When I clicked on this I was all "WHERE IS IT SINGLE MAN/FORTUNE/WIFE--ah number 12, I see."

Also thank you for your cheery card! I have a half-written response just waiting to be mailed.

[readingredhead]

:D This is why we're friends. (Well. One reason at least.)

[lazyclaire]

Yay, you did my meme!

Ah! I know two of them for sure, although they're the easy ones:

10) Fahrenheit 451
12) Pride and Prejudice

Is 6) The Left Hand of Darkness? <3 Le Guin
Also is 6) Wuthering Heights? (pretty much solely based on the word Moors)

[readingredhead]

Haha I like your guess for 2. But no -- in fact "Moors" is being used here to refer to Spanish/north African Muslims! The others were all correct though. :)

[lazyclaire]

Wow, don't I sound uneducated now! I had no idea that was how Moors was spelled when used in that sense.

7 is easy "So you want to be a wizard"
11 is "The wizard's dilemma"

[readingredhead]

Of course! :) (And yet I think you're one of the few people who reads this journal who would get these so quickly!)

[ladyvivien]

1 is, of course, Jane Eyre!

[readingredhead]

OF COURSE.

[cosmic_llin]

1. JANE EYRE!!!
3. Sabriel?

[readingredhead]

Correct on both counts! I may not like the other two books in the trilogy nearly as much, but something about Sabriel has made me re-read it more than once... I suspect because Sabriel feels like such a real eighteen-year-old girl.
