We had five people who submitted guesses on this batch. Two guessed “Red Ribbon” for #9, and though there is a 19th century title with that name, the ribbon is really orange. This may not have been obvious on the screen but because there is a book called “The Bow of Orange Ribbon“, that is what we are going with. It doesn’t change the standings of our entrants.
Robbj got three correct but she was the only one who got #11, “Marching Men“.
Karen H. got five.
Nancy W. got eight.
Rose W. got eight but also got two of the unknown titles in the next post:
#18, A Knight of the Nineteenth Century by E.P. Rowe (1877)
#19, Broken Boot by John Galsworthy (1922)
Wabi Sabi got ten correct and the only one who got #10, “The Crisis”.
So we are naming Wabi Sabi, Robbj and Rose W. the winners this week. Thanks to everyone who participated. Just in case you were interested in the ten rebuses we created as prizes, they are featured below. No, we aren’t providing the answers, these are easy. You might want to click on each image to see them better, the white cards blend in with the background. Prizes will be mailed out this week.
