The Pre-Game Show
Courtesy of Stephanie (thank you, Stephanie!), we have a Pre-Title Entertainment: a pre-game quiz.
To tide you over for those few hours until Flower Idol comes to its triumphal conclusion (for this book, at least) and the title of Pink VI is publicly announced, we have a smattering of Pink Carnation Trivia. Please feel free to add your own favorite Pink trivia questions in the comments section. The first person to guess all five correctly wins a signed bookplate and a $10 Starbucks card.

I’m tempted to play again… 🙂
You should it looks like we are the only two up. i am in Oregon so its only 9:30 ish here.. lol
Lauren i have also come to the conclusion you need a forum so we can do quizzes and discuss our thoughts on the books. the news feed can be hard to find things more than a few weeks old. So it would be fun to have a place were we can talk about the books and have discussions.. talk about book 6 and all that fun stuff 🙂
The northwest takes over (I’m in Idaho) and for whatever reason, I’m playing on the computer instead of getting my house fixing done. 🙂
Okay, so here I go then…
1. Horatio Prendergast (actor)
2. Emily Gilcrest…murdered by the Marquis
3. (or was it gun woman????). Creative driving by Miles around a turnip wagon on a bridge over the Thames river.
4. I’m looking this one up…I don’t remember
5. Errol Flynn, of course.
Duh…She read french to the sheep. I feel silly for not remembering that.
Nope she tried to train them to stampede..she thought it would be useful in an attack. Jane even admits she tried riding them. LOL
Now I feel even more silly…Okay, where is it?
hold on i will find it..
End of page 291 pink carnation she talks about the stampeding and riding the sheep
Nice…Forgot about that trip down memory lane with Richard right before she figured out who Richard was. I was looking in the early chapters. Nice job.
BTW – I think we’ve hi-jacked this thread. Before we go to bed, we should leave more questions for the early rising east coasters. 🙂
ok we can do 5 each…. read set go. BTW yours are so much harder.. and Lauren will be laughing so hard at us tomorrow morning.. so lets make some funny ones!
Okay…I’m on it. I’m going to dig a bit..

And i do believe it was a Cabbage wagon not turnip.. The turnip is a person LOL
Gold doth gild the turnip.. says Penelope somewhere in Hens book.. i just finished carnation, tulip, and am on the emerald ring LOL.. must reread all books hundreds of times. which is why i generally get hardbound and paperback. so i can read the paperback to pieces..

Who did the vicar and Eloise want to create a television show for? What was the name of the show? (Tulip)
What was Jay’s occupation. Try to keep it under 50 words, please. 🙂 (Emerald Ring).
What was Aunt Imogen and Lady Hester’s relationship? (Crimson)
Who were Jacques and Pierre? (Jasmine)
didn’t even noticed I typed turnip. How funny is that. Maybe the Pink VII should have a vegetable name in it. 🙂
How funny…we both have Imogen/Hester questions. Great minds… 🙂
Agreed.. LOL ah fun times.. now that its after 11 here i feel the need to read my book and head off into dreamland. Have a good evening all and a good morning to those who read this later!

One last bonus Question: Name the room, the victim and the weapon from “A Very Selwick Christmas”.
Oh, it’s like clue! Are we looking for Library, Warming Pan and The Maid (aka secret agent)?
Hehe I’m going to leave the questions for the Good-Morning-America risers but just letting ya’ll know that down in New Zealand (where it’s Tuesday night) I’ve had a good old giggle over the discussion board antics. Can’t wait to find out the title tomorrow!
In reguards to post #10- Stephanie I quite agree! I’d love to just have long conversations with everyone on here.
I agree with number ten, too!
