The Challenge Factory discussion

It’s time to play TCF Hangman.

This is an ongoing game that anyone can play. Jump in at any time to request a letter, but you have to have asked for at least one letter in order to make a guess at the puzzle.

To guess a letter in the puzzle, use the first word in the title (ignore 'a', 'an', 'the') or the author's first or last name of the book you have just finished reading.

examples:
to ask for a B - The Beekeeper's Apprentice
to ask for a J - a book by Jane Austen
to ask for a W - a book by Scott Westerfeld
to ask for an F - 44 Scotland Street

You must finish your book after the puzzle is posted.
Books must be at least 150 pages.
For anthologies, go by the editor's name.

To make a guess at the quote, put your solution in a separate post.
Whoever gets it first, wins.

May all your marbles last as long as you New Years Resolutions

Sorry, Debbie. Your guess isn't quite right.

How about..... May all your troubles last as long as your New Years Resolutions.....
I wrote one thing down on a piece of paper and keyed something different into the computer...I'm blaming it on old age and bifocals.

That fourth word still isn't correct.

I realized I typed it wrong again...I think I have it straight now

You got it. Congratulations!

Well it took me long enough to get it right. Maybe the cold here in central Pa is finally getting to my brain. I'm not to far from Punxsutawney Phil and after the last two weeks he best watch his step on the 2nd of February.

I love the version you originally typed, about marbles :)

Well it just goes to prove how quickly I tend to lose my marbles every day. I must say they seem to reorganize overnight, but of course scatter the next day.

A new quote has been posted. You'll recognize the beginning of the quote from a classic book. The ending is different though.

Yay, Agnieszka solved the quote! (Although she doesn't agree with the statement.)
