LOL Thanks, Julia! I picked up OP to peruse it and wound up rereading nearly the entire book! Okay ... let me look at my other books, and I'll have something up soon.

BTW ... it's been ages since anyone posted a Trivia Quiz. Anyone game for that?

Okay ... let the guessing begin.

1. Is it a person?

By the way, I've been wondering about the Trivia thread, too. I was thinking of maybe starting one at the beginning of the summer holidays - perhaps it's not too late yet. I'll see. There haven't been any riddles for a long time either.

I don't seem to have a "riddle" brain; they never make sense to me. However, Choices, Elanor, PAH, and several others were very good at them.

Okay ... this is kind of a weird 20 Questions, and I debated about whether or not to use it. I checked through the archives, however, and I couldn't find it there (possibly because it is a little hard to classify in one respect), so I thought we could give it a whirl. It's getting difficult to think up good things we haven't already used! So ... here goes!

4. Is this thing tangible? Yes, it can be touched.
5. Is it owned by someone? Hmmmm ... Owned isn't quite the right word, but someone certainly has it. I don't want to say more just yet, but I may give a further hint on this later.

6. Is it a wizard/witch that has it or uses it?
