I thought it would take a lot longer to figure out the 'nincompoops' word. The quote is from one of my favorite books, The Scarlet Pimpernel.

I will post another quote around lunchtime."


My parents use "nincompoop" a lot, so I was familiar with it!

My mother called us kids 'snicklefritz' a lot. I'm pretty sure it was from her German heritage.

My grandmother on my dad's side was German, so that must have been where he got it!

A new quote has been posted with a tricky word.

Remember, your book must have been finished after this point.

VampAmber | 622 comments Ooh, first letter. ^_^ Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird.

Is there a T?


message 1406: by ⚜️XAR (new)

⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) I just finished Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet by Darynda Jones, is there a D?

VampAmber, there are 3 Ts. (It's the little things that make us happy!)

Trea, there are 2 Ds.

There are 3 Ls, Leslie.

VampAmber | 622 comments Ack! I know the quote (it's one of my favorites), but I don't want this one to be over yet! :(

Don't do that, Amber...don't call out that you know the quote but not solve it. It frustrates a lot of other players, because we're all waiting on you to see if you'll come back and solve it or not. I had to explain that to one player so much that they quit playing completely. Please make your guess at it, so Lanelle has time this morning to put up another quote.


message 1415: by VampAmber (new)

VampAmber | 622 comments My apologies. I thought I had made it clear I wasn't guessing, but apparently not. My bad. I just hate the idea of ending a puzzle after just 5 letters. If I go away until this one ends so that I don't ruin anybody else's fun, would that work? I just always feel kinda bad when she has to come up with a new puzzle so quickly...

I'd say just solve it personally, because I was going to post a book until I had read your comment that you knew what it was. It's not fair to ask you to not participate just because you know what the quote is so early on, but at the same time, to me, it's put the rest of us players in a holding pattern, or unwilling to post and seems a bit unfair too.


message 1417: by ⚜️XAR (new)

⚜️XAR the Bookwyrm (xar-the-bookwyrm) Amber messaged me and asked me to go ahead and post my book so that we can keep going with the puzzle, because she doesn't want to solve it so early. With that, I finished Wrong Question, Right Answer by Elle Casey last night at bedtime, so is there a C?


message 1418: by Lanelle, Production Chief (last edited Aug 09, 2016 08:51AM) (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
VampAmber, you are welcome to continue guessing letters to help others with the puzzle. I wouldn't even mind if you asked for wrong letters :)

Trea, there are no Cs.


message 1419: by Penni (new)

Penni | 996 comments Idol by Kristen Callihan

Is there a K


message 1420: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
There is 1 K, Penni.


message 1421: by Penni (new)

Penni | 996 comments One? One? I thought there were 2 lol.


message 1422: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
*grin* I had to go double check. There is just one K.


message 1423: by Penni (new)

Penni | 996 comments And sadly it wasn't even in the location I was thinking LOL.

I think I know the letters in the 2 places I was thinking K's now. Not that it will do me any good cuz I'm not reading one with that letter right noe.


message 1424: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 757 comments Man with a Past by Jayne Ann Krentz

Are there any Ms?

I think it was a nice gesture to give everyone a better chance of guessing it. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is. Just a little game on the side to help me get direction on what to read next. If I get it, yay, if not, I'll read another book and guess another letter. Definitely keep playing.


message 1426: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
Leslie, there is 1 M. And you're right, it's just a little game.


message 1427: by VampAmber (new)

VampAmber | 622 comments I'm not even close to finishing any books at the moment, so I might end up not being part of the game til the next puzzle anyway. ^_^


message 1428: by ♦Ashley♦ (new)

♦Ashley♦ (ascherger12gmailcom) | 272 comments Finished Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk.

message 1431: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (debbiegray) | 1030 comments I just finished Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg This book is like a visit with an old friend.

Let me think...I'll choose F


message 1432: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (debbiegray) | 1030 comments Really Wayne it was hard to chose...you know ....with so many choices, but I finally decided on F


message 1433: by Lanelle, Production Chief (last edited Aug 17, 2016 10:49AM) (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
Um, after all that, I hate to tell you that there are no Fs, Debbie. :(


message 1434: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (debbiegray) | 1030 comments Somehow I'm not surprised but at least I'm in the game and I made you smile...one more body part for Lanelle!


message 1435: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
Thank you, Debbie.

Leslie | 757 comments Roald Dahl's Matilda

No one has guessed an R yet!

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
Sorry, Leslie, there are no Rs.

Ashley, there are 3 Ns.

I think we're pretty close to guessing the quote.


message 1440: by ♦Ashley♦ (new)

♦Ashley♦ (ascherger12gmailcom) | 272 comments I finished Before the Fall by Noah Hawley

My guess is B.


message 1441: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
Ashley, there is 1 B.


message 1442: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (debbiegray) | 1030 comments Well I finished
Inn at Last Chance by Hope Ramsay 8/17/16
Inn at Last Chance (Last Chance, #7) by Hope Ramsay
and my three letters have been guessed, but I'm already in this round and I still don't see all the words.....Lanelle I think you have us all stumped on this one.


message 1443: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
Debbie, I think folks could guess the quote if there was one more vowel showing. Would you pick a vowel, please?


message 1444: by Debbie (new)

Debbie (debbiegray) | 1030 comments Well the book I'm reading has an A, but I'm only half way through.....


message 1445: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
A has already been guessed. A different vowel, please. We need to finish this puzzle.


message 1446: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
K has already been guessed, but at this point, I'm not picky!

There is 1 K, Wayne. Do you know the quote?


message 1447: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 757 comments White Lies by Linda Howard

I will pick a "W"


message 1448: by Lanelle, Production Chief (new)

Lanelle | 20969 comments Mod
There is 1 important W, Leslie. Good luck!


message 1449: by Leslie (new)
