope! Those are both true. 😛 Thank you for guessing, though! (Regarding the backflip, I can only do it on the trampoline. 😛 )
Six and ten are my guess…?
Here we go: I hate avocado, my dream is to have a German Shepherd, and I’ve never read a contemporary romance that I liked.
Nope, both are true! Thanks for guessing though!
I’m going to guess….contemporary romance? Because there are some good ones out there! I just know it! And I can’t bear the idea of you hating avocados. 😛
#10 and #12
Hey there, wonderful pink-haired friend of mine! You are wrong! 😛 I CAN do a back flip and I CANNOT do math. 😛

5 and 7??
These are always SO hard because you totally do all that crazy stuff!
You got one right! I have NOT eaten polar bear meat, but I do have four siblings. 🙂
I’m glad you enjoy these! I have fun coming up with the truths, though I’m running out of good ones. 😉
I guess 5 and 9 are lies.
You got one right! But sadly need both to win the ebook.
5 = lie
9 = truth
I’ve posted the correct answers in the blog post above!
Ooh this is fun ! Umm I know you’re right handed and you are four siblings (from your feed). You’re adventurous so zip lining is a possibility. I’d say you have lied about polar bear meat and bacon?
Polar bear meat? Yes.
Bacon? No. 😛
You got one of them right!
5 and 10 are my guesses.
I live on a sandbar
I touched an elephant
I have six siblings
Um… I’m going to guess that three and seven are lies. *nods* It’s really hard with some of these facts, but there was a couple I knew beforehand. xD It was awesome. I really like when you do these. xP
Okay, mine are:
1. I hate pink. Every shade of pink. Blech.
2. When I was little I wanted to be a singer.
3. I visited New York when I was four years old.
Oh. Whoops. o.o I gave two lies. *sheepish* Only one of those is true.
I think the two lies are: 5) I’ve eaten polar bear meat. 7) I have four siblings.
5 & 9 or 7 & 12… I’ll go with 7 & 12! ?
Okay – 2 truths, 1 lie
1. I’ve stayed at the Luxor in Vegas
2. I’ve swam with a dolphin
3. I’ve met Jane Seymour
I’m gonna guess 5 and 7. It was so difficult to choose! Haha
Here goes nothing: ?
1. I’ve ridden an elephant
2. I love cottage cheese
3. As a child, I always wanted to be a Firefighter.
Number six and 10 are my guesses! 🙂
My guess is 6 and 10 are lies 🙂
I’m guessing your lies are:
4. I’ve read the Harry Potter every single year since they came out.
8. I’m ticklish
Here are mine:
1. I currently own eight pairs of boots
2. I’m allergic to potatoes
3. I can’t drink black coffee
Ahh 10 and 4 so many of these are weird…… There Are a few I know are true but not enough not to have to take a guess.
Okay two truths and one lie:
1. I really like bacon but don’t eat it
2. I teach scripture
3. I play violin
So, unless someone was missing in that Christmas picture on your Twitter, no. 7 is a lie…and I feel like no. 4 might be a lie as well? Not because you’re not a huge Harry Potter fan(I know you are), but the first book came out 20 years ago and you probably would have been a small child at that point.
(also, I think you meant to say “the Harry Potter series”, not just “the Harry Potter”?)
From memory you are one of four, so #7 is a lie. Now I’m tossing between #10 or #12 haha but I’ll go with #10!
So #7 and #10
This was really hard, but I think I am going with 6 & 9!
Mine:
1. Hunger Games is my favorite series.
2. I love tea more than coffee.
3. I’ve been out of the country before.
Ok so my guess is your lies are number 4 and 5.
Your turn 😉
1) I can’t sing
2) I’m a LOTR superfan, but never read through the whole series
3) I’ve never had a boyfriend
YAHHH! You guessed them both correctly! HURRAY! *throws confetti everywhere* Shoot me a message through my contact page to claim your prize!!
Okay, I’m going to guess that you lie is…1?
Your really good 😉 Yes, that was my lie.
Okay
My guess is that 6 and 10 are the lies xD
Good try, but no! 😛 Those are both true! (Though when I was a kid I always wished I was left handed!)
I’ve posted the correct answers in the blog post above if you want to know!
Okay, I’m going to say that the two lies are:
-I’ve read the Harry Potter every single year since they came out.
-I’ve eaten polar bear meat
As for me, guess which is a lie 🙂
-I took ballet lessons
-I lived in Italy
-I went scuba diving in the Bahamas
You guessed them both correctly! Congrats! Woohoo! *throws confetti everywhere* Shoot me a message through my contact page to claim your prize!!
Okay, I’m going to guess that your lie is…you took ballet lessons? (Because I just really want it to be true that you lived in Italy. That would be awesome!)
*whispers* It looks like Samantha B. also said the lies were 4 and 5, so there are two winners. 🙂 Just thought you might want to know. 😉
Ooh, good catch! I hadn’t made it through all the comments yet, but I’d skimmed them. Glad you pointed her out! *runs to throw confetti at Samantha B*
Yeah! I’m so happy to be a winner 😀 And thank you Mary for pointing it out!
No problem! Congrats on winning. 😀
Yaaaay! I’m so happy I got them right!
Actually, my lie is that I scuba dived. I did live in Italy and I did take ballet lessons! ^_^
4 and 7
You guessed one correctly! #4 was a lie — I have NOT read the HP Series every year since they came out. Bravo! But you needed to guess both to win. Still, I hope you had fun!
I’ve posted the correct answers in the blog post above if you’re interested!
7 and 11 are my guesses for lies 😉
Good try but….both are true! (Though I really wish I HADN’T crashed my dad’s motorcycle. 😉 It was so pretty! Still, there were no injuries.)
I’ve posted the correct answers in the blog post above if you’re interested!
Hmmmmmm . . . I’m going to say 2 and 7 are the lies. I really have no idea!
Here’s mine:
1 – I live on an off-grid homestead.
2 – I hate apple cider.
3 – I adopted a stray cat.
Any ideas???
1. I’ve held a tarantula – True (Newsletter)
2. My hair is naturally straight – Maybe true…
3. I have gone ziplining – True
4. I’ve read the Harry Potter every single year since they came out. – True (based on the Goodreads “finished reading” list)
5. I’ve eaten polar bear meat – Lie?
6. I’m right handed – True (Photo)
7. I have four siblings – True (Blog)
8. I’m ticklish – True
9. Bacon makes me sick. – Maybe
10. I can do a backflip – ????
11. I’ve crashed a motorcycle – True (Blog)
12. I was held back a grade in math. – ???
I’m going to go with 5 and 10…
You are such a sleuth!!! Very close, but only one guess was correct.
5 = a lie (bravo!)
10 = true! I can do a backflip.
The other lie was #4, which I do feel bad that Goodreads led you wrong. As much as I’ve always wished I had, I have not read the series every single year. *sigh*
I love all the research you did with this! It totally made my day!
Oh man, this is hard! I’m going to go with 5 and 12, but I’ll probably be completely wrong. XD (Although I think polar bear meat is dangerous to eat so that’s one reason I’m going with that. :P)
Here are mine (even though you don’t know me really; you can just guess XD):
1. I’ve been sick on every major holiday
2. I once slammed my head in a car door
3. I’ve eaten a scorpion lollipop before
By the way, do you mind if I so this on my blog sometime? It looks like a lot of fun. 😀
Can I try this on my Facebook page?
