Welcome to our newest brain teaser: BLANKO

The rules are simple:

The Challenger poses and indicates either a title or the name of an author, but not both.

The Contestants guess the title or author and post their answer; if they can, the solve the entire title. They can also suggest another letter to fill in one of the blanks.

At the end of the day if the puzzle is not solved,
the Challenger then must add only one of the suggested letters the contestants have suggested, everywhere it appears.

The winner becomes the new challenger.

Ex:

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

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

What is it?

Good Luck !!

T?

A Winner among us. And she has the author too. Coming out in October. I'll wait until the library gets a copy. Did you see the price for a Kindle copy -- $15.00

Congratulations, JoanP!!

I saw an announcement about Grisham's new book when we were considering adding his "Fetching Raymond" to the Short Stories event.

Here's another- inspired by the Short Stories discussion -

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood?

I bet that's it. JoanP, sometimes I think you can win a quiz anytime you choose to look at it seriously, your pattern recognition skills are so good.

Frybabe · « **Reply #4353 on:** August 03, 2013, 10:59:22 AM »

JoanP wins the Jackpot. Congratulations.

Yes! A blast from the past, I remember watching Robin Hood on TV with Richard Greene starring.

JoanP · « **Reply #4354 on:** August 03, 2013, 11:53:39 AM »

Here to collect my prize!

Never read Robin Hood - probably should. Saw a number of films.

Here's this week's poser - an oldie I've never read. (but intend to) - though did recently read another well known title by this author. Fiction~
