If you play you are eligible for a prize at the end of the round (sometime in June). For all of the details, click here. Submit your answers in the comment section – I will stop by and hide them throughout the week but try not to copy off anyone else

Are you trying to earn extra points by sucking up to a proud mom? It works! 1 point for you 🙂 That plus the other 30 + the free space is a pretty good 41 points.

1. HG Wells
2. JRR Tolkien

Sorry I missed last weeks quiz, this one looks super hard
1. HG Wells and that’s all I got lol
Good enough for 20 points 🙂
I have NO idea! I think Wilde is the one who had a lover’s quarrel with the world? Maybe? 🙂 Tough one!
I do like to challenge 🙂
I don’t know any of them. But I’ll take a few guesses…
Beren is probably Tolkien
Called Back sounds like something Vonnegut would want on his tombstone
I had a lover’s quarrel with the world… maybe Dickinson
Now my head hurts. lol
Well, your headache was good for 20 points 🙂
