I'm guessing Green Eggs and Ham for Childrens. (but it's most likely incorrect) :-)
Classics: Little Women
Children's: Pat the Bunny maybe?
Classics: Little Women
Authors: V. S. Naipaul
Children's: I'll guess Pat the Bunny
Classics: Little Women, duh
Non-Fiction: I feel like I should know this, but I don't.
Book Club: The Witch of Exmoor. Oh, I haven't read that one in ages. I think I need to remedy that.
Authors: Naipaul
Book Bag: Spenser. I only know this because I used to know someone named Susan Silverman. I've never read these books.
Little Women and VS Naipaul. You're back!
Children's: The Poky Little Puppy? (This is a guess.)
Classics: Little Women
Non-Fiction: I don't know.
Book Club: I don't know
Authors: Naipul (though I probably spelled that wrong)
Book Bag: Spenser
Hi!
Children's: Don't know but I want it to be Green Eggs and Ham.
Classics: Little Women
Authors: Naipaul
So 2 out of 6, and one that's all wishful thinking. :p
Ooh I actually know two of them this week. 1) The Poky Little Puppy, and 2) Little Women.
Children's: The Poky Little Puppy
Classics: Little Women
Non-Fiction: Jerry Garcia's
Book Club: The Witch of Exmoor
Authors: V.S. Naipaul
Book Bag: Spenser
So we did well, except for a dearth of Grateful Dead fans here! I'm pretty sure that the early and continuous (Little Golden Book) publication for The Poky Little Puppy is why it's the best-selling.
