*What have we learned? We should all be using initials. EH Seckman out.
Wow. You must be slightly ahead of NY. It's still letter T here.

Cool hop.

LOL. I'm on NY time too. Kathy at I'm a Reader asked that posts go up before midnight to ensure all links are active. I wasn't sure if I'd be awake to double check at midnight. So, you're not off time, I am!
DeleteI knew four!
ReplyDeleteWay to go A.J. Cavanaugh...hmmm...I think the Alex J is better. Seems you were already hip to the initial thing!
DeleteOnly two this time. Initials are the way to go!

DeleteYee-haw!!! I got 4 right!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're a reader, for sure!
DeleteClassics! :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I knew all of them....woo hoo! :)
ReplyDeleteI am adding you to my Jeopardy team!
DeleteA got a few right! Always makes me feel a little smarter ;)
ReplyDeleteAlways good to feel smart :)
DeleteGot the titles, but it's too early to think of the authors as well :-)
ReplyDeleteTrue. Half my brain sleeps until noon too.
Delete1,3 and bonus. I already have both books and nice of you to have a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good showing!
DeleteI got two. :)
ReplyDeleteProbably the really good ones. :)
DeleteHaha you are right about the initials! Never thought of that.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to learn about the giveaway, how fun and what a great title. :)
I'd love to take the credit, but I'm just riding on coat tails. Kathy at "I'm a Reader, Not a Writer" has a wonderful site with lots of eager readers.
DeleteYAY!! I got them all right today. Guess I'm a reader and a writer :)
ReplyDeleteYou are!! You can be the master of the library for the day!
DeleteWoot! four (and the bonus), but I think you might be onto something with the letters. I'll have to think about that.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? You think I missed the boat already?
DeleteManaged three today! Great giveaway you've got going on.
ReplyDeleteI'm just a participant...but thanks for thinking I'm that organized ;)
DeleteI think I got them all! Go me!
ReplyDeleteGreat of you to do a giveaway, Elizabeth. :)
I'm not at all surprised wise lady.
DeleteI love to do give aways. I like to give gifts and this is sort of the same thing.

Sorry, where was I? I knew the answers. Wow and yay me!
Kind regards,

You should have gotten a Grammy!
DeleteI got the first 3 and Harry Potter, of course!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
Delete#2 would have drove me crazy if you didn't say. It sounded so familiar. The rest I knew. :)
ReplyDeleteGood thing I didn't go with the idea of making people wait until the next day to get the answers!
Delete#1 - LOTR
ReplyDelete#2 - LOTR
#3 - LOTR
#4 - LOTR
#5 - LOTR
Bonus - LOTR (YA Edition)
Sorry, when you start a list with LOTR, I'm able to see little else. :-)
LOL. Hmm, a LOTR YA edition...you might be on to something!
DeleteI got them all but #2. I've never read that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I read it twice...never did quite get it. Well written, but not one of my favorite books.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Sorry I missed this hop. I just saw the titles and knew them all before scrolling down.I read them all and loved them.
ReplyDeleteI've read them all too. Loved most of them...liked them all!
DeleteApparently, not very! LOL, Guess after hopping around I'm gettin' dizzy! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDizzy or not, I'm just happy you stopped by!
DeleteWoo hoo, finally some I knew! ;)
ReplyDeleteYay you're a reader and a writer too!
Deletehow smart my trivia ? i am afraid that just so-so ;p
ReplyDeletethx 4 the giveaway :)
My pleasure :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
This was fun ! Thanks so much for making this international xx
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. Got to love readers, whether on the same continent or not!
DeleteI got all the books but missed a few authors.
ReplyDeleteI love Spring. It's when the cold and ice of winter melts away and flowers begin to bloom. The grass becomes green again. The birds chirp in the trees. And the weather warms, which is probably the very best part! So far, I have experienced many April showers. I can't wait for their inevitable consequence: flowers!
Thanks for the giveaway and Happy Spring!

The popping up of the flowers is the best part of spring. And the air smells so fresh. I love that too.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I only got 2 right! So I guess I'm not really good with the classics! Because I only guessed the newer books! Thank you so much for your generous giveaway prize!! Thank you so much for a chance to win and for being a part of this fun and awesome blog hop!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! And even getting a few is better than none. :)
DeleteYay!! 3 out of 5 plus bonus! *happy dance* Thanks for the amazing giveaway! :D
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! I'll happy dance with you!!
DeleteI only knew two:( I thought I was a true bibliophile but I think I need to brush up;)
ReplyDeleteBlame it on badly worded questions. ;)
DeleteWell, I got 3 out of the 6. 50% eesh! Can I have a retest? :) And I agree initials are the way to go!
ReplyDeleteYes, you may retest!
DeleteMy trivia-brain could use a little work. LOL. I also agree initials are the way to go. Thank you for the amazing giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure! Thanks for stopping by. :)
