Tough ones this week!
Classics: Little Men
Non-Fiction: House
Book Club: The Blind Assassin
That's all I've got.
Classics: Well, Good Wives, but that doesn't really count, so Little Men and then Jo's Boys (not as good).
Book Club: The Blind Assassin
Book Bag: Roger Zelazny maybe? I feel like he has books with Amber in the title...
This may be a first. I actually know two answers and I've read both of the books.
Classics: Little Men
Book Club: The Blind Assassin
I knew the Classics one. Have you ever read A Long Fatal Love Chase? I enjoyed that one too.
2) Jo's Boys or Little Men
3) House
4) The Blind Assassin
I don't know the others this week!
Children's: Blackberries in the Dark
Classics: Little Men
Non-Fiction: House
Book Club: The Blind Assassin
Authors: Stephen White
Book Bag: Roger Zelazny
This seemed to me an obscure children's title, and the rest of you confirmed that!
The Zelazny books are a family favorite--Ron gave me the first one when I was supposed to be studying for a final exam in college, and I was kind of mad at him, since he knew I wouldn't be able to do anything else until I finished it!
And yes, at one point I read everything Alcott ever wrote.
