The Challenge Factory discussion

It’s time to play TCF Hangman II

This is an ongoing game that anyone can play. Jump in at any time to request a letter, but you have to have asked for at least one letter in order to make a guess at the puzzle.

To see if a certain letter is in the puzzle, read a book with a title or author's first or last name that starts with the letter that you’d like to guess (ignore a, an and the).

examples:
to ask for a B - The Beekeeper's Apprentice
to ask for a J - a book by Jane Austen
to ask for a W - a book by Scott Westerfeld
to ask for a F - 44 Scotland Street

You must finish your book after the puzzle is posted.
Books must be at least 150 pages.
For anthologies, go by the editor's name.

To make a guess at the quote, put your solution in a separate post.
Whoever gets it first, wins.

Good guess, Debbie. There are three L's.

And there is just one R.

Is it "Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have"?

It is, Theo. Do you know who says it?

Doesn't Hermione say it to Ron? Not sure which book...

Theo wrote: "Doesn't Hermione say it to Ron? Not sure which book..."

That's right. Um, I'd have to look up which book it was, too.

There is a new puzzle posted. I'm hoping I can hang a body part or two this time around :)

Great minds think alike, Lanelle! I had already set up a mention of the new thread as I'm working on the March Newsletter, and I'm scrolling through to get to another thread and this one caught my eye! You'll get flooded with members hopefully when that goes out!

Can I get an "H"please?

VampAmber, there are 4 Os. That will certainly help with the puzzle.

Leslie, there are 2 Hs.

I finished Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley.

Letter A?

I think I know what it is, but I admit that I had to cheat to see what book it was from. Is it (view spoiler)["Why don't you tell me about myself, Mr. Holmes?" (hide spoiler)]?

There is an A, Kari.

Amber, that's it! Congratulations! Have you read any of Laurie R. King's books?

The next puzzle will be posted first thing tomorrow morning.

I read A Study in Sherlock: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon last year and liked it, but I think she was only the editor (and wrote the introduction). Might try reading the first one eventually. After I lower my TBR numbers from the 2,500s...

A new puzzle has been posted.
