The kind who get into everything. I have to admit right up front that I’m fascinated by ants. I mean – there are… Read more »
With a huge thank-you to Jackie Hicken and the Deseret News, here’s a quiz about BOOKS. Her title was “Think you know literature? See if you recognize these famous first lines.” So… when you get a chance… off you go! (And if you have amazing self-control, don’t look at the answers before you give your best shot at guessing).
