That is a very difficult game!!
I made it a little easier this year, @Elizabeth. Last year the theme was juvenile protagonists. This year’s contest has to do with forms of water (mist, ice, rain, generic water) or bodies of water (lake, river, creek) in the title. So at least you don’t have to know the content this time around, LOL.

I never knew there was a theme. I just never could figure them out. LOL!!
Thanks for all the fun you provide and all you and the entire BookBrowse team do for us.

Congrats to all the folks who entered the BookBrowse Big Holiday Wordplay. We had 46 people participate, with 25 people who got all 15 books and their authors correct. Nicely done!
Two people were selected at random from the correct entries, and one person was selected at random from all entries, to win a year of BookBrowse (a $60 value).
