Really enjoyed this quiz and kicking myself for the ones I knew but just couldn't think of the names in time (managed 52 but missed 9 I knew but the names wouldn't come and 2 because I couldn't spell the names correctly).

Same here! I went blank on books I've read. Also kept typing Spencer instead of Spenser.

Great quiz, nominated.
