LOL–those are the only ones I knew as well (well give and take a few). I gave up.
Great job with the reading–feeling less zombieish??
I only knew #7…although I thought #12 looked like Anne.
Here’s a cheer for you:
Everywhere we go
People want to know
Who we are so we tell them
We are the Readers
The mighty mighty Readers!
Sorry, but that’s the best i can do.
Thanks Maree!
