Four of you slogged through to the very, very end, and from those four, a winner was randomly chosen. Congratulations to all of you who made it!

Roberta, you now need to contact me privately at alauters[at]yahoo[dot]com so that I can send you your book.

If you’d like to continue the game vote “yes” or “no” in the comments below. I see Tish already has an opinion!

You’ve memorized the books and cite chapter and verse when it comes to even the most obscure quotes. It also looks like you had fun participating over the past two weeks.

I’ll release the comments from Quote #12 tomorrow, and announce the winner of an autographed copy of “More than a Farmer’s Wife” at that point.

Comments I’d like to see now? Would you like to continue the game, just for fun?
