Children's: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
ReplyDeleteClassics: (guessing) Jo?? She's spunky, and I can picture her with short hair.
Book Club -- I think it's Gore Vidal.
I only know the classics one, and it's Jo. I should quit reading Friday's quizzes, I always come away depressed with my lack of knowledge :P
ReplyDeleteWhat Elizabeth said. Jo is the only answer I know for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe only one I can think of is that the misguided how-to book must be the Anarchist's Cookbook. Yes?
ReplyDeleteThe first one must be The Best Christmas Pageant Ever--I performed in a stage version my freshman year of high school.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Gore Vidal as well.
And although I don't know the answer to the Book Bag question, I'm pretty sure I heard an interview with the author, even though I can't name it now.

Getting two or three of these is doing really well, you know!
Okay, so I did not hear an interview with Terry Brooks--I was thinking of a different book by a different author. But I had heard of the book before.
ReplyDeleteJohn, hearing of it before counts...as much as anything counts, since I don't usually give prizes for correct answers!
