Sunday Puzzles A Rebus for November 21, 2021

 Here we go, the old Festisite Rebus maker made a nice puzzle for Rebus Week.  My other Rebus maker site warns you not to go to the site, so that one is kablooie.  Kind of like all of last week :)

Rebus Answer for the December 6, 2018 Rebus

Never have I doubted my soundness of mind as often as I did on that first night, when the bird-woman and her wards came to save me from the madhouse.

The first line is from A Map of Days The Fourth Novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children
by Ransom Riggs.  The new book takes place in the United States, past and present.

A First Line Rebus December 6, 2018

Here's a First Line Rebus from a book I've recently read and loved.   The answer will be posted Thursday December 13th.   That last clue is a gimmee, is it not?

Answer to DOA's 9 1 18 Movie Quote Rebus

By Grabthar’s hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged!

                            Doctor Lazarus, Galaxy Quest

The Winner in the contest between our own Librarian DOA and upstart Merlyn Perilous to see which Rebus got more views  is:

 Librariandoa  12 views of the clue, 5 of the answer

Merlyn  10 views of the clue, 9 of the answer.

My spouse informs me Rebuses are too hard, and he prefers Cryptograms.  He also informs me my quote is incorrect, and he went to the screenplay to get the correct spelling of Warvan.  My apologies!  I'll stick with books.

DOA's Movie Quote Rebus

It's the War of the Rebuses!  I'm continuing my tradition of First Lines from books turned into Rebuses at my Adventures of Merlyn Perilous blog, and here on DOA I'll do Movie and Author quotes.  Let's see which gets the most views.   Merlyn's Rebus should post at about the same day and time as this.

Here's the first, and it's from a film.

Look for the answer on Saturday, September 8th.

Rebus Madness

I had a comment awaiting moderation that asked for the answers to two Rebus puzzles from 2010.  In my initial post, I said the answers would be up May 30th!

Yikes, Yikes.  The answer didn't show up till November!!! Sorry!

So there they are, together at last.   I'm more careful now, and write and post the answer the same day I write the puzzle.

Not So DOA After All

Apparently I've left a trail as DOA, so even if I don't write here, my work lives on:

From Pinterest

While searching librariandoa on my ipad (I don't bookmark anything) the above came up.  Whoa!  Printable Pictogram Puzzles for Adults!   I am clearly credited, but it's strange to have been aggregated.

It does make me want to do more Rebuses and Cryptograms, and I've been thinking of Crosswords again, not to mention Word Finds, which I personally like.  Mostly the part where I think up the words to go with the theme.

A Sunday Rebus

I haven't done a Rebus for quite awhile, so here's a quote that keeps popping into my head this week.

Answer: My Favorite Book Rebus

In sixth grade, the school librarian noted I was an avid reader with that keen librarian eye some have.  She suggested a few books to me, one of them being:

 

 

 

 

 

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.   I solemnly told her I wasn't interested in science fiction because it was all about "spacemen and blasters".  Where I got that I can't imagine.  I had been watching every science fiction film I could find on late night and Saturday morning television for years.  Maybe I just didn't want to admit I was a big fan of something so unusual for a girl.

 

 

A Wrinkle in Time was written in 1962 and I read it just a few years later.  Meg was a wonderful character for me to meet when I did.  I have often gone back and read her adventures over the years and the story of her bravery and love are just as powerful with each re-reading.

 

 

 

There is a site celebrating Madeleine and her many works, visit it here

My Favorite Book Rebus

If you know me and my reading habits, you don't need to decode the rebus to know what my all time favorite book is.  Tiny!  You may have to click to enlarge.

Book Title Rebus

Here's a Tuesday Book Title and Author for you:

Answer on Friday!





The answer to this week's Rebus is:

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray

 

 

 

 

In what at first seems a twisted version of Lost, a plane full of teen beauty contestants crash land on a small island.  They are fiercely determined to win the pageant so they attempt to follow beauty pageant rules on the island rather than think about survival.  As they pose and preen their way through the jungle, they find other forces at large on the island may make it impossible to maintain their poise and beauty.

Currently Reading...

I'm actually reading several books.  I'm going to finish this one next (answer tomorrow):

The answer to this charming rebus is:

 

 

The Paladin Prophecy by Mark Frost

 

 



 

 

 

 

First in a trilogy for teens (and people who like a good story).   The books wastes no time dropping you into the action.  Always nice!
