poppyshake Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Wohoo, one question right! I'll have a think... You might be on a roll Quote
poppyshake Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Is it written by a woman? I'll go even further and say that it is an author you've read .. though not this particular book (according to GR) Quote
frankie Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 It can't be Susan Hill because I don't have any books by her on wishlist, only TBR. And you haven't read the Robert Galbraith book. I'm clueless Is it by a British author? Quote
poppyshake Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 It can't be Susan Hill because I don't have any books by her on wishlist. You are very, very, close as regards genre (for this particular book anyway.) Is it by a British author? Yes Quote
frankie Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 I don't suppose it could be Sarah Waters? Quote
poppyshake Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I don't suppose it could be Sarah Waters? Yes now which book? Quote
frankie Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Yes now which book? Wohoo!!! Oh boy which book. I'll say ... It's gotta be The Night Watch or The Little Stranger, but which on is it.... I'll say The Little Stranger? (And I'll say that I just found out Waters is publishing a new book next year! ) Quote
poppyshake Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Wohoo!!! I'll say The Little Stranger? .. and I'll say .... YES!! well done frankie xx (And I'll say that I just found out Waters is publishing a new book next year! ) Ooh ... very interesting Your go Quote
frankie Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 .. and I'll say .... YES!! well done frankie xx Yay! I have to say it took some detective work, I tell you. Especially when I, for some reason, thought Waters is Canadian :D I wondered what the ******** ladies did with ******* ***** at their parties. We had often rejoiced, in former days, that there was no gentleman to be attended to, and to find conversation for, at the card-parties. We had congratulated ourselves upon the snugness of the evenings; and, in our love for gentility, and distaste of mankind, we had almost persuaded ourselves that to be a man was to be 'vulgar'; so that when I found my friend and hostess, **** *******, was going to have a party in my honour, and that ******* and the **** *****s were invited, I wondered much what would be the course of the evening.
