Ha – I have just finished a vampire book (By Midnight, very good) so it seems fitting that these questions today are about blood! I would have guessed the words to translate meant blood given #2, 4, and 5 were blood-related! But the quote, would never have known, and would have googled it if Alwyn hadn’t beaten me to it!
P.S. Usually these quizes of yours leave me wondering how long I’ve been asleep!
