You can't judge a book by its cover.

The only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important part of the story.

Congratulations, Stroch, Gemini and Nebraska! :yahoo:

Actually, I'm in awe of everyone who participated in the contest...I was so embarrassed at how few I actually knew that I wouldn't turn in my entry. :blush:

I bow to all the ONBC'ers! :notworthy:

OMG! (My first use of text-speak!!!)

I am so excited!!!!! Thanks for the contest -- it was quite a challenge. And thanks from the bottom of my heart for ONBC.

You have no idea how often I reference things I have learned from the forum, and how often I think about the posts I've read. Even though I don't always respond, I read everything everyone writes.

I'm proud to be part of ONBC, and SO thrilled the answers were right (Johnny, if you're reading this, give me a call. We can talk books.)

That explains why I had trouble placing Maureen's character in the correct book!!!!!!

Thanks to DITHOT and Liz for a fabulous contest and congratulations to all the winners (and thanks for posting the correct answers!)

Congratulations to all the winners! I know you'll enjoy your prizes. The decoupaged box I won the first year has been on my nightstand ever since. (My DH put a note in it reminding me who I'm married to. The note covers up one picture of Johnny, but I guess that's ok.)

I know how you feel, nebraska. I kept thinking, "The only Maureen I remember was in ALWD, but that's not one of the books listed." Then I reread the question and realized she didn't have to be. Tricky, tricky.

I kept thinking that there were two characters to match up with one of the books.....and she had to go somewhere.... :dunce:

And yes, our moderators are beyond amazing. I know ONBC is an labor of love for them and they always repeat that they enjoy what they do BUT I know sometimes the hours of work involved in providing tidbits and questions and moderation itself has to be a real sacrifice and I deeply appreciate all they do!

I bow to our Noodlemantras too…..those who participated in the contest and those who didn’t. All of you are wonderful contributors to this board. It wouldn’t be what it is without you. :notworthy:

Wow, I was out all day hunting for a new fridge as mine died on me so I just got around to checking in. Wow I can't beleive I was in the top 3 on this because I thought I messed up too many. Oh and now I feel like an idiot, all the time I spent on tryng to think of 12 books based on actual people or events. I finally gave up at 10 and the two I missed are the two we are discussing now of Fante's. Duh!
