It’s the end of the month and we’re finally at Z. Needless to say, I’m glad to see this month of every day blogging done. For today’s quiz it’s all about the Z. Good luck.
I hope that you’ll try your hand at my (mostly) bookish quizzes every week, but it’s okay if you just want to play when the quiz interests you. 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 
You have til Sunday to guess.
No need to know all the answers, one guess and you’ll be eligible for a prize. No Googling:)
1. This Timothy writes sci-fi novels, notably in the Star Wars series. What’s his last name? (I’ll give you and hint-it starts with Z) Timothy Zahn
2. This Aussie’s most popular book is about a Thief. Marcus Zusak
3.

Happy Alphabet-ing (alphabetting?) I only know a few of these and really should get back to work. 🙂
I like alphabetting, thanks 🙂
Congratulations on crossing the finish line! I’m always a little sad to see it end, but I guess it’s exactly right. Too much longer and it would lose some of its appeal.
Oh yes, I was ready to reach the finish line 🙂
