Well, see you at some point.
Did this author ever throw up on your husband's ex-boss's shoes?
Is this author known to be fond of veal?
If I were to list 'I had never heard of this author before Cindy's game' as one of my TTTT choices, would you be likely to vote for it as being a lie? |

Is this author known to be fond of veal? No clue. However, she was not known for being an epicure. She bragged that she owned only one pot.

Was she born more recently than 1830?
Did she die more recently than 1900?
Did she live most of her life in the British Isles?
Do you personally own more than three of her books?
If so, may I borrow one? |

Do you personally own more than three of her books? No. And I have no idea why I don't.
If so, may I borrow one? I'll let you know how my trip to Biblioasis goes this afternoon. |

Was she born more recently than 1890?
Did she die more recently than 1960?
Would you say that she is primarily known for her fiction?
If you were to notice, during your visit to Biblioasis (love that name!), a book entitled 'An Anthology of Feminist Writing' would you strongly suspect that this author would be included?
Was she famous for activities other than writing? |

Was her fiction writing geared towards adults?
Children?
Were her works of fiction set in the British Isles?

Edited to say that in fact, no feature films have been made from her novels. One was made into a play, and one into a TV miniseries. Sorry.

Recap:
Born between 1890 and 1930
Died between 1960 and 1990
She's a "she"
Lived in British Isles, fiction set in British Isles
Known primarily for her fictional novels but wrote poetry, non-fiction and possibly plays; wrote for adults
Proud of only having one pot
Her fiction was not romance, adventure, fantasy or humor but was "not really" mystery.
Not necessarily a feminist
Not famous for anything outside of her writing
One play and one TV miniseries was made based on her work
Is the above Okeydokey, now that it's edited based on your edit?

Yes, those are all ok.
I will note that although she wasn' famous for anything besides her writing, she was indeed quite famous.
