Scrambled Johns – guessing closed
Okay, I’ve been negligent in posting quizzes these past few weeks and I have no excuse except that I have been very busy (and sick so that doesn’t help). We’ll see if I can get another week or two in and then crown a winner for this round.
No Googling or looking at other commenter answers. Yes, we’re going by the honor system 🙂 Play every week or just one time, you are always welcome 🙂 It only takes once to be eligible for a prize.
Leave your guesses as a comment. Good luck!!

I can’t believe I’ve only read two of these. Suffer the Children years and years ago. I think I was a preteen. And I HATED Confederacy of Dunces. I own almost all of the rest.
I almost missed this quiz. Somehow, I’m getting your posts as a weekly digest now. Not sure how that happened. Going to my settings to switch it back to daily. 🙂
120 perfect points! I loved ACOD! The black humor was so shocking when I first read it that I couldn’t help but laugh. Not sure how I’d feel about it now, but I’ve been wanting to read it again.
Just goes to show that not everybody likes the same books. Authors need to remember that. 😉
Sorry you’re still not feeling 100%. Hope you get to feeling your old self soon. *hugs*
