Buy a friend a book

January 3rd, 2010 by Fond of Snape

***UPDATED***

We have a winner and it’s Sara! She was the first commenter on this post and guessed Nazgul, yes, she did precioussssssss and she was right! By the way, Sara, ALL those words are from LOTR! Come back the first week in April for another book, ok?

Buy A Friend A Book, or BAFAB, Week comes four times a year; in the first weeks of January, April, July, and October. So here we are in the first week of January and do I have a book for you! Which friend shall it be? The one who guesses correctly which of these 7 words I’m thinking of:

1. Sauron
2. Nazgul
3. Eomer
4. Pippin
5. Steward
6. Smeagol
7. Shelob

The book has already been purchased and gently read…it’s called Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls. She also wrote The Glass Castle. If you’re interested, it’ll wing its way to you. Who’d like it?

   I am going to guess #2 – because it has to do with Lord of the Rings…

   I’m going to guess Pippin–it’s my neighbor’s dogs name and I say it several times a day. I’m actually on a hella long waiting list at the library for Half Broke Horses.

   I’m guessing Pippin. I loved the Glass Castle, so thanks for the heads up about the book even if I don’t win.
