Kaye Very good. A lot of people have chosen Ng for the shortest last name. Good one for longest last name. Another I haven‘t heard of 😁 At least I‘m hearing of a few new author names. Thanks for playing. 🌟 6y

@Kaye

Kaye Good job, 🌟 . Great answers. Thanks for playing. 6y

AmyG @Kaye It was fun. Made me think. 6y

Kaye Yep. That was the point 😁. I like thinking up book questions. You do great on these. ✨✨✨✨✨ 6y

AmyG @Kaye I am a huge Jeopardy fan. But if your questions were based on geography and mythology...I would pass. ;) 6y

Kaye If they were based on those subjects, you‘d have a blank question sheet. 😁 I Know next to nothing about mythology. My geography skills are atrocious. I know my way around my town. Once I leave, I‘m up the creek without a paddle. 🗺 6y

Name: Tabitha I use Craftylikefox for Instagram and on PlayStation. I love sewing, knitting and crochet. So I can be pretty crafty at times. I just like the Craftylikefox sounded 😊 Plus I use to have a family of foxes living near me. Other then the screaming I thought they were so cute.
