Okay, Cindy--But a few questions:Does the book have to fit the Retro Reads time frame?
Does the player/poster have to have read the book?
Do we ever determine a winner? If so, how?
Or is this just a title trivia game to pass the time?

Just a fun (I hope) game for the coming cold weather months. :)
But if a book happens to be retro you could mention that fact.
#4 and #5 in the sample are retro reads and of course Jane Eyre is a classic.

I'm just going to stick to our retro time period. (1900-1980)
The Haunting of Hill House

Now, do we have to match 'moons' exactly or will 'moon' be okay?"
Either way. Think of it as taking a mulligan. 😅

uh-oh! multiple choice time!
Use Women for Barb's entry or Republic or President for Susan's entry.
