Great prize idea, M. And I'll take whichever one you loved best!! (I get to do that because I slipped in here before Julia :P )
Very cool. I'm catching up but that was fun to see what they guessed. LOL.
Woo! More books!! I love books!! LOL on the guessing - 1 right. Ha Ha!
Well, let's see - taking into consideration whichever one you liked best, to the victor goes the spoils, I'll say these three in descending order of my curiosity:
