It's a brand new day for the trivial pursuit for booklover's questions... Why? Because I've opened a new package of cards. These have already been extremely difficult questions for most of us, and now I'm going to be posting ones I haven't checked to see that I know at least three out of the six... Why? Maybe because I was influenced by Dr. Horrible (singing "Brand New Day" on his sing-along blog). Or maybe because I think some of you might have read books I haven't. You decide. (mwahaha!)

I'm guessing Grapes of Wrath for the Classics, but I'm pretty sure it's correct.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I don't have a clue (although I don't think that's much different than normal). :-)
It's gotta be Jane Goodall, and I know Grapes of Wrath. Apart from that I have no idea.

I was with Jenny on this one--I knew only two, and the first was pretty much a guess. Now I don't feel so cruel about playing cards without pre-approving them, though--evidently nothing can stop the usual champion, Harriet, from getting all but one.
Avid Reader, glad to meet another Dr. Horrible fan! Just the name tickles me...sing-along blog.
Wow. Those are some hard cards!
