Children's: What is Anne Shirley's oft-repeated term for an "intimate friend" in the Anne of Green Gables series?
Classics: What famed 20th-century novel do fans gather to read aloud every June 16, on Bloomsday?
Non-Fiction: What Ann Coulter diatribe was subtitled: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism?
Book Club: What city is home to the alley in Naguib Mahfouz's Children of the Alley?
Authors: What author of Pronto famously advised budding writers "Try to leave out all the parts readers skip"?
Book Bag: What do P.D. James' initials stand for--Patricia Dalgliesh, Penelope Dell or Phyllis Dorothy?
Children's: "Bosom friend" (I was always more a Little House on the Prairie kid, but I loved the PBS series with Megan Follows)
ReplyDeleteClassics: Ulysses
Book Bag: Phyllis Dorothy, I think
And please let me be the first to make a snarky joke about filing Ann Coulter under "non-fiction" *grin*
Children's: "Bosom Friend," although I nearly answered "kindred spirit," which is the phrase I gleaned from the book as I child and reused regularly. But as much as i adored the Anne books, I loved Montgomery's Emily of New Moon series even more.
ReplyDeleteClassics: Ulysses
Non-Fiction: Treason
Book Club: I haven't read this particular book, but based on a couple of others that I've read, I'll guess Cairo
Authors: I feel I should know this, but can't think of it.
Book Bag: Phyllis Dorothy.
I am so relieved that I knew te first two. I rarely have any idea of what these answers are.
ReplyDeleteChildrens: Bosom Friend (Yay for Anne!)
ReplyDeleteClassics: Ulysses
Guess on Book Bag: Penelope Dell (because I enjoy the name Penelope) :-)
Children's: "bosom friend"
ReplyDeleteClassics: Ulysses (blech)
Nonfiction: Treason
Book Club: Alexandria? Because I like Alexandria? I really don't know. It is probably Cairo really.
Book Bag: Phyllis Dorothy. I'm guessing. Probably because "Dorothy" reminds me of Dorothy Sayers, who also writes mysteries.

Possibly the 3rd one? The Dalgliesh option seems too convenient
The only one I knew was Phyllis Dorothy, but I see a couple of other people beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteChildren's: "kindred spirit"

Thanks to Alison for the requisite joke about the category for Ann Coulter, and to everybody who guessed the common Victorian term for best friend, "bosom friend." I wonder if the answer on this card is a little bit of a trick question.
Children's -- bosom friend.
ReplyDeleteClassics -- Ulysses (though I've never read it myself)
Non-fiction -- I run the opposite direction of Ann Coulter, so I can't answer this one.
Book Club -- Cairo? Three of his books are known as the Cairo Trilogy, so I'm going with that one.
Authors -- no idea.
Book Bag -- I think it's Phyllis Dorothy.
I did not Google a single one of these before posting! Now I must check and feel embarrassed.
