Fenixbird SandS | 403 comments okay Scott I am guessing Weir's first of these books, "Innocent Traitor: A Novel of Lady Jane Grey"
by Alison Weir

If correct, then...
NEXT CHARACTER: Gwendolen Fairfax



message 53: by Fenixbird (last edited Jan 07, 2008 03:18AM) (new)

Fenixbird SandS | 403 comments Either of these 2 might be correct books from which your character was selected: (1) Silent in the Sanctuary by Deanna Raybourn or (2) Innocent Traitor: A novel of Lady Jane Grey"

NEXT CHARATER: Gwendolen Fairfax

Hint: theatrical

Next: Landen Parke-Laine


message 61: by Cindy (last edited Feb 05, 2008 05:10PM) (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) Jaime, I didn't think about him being in multiple books until after I had posted. Your answer works for me.

Is your character from Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde? If it is, the next clue is... Charles "Fat Charlie" Nancy.



message 62: by Jaime (new)

Jaime (jaimechm) Landen Parke-Laine was in Lost in a Good Book!

Is your character from Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman?

Next Character: Emily Osbourne


message 63: by Cindy (last edited Feb 06, 2008 04:42PM) (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) Is it The Rookie Club by Danielle Girard? I put this book on my to-read list after reading the first sentence on Amazon the other day. And the first two words of the book are "Emily Osbourne". :)

If I'm right then the next character is... Dinky Davis.


message 64: by Cindy (last edited Feb 09, 2008 07:06AM) (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) Perhaps my last character was too obscure? Dinky Davis is from Little, Bitty Lies by Mary Kay Andrews.

Let's try Will Lightman instead.


message 65: by Tana (new)

Tana Harrison About a Boy by Nick Hornby?

if that's right. Wang Lung


message 66: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) I was a little apprehensive about googling Wang Lung... The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck.

The next character is Danny Torrance.


message 67: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) Surely someone knows who Danny Torrance is?


message 68: by Lori, Super Mod (new)

message 69: by Lori, Super Mod (new)

Lori (tnbbc) | 10620 comments Mod
Do we need a hint? Lets see.... It's a campy vampire novel. This character is in two books, (its got a sequel)


message 70: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck by Christopher Moore. I can tell you really liked those books Lori.

Next character... Sookie Stackhouse


message 71: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) Oops, Sookie was also in multiple books. You can just give one.


message 72: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) Sookie Stackhouse was in Dead To The World by Charlaine Harris. (As well as the other "Southern Fried Vampire Mysteries")


message 73: by Lori, Super Mod (new)
