Beginnings Quiz – guessing closed
Border’s is finally closed and it is a good thing for my overpacked bookshelves. It became a fun trip for Gage and I to go and browse every few days and I’m embarrassed by how many books I brought home. All you need to do is tell me which book matches which first lines. Oh, I added a few extra books for fun 🙂
Please play along with us. For everyone who plays an extra $ goes to the winner and the everyone is entered for a special prize. Just leave a comment with your guesses and don’t google the answers.
