TIES WILL BE BROKEN BY MY CAT. SHE’S FAIR AND IMPARTIAL.UNLESS CATNIP IS INVOLVED, THEN SHE GOES WITH THE BEST SUPPLIER.
Mystery Blogger Q’s 2013 theme: “The Encyclopedia, Social Media, and Me!!”
Q is for Quidditch

I learned all kinds of things from this blogger on Q Day.
“1. This prosperous country is a tiny peninsula jutting out from the Arabian Peninsula in the Persian Gulf. It is ruled by a monarchy, currently Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is in power. (Qatar)
2. The name of the tragic bell ringer in Victor Hugo’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame.” (Quasimodo)
3. The largest of the Canadian provinces? (Quebec)
4. The broomstick riding game of “Harry Potter.” (Quidditch)
5. In American football, he’s the guy throwing the ball. (quarterback)
Bonus: No more talking, no more fun- what kind of meeting has begun? (Quaker)”
Who was it? HINT: This blogger dreams a lot.

    I thought about L. Diane Wolfe, but she's not a Q.

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 21, 2014 at 4:44 am

      The Mystery Blogger posted about this topic on Q Day 2013. They're name doesn't have to begin with the letter. 🙂

  7. Nas says

    April 20, 2014 at 8:00 pm

    I'm so coming back to know who this blogger is! I'm at my wits end!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 21, 2014 at 4:43 am

      Stay calm, Nas. Read something romantic and on Monday I'll post the answers.

    Is it Alex? Alex knows everything!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 21, 2014 at 4:42 am

      You're right that Alex knows everything. How does he do that?

    April 20, 2014 at 3:15 pm

    Don't know the answer as I wan't involved in 2013. Am having fun now though and meeting some fabulous people. ☺ Thanks for dropping by my blog as well, Lee.

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

    I am not sure who this blogger is- but I love quidditch. 🙂 So much fun trying to figure out these mysteries.

  13. Lynda Dietz says

    April 20, 2014 at 1:46 am

    I had no clue until I read the last couple comments. I feel I'm getting more informed every day, though, and that works for me.

    Have a wonderful Easter weekend!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 20, 2014 at 4:44 pm

    April 19, 2014 at 10:12 pm

    You've got us all stumped. Maybe we need to get knocked in the head with a quidditch ball to remember!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 20, 2014 at 4:41 pm

      Nothing as drastic as that, Sherry!

  17. Crystal Collier says

    April 19, 2014 at 7:32 pm

    Nope, not a clue, but I LOVE all those Q subjects. It definitely makes for an interesting day in the challenge.

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

    The only Q that springs to mind is Matthew. Have a great weekend, Lee. Untethered Realms

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 20, 2014 at 4:40 pm

      Hmm. Let me check my answer sheet!

    This week has been tough!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 20, 2014 at 4:38 pm

      It has. Maybe next week will be easier

  21. debi o'neille says

    April 19, 2014 at 4:34 pm

    Geez. I read a blog of a Canadian writer, but short of time, so can't check my feeds and my brain is fried, so can't go that route either.
    [email protected] http://debioneille.blogspot.com

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 20, 2014 at 4:37 pm

      It's the end of week 3. All brains are fried.

  22. S.K. Anthony says

    April 19, 2014 at 4:31 pm

    I don't know the blogger either, but those are some cool fun facts for Q!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 20, 2014 at 4:36 pm

      Very cool.

  23. Angela Brown says

    April 19, 2014 at 2:31 pm

    I actually think I have an idea but the name of the blogger is on the tip of my tongue. I just can't get it clearly out.

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 19, 2014 at 2:49 pm

      Come on, Angela. You know this one.

  24. J.L. Campbell says

    April 19, 2014 at 1:51 pm

    Not sure who this dreamer is. If I think I know who it is, I'll be back.

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 19, 2014 at 2:49 pm

      Do that because no one else has guessed so far!

  25. Arlee Bird says

    April 19, 2014 at 1:27 pm

    I slept in this morning so I couldn't post first, but I'm still up there. And I can't think of who this is. I should know, but it's just not register. I should go back to bed.

    If you pulled all my toenails out I still wouldn't know!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 19, 2014 at 2:41 pm

      Then you definitely do not know this one.

  27. Mere Joyce says

    April 19, 2014 at 1:00 pm

    Well I haven't a clue, but I never do! Interesting collection of Q facts, though! Happy Easter, =)

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 19, 2014 at 2:41 pm

      But you don't give up and that counts.

  28. Hilary Melton-Butcher says

    April 19, 2014 at 12:52 pm

    Me too - Queueing up with everyone else to find out .. Happy Easter .. Hilary

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 19, 2014 at 2:40 pm

  29. Cheryl Wright says

    April 19, 2014 at 12:28 pm

    I don't know either…Happy Easter to you as well.

    The brains on the blink!

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 19, 2014 at 2:40 pm

      Just on pause. It will reboot by Monday.

    April 19, 2014 at 12:12 pm

    Can't remember. All right, just plain don't know.

    • C. Lee McKenzie says

      April 19, 2014 at 2:39 pm

      But you're the first one not to know!
