Book Loving Kiwis discussion

This is a sort of literary version of hangman without the gallows.

The hangman posts a book title and author using dashes for letters, separating each word with an *.

Members play by guessing a letter entering it in a post. If that letter appears in the game, the hangman inserts it in the correct place. If a letter is not used that is noted too. This carries on until a member guesses the title and author. That person becomes the hangman starting a new game.

Remember it is ONE letter at a time per post per member.
A tip for the hangman: so as players can easily see where the game is at, open (edit) your post you are going to update and copy it into the last vacant box.

I'll start with an easy one so you get the idea.
