Okay, mostly guessing:
Children's author: Noel Streatfeild
Classics: Love Story
Nonfiction: Glenn Beck?
Authors: Flannery O'Conner
Book Bag: James Bond
BB must be James Bond. The others...I dunno.
Well, Noel Streatfeild and James Bond, but that's it.
I just know Streatfeild, and only because of Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail." Shameful. :)
I only knew one, but it was the one I'm most glad I could get. I say it was probably Jaws as the bestseller. I remember reading it the summer it came out.
Children's: Noel Streatfeild
That's all I've got.
Tough ones!
I don't know any of these. Great questions as always! I love your literary trivia.
Children's: Noel Streatfeild
Classics: The Godfather
Non-Fiction: Laura Ingraham
Book Club: Cormac McCarthy
Authors: Eudora Welty
Book Bag: James Bond
These were tough ones, weren't they? Sounds like I need to watch You've Got Mail again, because I don't remember a Streatfeild reference!
