The second annual Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge is coming right up!

Just leave your answers (or your guesses!) below and I'll select a winner via random.org and will announce the winners at the Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge Start-up. (July 1st!)

Oh my! I would have to research to answer almost all of them since I've only read most of the books once! I will see if my husband knows more than me, and if so, I will return with an actual entry.

I only had to look up 2 answers (at least I knew where to find them). I'm not sure what I'll read yet. Once again, I'm reading a BIG book (the unabridged Count of Monte Cristo), but I'll try to fit something in.
Yay! I'm so excited to be joining in with the challenge again this year. I've written my intent post--and now to answer some trivia!

I'd like to participate in the challenge, despite my total reading slump these days. Right now I'm drawing a blank on any Narnia-related titles though... Maybe I'll get some ideas from reading your and others' posts.
