Twenty Questions: Who is it?

By Wendy Lawton

Who is it? If you’ve followed Books & Such for a long time, you probably know quite a bit about us. Let’s test your knowledge of these fun facts, both common knowledge and obscure. There will be a prize basket of wonderful books and an authentic Books & Such mug filled with my favorite teas.

Scoring will be based on trust, since I’ll need to provide the key below. Don’t look until you are finished answering. 🙂  Take a piece of paper and number from 1 – 20. Then write your answers to the who-is-it questions below

1. One of our esteemed agents began as an intern at Books & Such the summer after her junior year of college. Who is it?
