We should post the rules just in case we have guest. ;)

Deep, Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn

5Schmerguls
Aug 30, 2012, 7:42 am

The rules are not complex:

1. The title of the book must begin with the next letter in the alphabet after the first letter of the previous correct title.

2. Articles (a, an, and the) are to be ignored. In other words, a title that begins with "The" will not work as a title beginning with T.)

3. The book must be a book you have actually read and if possible you should say when you read it.

Jacqueline, what happened to B and C?
