I have issued with her with a book challenge. She has until end July 2013 to step up. Here are the rules :
1. Neither she, nor I, are permitted to volunteer any information.
2. YOU, however, are permitted to ask questions of either/both of us. We must answer truthfully.
3. In the event of any Exracer correctly identifying both author and title/s (that's a clue) the prize of $1m will be awarded. If not, Adcooper may claim the money.
4. Rule 3 is a complete lie and there is no money to be won. Only Rule 4 is legally binding...
5. In the event of Adcooper claiming a win, Bara will :
* set Adcooper a test, set on the book/s
* the competition will be judged by Bara and Adcooper.
* it's only a joke!

No - and no. Not American, but from MY point of view, not another nationality ...  |

Disclaimer: I had no prior knowledge of this contest!
Admission: Well, okay, yes. Bara HAS given me a reading assignment, which is nicely timed to coincide with my current schedule (40+ hours work per week, while taking 2 grad courses both requiring extensive reading none of which overlaps with Bara's assignment, while phone banking for a friend running for Congress, while competing for The Ohio Messiest House and Most Unhealthy Diet Award).
Revelation!: This is what friends are for! Fire away.

You're on the right lines, Brooksie; but not the right lions nor witches nor wardrobes. No. Think castles. Think towers and owls.  |

Owls? Are you sure it's not ravens?
A Song of Ice and Fire? George R.R. Martin? Season 1 is on DVD...I can't wait for season 2 (since I don't have HBO). I also can't wait for the last book. Love this series!
Carry on....lol
