Children's: The Big Bad Pig, of course!
Classics: To Kill a Mockingbird
Non-Fiction: Black Hawk Down. I haven't read it, but my brother was an extra in the movie, so we heard all about it.
Book Club: ? I've heard of the collection, but I don't remember the author. I don't think it was someone I had heard of before.
Authors: Alice Walker
Book Bag: No idea, but I think I need to go look this one up.
Classics is To Kill a Mockingbird, and that's all I got, though my guess for Children's is that it's something like The Big Bad Pig or The Evil Pig.
And I don't know who put a tombstone for Zora Neale Hurston, but hooray for whoever it was!
Children's: A pig?
Classics: To Kill a Mockingbird
Non-Fiction: ?
Book Club: ?
Authors: Alice Walker

This was a tricky week!
I knew one!
Classics: To Kill A Mockingbird
Unforunately no clue on the rest. :-)
Book Club: Andrea Barrett! (She's a good writer, although a little cold.)
Children's: The Big Bad Pig
Classics: To Kill a Mockingbird
Non-Fiction: Black Hawk Down
Book Club: Andrea Barrett
Authors: Alice Walker
Book Bag: Bill Pronzini
The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig was a big favorite when Walker was little.
I guess Bill Pronzini is as unknown to you all as he was to me... ReadersGuide is the only one who could come up with the author of Ship Fever! Only Harriet got Black Hawk Down, and she and Avid Reader knew it was Alice Walker who put up a stone for Hurston.
