Children's: "Bosom friend" (I was always more a Little House on the Prairie kid, but I loved the PBS series with Megan Follows)
Classics: 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.
Classics: 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.
Childrens: Bosom Friend (Yay for Anne!)
Classics: Ulysses
Guess on Book Bag: Penelope Dell (because I enjoy the name Penelope) :-)
Children's: "bosom friend"
Classics: 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.
Bosom friend
Ulysses
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.
Children's: "kindred spirit"
Classics: Ulysses
Non-Fiction: Treason
Book Club: Cairo
Authors: Elmore Leonard
Book Bag: Phyllis Dorothy
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.
Classics -- 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.
