For the last few years, @ApocalypseNowt has posted the quiz from her workplace. Surely it's time for this year's joint MN effort...?

I really do have to do something else now - have added update so far - see pic attached - green for writers, orange for actors and blue for singers. Hope it makes sense.

It's great, just to note that the Charles Dickens label is in the wrong place which is probably my fault, as I meant bottom of the first page rather than the bottom of the column altogether, on a subsequent page.

claudiawinklemansfringetrimmer · 12/12/2024 19:33

3rd column second row is ALSO Dickens I think - Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, The Mystery of Edwin Drood

Ereshkigalangcleg · 12/12/2024 19:33

That's the one I did.

claudiawinklemansfringetrimmer · 12/12/2024 19:34

Oh ignore me then, Dickens label is just in the wrong place

claudiawinklemansfringetrimmer · 12/12/2024 19:36

The one currently labelled as Dickens is Agatha Christie books

WitcheryDivine · 12/12/2024 20:06

Are there any we haven’t got?

claudiawinklemansfringetrimmer · 12/12/2024 20:10

Column 5, third one down is George Orwell books if we haven’t got that yet
