Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

WE WON THE BLUE RIBBON!!!!

For Reading Olympics that is.  MVP goes to Ben who read basically all of the books, but I must give myself props for knowing any answers.  Thank you Wikipedia and Hollywood's rendition of Stardust by Neil Gaiman.

These competitions are great fun, and I want to start something similar in college.  What a nice way to end senior year.

Here's the list of books the questions were based off of.
