Mystery Blogger Q’s 2013 theme: “The Encyclopedia, Social Media, and Me!!”
I learned all kinds of things from this blogger on Q Day.
“1. This prosperous country is a tiny peninsula jutting out from the Arabian Peninsula in the Persian Gulf. It is ruled by a monarchy, currently Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is in power. (Qatar)
2. The name of the tragic bell ringer in Victor Hugo’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame.” (Quasimodo)
3. The largest of the Canadian provinces? (Quebec)
4. The broomstick riding game of “Harry Potter.” (Quidditch)
5. In American football, he’s the guy throwing the ball. (quarterback)
Bonus: No more talking, no more fun- what kind of meeting has begun? (Quaker)”
Who was it? HINT: This blogger dreams a lot.

You've got us all stumped. Maybe we need to get knocked in the head with a quidditch ball to remember!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Nothing as drastic as that, Sherry!

C. Lee McKenzie says
It has. Maybe next week will be easier
debi o'neille says
Geez. I read a blog of a Canadian writer, but short of time, so can't check my feeds and my brain is fried, so can't go that route either.
Deb@ http://debioneille.blogspot.com
C. Lee McKenzie says
It's the end of week 3. All brains are fried.

Very cool.

C. Lee McKenzie says
Come on, Angela. You know this one.
J.L. Campbell says
Not sure who this dreamer is. If I think I know who it is, I'll be back.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Do that because no one else has guessed so far!
Arlee Bird says
I slept in this morning so I couldn't post first, but I'm still up there. And I can't think of who this is. I should know, but it's just not register. I should go back to bed.
