Good morning! And what a fitting tribute to Dodo Grieving Day. Who can forget the dodo in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland? Such a great book.🙂

Thanks, Jasdip. I hope you’re keeping warm.

Ooooh, I'm going to love these! Don't have time to go through them now, but will come back this afternoon.

(rox, way to go on 'guess' this morning - wow!)

I read, a LOT, but apparently a different genre, I only get four of these at first glance.

Rusty

Same here, Rusty - I'll bet these aren't all classics, and I'm not too familiar with many contemporary best sellers. I only recognize a few so far.

Thinking I'll need to research this one a bit...

I have half of them. Thanks Jasdip.

Interesting

I also read a lot. I have about half.

I'm back. I'm missing 1, 3, 8 and 14 but pretty confident in the rest. I'm guessing that the ones I'm missing may be books I'm not familiar with. Maybe when I have more time I'll try to solve them as regular puzzles and then google what I come up with to see if they're book titles...., though I'm not sure that'll help me with 1 and 3 since I have no clue there.

Missing 1,3,4 and 12.

Still thinking🤓

I have at least half. Don’t have #1, 6, 8, 12, 14.

Well, I figured out 13 (I think) by using lettersarooz's method.

Rusty

I suspect that without a lot of googling that this is going to be beyond me.

This llooks like 13 bonuses. I figured out 5 of the puzzles.

So far I've guessed: 2, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17

And I just got 18😃

So far I have 2, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17 (maybe) and 18.

Rusty

I think i have an answer for 12 but not for the others I’m still missing. Guesses for a few but nothing comes to mind that i’ve read. I’m not one to Google for confirmation, so I’m pretty stuck with the others.

I'm still missing 1, 8 and 14, and googling a couple of guesses for 8 and 14 did nothing for me, but......OH!!!! I think I may have figured out 3, without googling anything!

SPOILER ALERT: hint for #3, if I'm right:

If you can complete that word, focus on the part that you're filling the blanks with and how you would describe its relationship to the rest of it.

Aha! Thanks letters! I now have a guess for #3. It might not be right but it works.

Ooh - I just got #3 - and before I read letters' hint, too! 😃

And I think I know the answer to 12 - we'll see...

Now I've got answers for 3, 7, and 12, but I don't know if they are books or not. My first guess for 12 is a movie, don't think it was a book. But I have another idea for it, too. We'll see if either is right.

Rusty

Missed 1 and 4.

This was a fun one.

Thanks, Jasdip

Never did get 1, 8 or 14 (and in my defense, not familiar with those titles), but got the others correct! Agree these were fun - thanks, Jasdip!

Number 6 I would never have gotten, as I did not know what a Mistral wind is. Thanks to fourth grade Geography class, I might has spotted it if the wind had been a Sirocco, but I doubt it. That was just too scrambled for me.

Regarding number 5, I recognized two TV witches, but thought Hecate was a goddess, so I was thinking a title something like "Two Witches and a Goddess," but that did not bring to mind any book titles, anyway.

I still didnt get 1, 8 and 14. I finally got 6 by googling the remaining letters after figuring out the ‘willows’ part. It was still fun and a different sort of challenge for sure. Thanks!

I haven't heard of half those books. The ones I knew I got.

Well, those that I had, I had right, I guess that's worth a little bit. The only thing I could think of for 12 was "A Hard Day's Night" but I don't think that is a book title.

This was fun even if I 'flunked' it. thanks, Jasdip.
