Chloe – yes, #9 is Lady Chatterly.

Shelly – correct on #4 – Invention of Hugo Cabret.

That leaves #8, which stumped everyone I guess. It’s “A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier” by Ishmael Beah. Thanks for playing, everyone!

Pooh! I am so bad at these generally. Is that last one Love in the Time of Cholera? I think there was a parrot in that one!
