Hi
I would love to be entered.
Ok, my answers now.
I used to play chess. No honestly when I was young, I used to play with my dad. Then with my sisters. But somewhere along the way, I lost interest for it. After coming home from work I didn't want to sit in front of a chess board and rack my brain.
I have read quite a few YA novels, but none of the authors have stuck with me.
But I love Nancy Drew's even now.
Good Morning--
I would love to be entered. No, I have never played chess. I don't think I have the concentration span for it. I also still love Nancy Drew novels.
I'd love to be entered!
I don't play chess. I know the rudiments of the game, but I'm just not very good, and I don't really like being totally obliterated.

My boyfriend taught me how to play chess and I only beat him once. I think he let me win.
I blogged about it:

I would love to be entered. And no I do not play chess. As for adventure writers I’m a fan of Clive Cussler. I also read a book by Steve Berry that was really good and plan to read more of his.

Hi !
I would like to enter the contest !
Answering your questions
a) Yes, i used to play chess. Lately i can't find another blood and flesh to play it in a real chess board.
b) as an adventure / treasure book i would recomend On Stranger Tides from Tim Powers.
I would love to enter this contest!!
A: I play chess when I can find a real partner (I like a chance at winning).
B: I have recommended a few of my friends to read Clive Cussler and they loved him too!!

To answer your question - yes I do play chess, though not as well as my ten year old son who's quite good. And, as for adventure stories, I really like Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy (Cussler more so than Clancy). But, I am a sucker for good kid lit adventure books, too. I've been listening to Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books on my iPod lately, and they're really good fun.
I used to play chess when I was young, too. It must be something about having more time when one is young.
My favorite action authors are Brandon Mull, Cornelia Funke, Barry and Pearson and Riordan.
I like to enter.
a) I played chess before but I was/am terrible at it. I think I fare a whole lot better with checkers.
b) I like to recommend Anthony Horowitz. I read his books for children while growing up and they were great. His Alex Rider series is fabulous and I think I have reread the series for a number of times now.
I would love to be entered in this contest!
Unfortunately I have never learned how to play chess.
Currently my favorite adventure/treasure author is Douglas Preston.
Thanks!
I would like to be entered in the contest very much!
I don't play chess because I've forgotten how. When I first starting dating my husband he taught me but then we stopped playing and we had only played a few times so I can't remember. My son and my husband have played though and I'm so envious.
I think Dan Brown writes some pretty fun adventure books. I have three of them so far!

Okay, Entry #1:
Please enter me into this contest...I love action/mystery books.
Entry #2: I do not play chess.
When you asked about Adult treasure, I thought of MJ Rose's book "The Reincarnasionist" (sorry I butchered that name!)....that was like treasure hunt!
