As everyone has

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Opposite of Complications
As everyone has...

As everyone has probably seen, there's a game at the moment called Complications, where one person posts the title of a book and the next person makes a very long-drawn-out, complicated version of that title and posts the next title. This is the opposite of this game, as suggested by Lupine! A person posts a very complicated version of a book title, the next person tries to guess what the book was originally called and posts the next complicated version.

First one: A Very Miniscule Place Where People Usually Live Which Happens To Be In The Middle Of An Expanse Of Grasses, Wildflowers, Etc.

@Lexi: ...Ghosts of Greenglass House? Is that a book?

@Phoenix Tears: mine was actually A Darker Shade of Magic, but that's fairly close. I don't think it's very well known.

next:

Well, I don't know the previous comment, so I suppose I'll just do my own Complication?

So I feel like this is Lord of the Rings but I literally have no idea what happens in those books so I could be completely wrong.
