BOOK-A-HOLICS discussion

I thought I start a new game. Heres how it is played. You give 4 clues that can help name the book. Whoever names the right book gets to give 4 clues for another book. If no one can name the book then the person who made up the 4 clues makes up another 4 clues to a different book. Make sense? Let me start the game off with an easy one.

"The Diary of Anne Frank"

Katie,

from a long time ago, was that the book or is the book 'Chasing Vermeer'?

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore? (great book!)


1.Offred

The "Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood ??

If that is correct then:

3. Alcoholic photographer wife
4. Rudolph Jordache

Kenzie, it was Girl with the Pearl Earring

Lori,
I tried...if you read your clues, somehow it works for me anyway as a possible answer. What is the book?

Shawnee,

The Handmaid's Tale.

Rita -- my message #22 clues were for A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. Shawnee guessed it correctly. I have never read the Diary Of Anne Frank....

I'm Confused...
Someone start a new set of clues.

1.Fountain
2.Vase
3.Little sister
4.Dunkirk

Atonement? (by Ian McEwan)

Fenixbird,
My guess for your clues is

Rich Man Poor Man by Irwin Shaw

I guess if Ldtchr is correct with Atonement then it's her turn to list clues.

Just in case, here's a set:

1. The Wild Hunt
2. 5 university students
3. Children of the Light
4. Guinevere

This is a wild guess since I only recognize one clue and haven't read any of the books. Is it- Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan?

Nope, afraid not.

maybe, Ldtchr you should give us new clues and the title to that other book:)

Sorry for the delay - prepping an exam and had a sick husband. Anyway, the book was The Darkest Road (Fionavar Tapestry trilogy) by Guy Gavriel Kay.

New Clues:
1. Elphaba the green-skinned infant
2. Clock of the Time Dragon
3. Ruby Slippers
4. Murder

Hey, I know one! Is it Wicked?

if so...

1. Baptists
2. Congo
3. Ruth May
4. Nelson

The Poisonwood Bible?

If so,

1. Tea Cake
2. Sugar cane
3. Lake Okeechobee
4. Rabies

Wow! Two in a row! There eyes were watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.

if so...

1. Thief
2. Gold
3. Cassie
4. Godfrey

Way to go Tana!

Opps..I'm sorry I forgot to come back here. The answer was Silas Marner by George Eliot.

1. Mrs. Fairfax
2. Moor House
