BLANKO

Welcome to our newest brain teaser

The rules are simple:

The Challenger posts  either a title or the name of an author, not both.  One letter is supplied.  More information may be given, but isn't required.

Example:

Title of Book: three words, a prize winning novel:

   ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ T    __ ___   ___ ___ ___ ___


What is it?

The Contestants guess--the title (or author) if they can, or a letter.  One guess between appearances of the Challenger for each contestant.

At  the end of the day, or more often if the Challenger wants, the Challenger will add one or more of the letters the Contestants have suggested, everywhere it appears.  (Note that the original supplied letter might also appear elsewhere.)

The winner becomes the new Challenger.  


Good Luck !!

No, I haven't.  The synopsis I read was not something I thought I'd enjoy. 

Let me think a bit, and I'll put up a new puzzle tomorrow.

No hurry.

I felt the same way you did about it,  but my daughter said I would like it, and she's pretty accurate.  I still haven't read it though, even though she lent me her copy.
