Looks like we're going to go through the whole alphabet again.  By my count we've guessed D, E, L, N, O, T, U, W, and everything I can think of needs one of those.

B?

Rats! Birder that I am, I looked up bird Box on Amazon, and it seems to be a horror story. Since I love birds, I hate books/movies that use them to scare people!

You must have disliked the Hitchcock film, The Birds, Joan K.

I don't remember why the book was called Bird Box.  Maybe just an analogy of some kind.  But the story keeps you turning pages.

I love birds. You can watch them in a bird house box on a window.
Never read that book. Is it good?
I will make a new puzzle tomorrow. Did you have a good halloween?

JoanK,

Since you are a bird lover, did you read the article today in Yahoo News about the research being done on hummingbirds?  Interesting, about how far they can migrate, how fast they can travel, and how they get to know where to find the feeders humans have made for them.
