I do not know any of these. That makes me feel a tiny bit bad about myself.
Oh Jenny, don't feel bad! These are really hard! I know three out of the six, which is why I played the card, but that's from years of studying for an oh-so-useful degree in literature...
Children's: Freddy, in the _Freddy the Detective_ series.
Classics - Paycock
Book Club - dog
Authors - Willa Cather
I only knew two - Paycock and Willa Cather.
Willa Cather, yes? That's the only one I can answer.
I knew one!!! But that's because I absolutely loved Song of the Lark. Hurrah!
I was going to guess Rose Wilder Lane, but now realize, with appropriate dope slap, that it's Cather.
Willa Cather is the only one I know.
Children's: Freddy (I loved the detective book, and I think it's Walter, Walker)
Book Club: a dog
Authors: Willa Cather
Avid Reader, thanks (second dope slap) I can't type the name "Walter" easily because I type Walker so much (my son's name)! Didn't mean to make that question harder!
Children's: Freddy
Classics: Paycock
Non-Fiction: The Yangtze
Book Club: A dog
Authors: Willa Cather
Book Bag: Dean Koontz
This is the first time we've missed any--maybe because Harriet is on vacation and she often knows the non-fiction one. Also I don't think we have to work up much shame for not knowing Koontz.
