Welcome to:

Title Mania!

Title Mania is a simple game which should be a lot of fun! NO peeking at titles and authors, this brain teaser is intended to rack the old grey cells: entirely from your own memory!

Simply give the title of a book which begins with the last letter of the title before it: *

Ex: The Good Earth:
Answer:How Green Was My Valley.
Next: A book title which starts with Y

* We'll ignore A, An, and The in titles for this game.
** You may choose to IGNORE any title ending in Y and take the next letter to the Y instead (Pat rule!)
*** You may ignore numbers and take the next letter back..

How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Gosh what interesting titles.

What SHALL we do with numbers? Some books start with numbers, too. Let's make them optional as you did here.

ok an S working off Daddy Long LegS.....S's may be the next to be optional....The Sound and the Fury and there's a Y. Y may also be going soon...anybody think of another Y?..........
