  1. Great questions! Got all but one right – didn’t know the author of “His Dark Materials” since I haven’t read the books (but have watched the series). Will have to read the trilogy some day – when the stacks of books beside my bed gets much lower some day. Ha! treats to Handsome Harry from Desert Moose.

    1. Glad you enjoyed the questions! I don’t think my TBR book stack will ever get smaller; it keeps growing every year. Many treats to the Desert Moose!
