  3. That is the L-line completed

    L1 “Read one book set in the Entertainment World” – Edmund Crispin – Frequent Hearses (1950)
    L2 “One Book that has been made into a Movie or TV Show” – Agatha Christie – The ABC Murders (aka The Alphabet Murders) (1936)
    L3 “Read One Book with an Amateur Detective” – Edmund Crispin – The Moving Toyshop (1946)
    L4 “Read one book with a man in the Title” – Margery Allingham – The Case of the Late Pig (1937)
    L5 “Read One Academic Mystery” – Dorothy L. Sayers – Gaudy Night (1935)
    L6 “Read one book that involves a mode of transportation” – Agatha Christie – Death in the Clouds (1935)

    I may have cheated a teensy bit by using 2 authors a lot but I do like Edmund Crispin and Agatha Christie.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
