Wow, I am pathetic. I only know two of the answers without Googling:
Children's -- Maurice Sendak
Authors -- I think it's Elmore Leonard
I'll go for
Classics: The Sun Also Rises
and
Authors: Hemingway
but I'm not *sure* of either.
Children's: Sendak
Classics: Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
Non-Fiction: ?
Book Club: Ya-ya
Authors: Elmore Leonard. Didn't we have another question about Leonard recently? Or am I losing my marbles?
Book Bag: ?
Umm...this is a test I'd FAIL.
All I know is Sendak for the first one.
Children's: Maurice Sendak
Classics: The Sun Also Rises
Non-Fiction: Rick Bass
Book Club: Ya-Ya
Authors: Elmore Leonard
Book Bag: Iris Johansen
I thought this was a hard round; we're getting down to the last few cards I picked out from the first half of the cards from the game--and these are the ones on which I knew three out of six answers, so I doubt many of you would find the discards any easier! The clue for "The Sun Also Rises" struck me as particularly difficult, even if you know the book.
So well done if you got even one of these!
Harriet, yes, there was another question about Elmore Leonard quite recently. Not a writer I admire much, but good for this game, I guess. And as I said, I'm down to the last few cards from one of the packs and about to open another in a few more weeks.
huh! I thought you wrote the questioons!
