The last few Paris quizzes have been challenging, so I thought I’d make things a little easier this week.  Just unscramble the titles of these classic novels set in France. I chose them because I think you’ll recognize them all!

Just for some extra help here are the authors who wrote them-Camus, Hemingway, Dickens, Hugo, Collette, Dumas, Leroux

This is the last quiz before a winner is announced, but there is still time to participate and be entered for a fun prize (details here).  This week I’m giving you 4 titles that have recently come into my house and I want you to mix it up 🙂

The more the merrier, right now the winner will receive a $42 B&N gift card, but will get an extra $1 for every new quiz taker 🙂  Just leave your answers in the comments.

For each title make 5 NEW words from the letters.  (For instance for Scarlet one of the words could be scar).  5 words for each title will give you 20 words.  I know you all do it just for fun and to exercise your brain, but I’ll go ahead and give you points too.  5 points if no one else makes the same word and one point if they do.  Have fun 🙂

Brewster, Someday Someday Maybe, Six Years, Scarlet

Last week’s Name Game quiz here.  Leaderboard here.

So, it’s March Madness, brackets are being filled out, money is exchanging hands, too many hours will be spent listening to the ‘experts’.  And I love every minute of it!  Jason and I have our standing bet -winner picks the next FIVE theater movies-and the pressure is on since I’ve lost two years in a row 😦  If you have any inside information for my bracket I’ll throw in a few extra points this week.  Anyway, on to the quiz.  I thought we’d form our own 10 man team of tall guys.  Yes, I realize that Clive at 81 will probably be a bench warmer, but he IS tall.  See if you can list these authors from shortest to tallest.  Some share the same height so you have extra chances to get that right 😉
