Next Theme: LISTS
What
sort of lists? All sorts! Do you make lists? Do you like them? Hate
them? Use them in writing or for grocery shopping? Follow "Top 10"
lists? Please drop in over the next couple of weeks to see what The
LadyKillers have to say about lists and let us know what you think about
them as well...
Lesa Holstine—super-librarian, book reviewer, lover of mysteries—will be our honored guest blogging about LISTS on Sunday, June 6. Lesa is Library Manager at the Velma Teague Library in Arizona and a contributing book reviewer for Library Journal, Mystery Readers Journal, and more. Plus she has an awesome book review blogsite: Lesa's Book Critiques.
Contest Winners... and the Facts-to-the-LadyKillers Matchup
We have five winners in our "match the fact to the LadyKiller" contest: J. I. Nelson, T. Norris, J.R. Swoboda, C. McLaughlin, and C. Price. Prizes will be heading your way shortly. And thanks to all who participated!
Now, the moment you've been waiting for, the who's who and the what's what:
A.
Was once told by Mac Davis that
she/he was tall enough to “hunt bar with your teeth.”—Mysti Berry
(Saturday)
B. Wrote
a ghost story as his/her first work, at age 8. Said
story was liberally illustrated with dripping daggers. Who knew ghosts
had
blood... —Priscilla Royal (Tuesday)
C.
Has married more than twenty men in the last twenty years.—Camille
Minichino (Wednesday)
D.
Spent a summer counting boxes of pears.—Staci McLaughlin
(Saturday)
E.
Was mugged by spider monkeys while hiking in the Rain Forest
in Singapore.—Diana Orgain (Thursday)
F.
Created a panic in a restaurant when a man she/he had
"poisoned" fell facedown into his chocolate
mousse.—Margaret Lucke (Friday)
G. Is
fluent in American Sign Language.—Penny
Warner (Wednesday)
H.
Was a teen-age model trying to pay
his/her way through college. The only drawback was the groping, leering
salesmen.—Rita Lakin (Friday)
I.
Once went out with the son of a Mafia big shot (once being the
key word).—Susan Shea (Tuesday)
J.
Was Lamar County's Junior Miss in 19...oh, never mind...—Mary
Anna Evans (Monday)
K.
Participated in several anti-war
protests in the ‘60s, then went to work for the local “bomb factory” in
the
‘70s (and stayed there for 30 years!).—Ann Parker (Friday) ... Extra
points for those who guessed Camille, because this is true for her as
well.
L.
Has a new book out that has more to
do with “endings” than “beginnings.”—Sharan Newman (Thursday)
M. Rafted, surfed and rode horses through Costa Rica.—Simon Wood (Monday)
I sure hope Camille/Margaret intends to explain her particular fact. Can you marry 20 men because you have two - now three - names of your own?! Are you an ordained minister and does this mean you married 10 male couples or 20 men to 20 women or some combination thereof? Inquiring minds want to know...
And, Peggy, you can't leave us hanging either, so 'fess up!
