Book SynopsisPut your bookworm reputation on the line and prove your literary knowledge with this collection of quizzes for book whizzes.
Book lovers can answer questions by themselves or host a quiz among friends with twenty-four quizzes to keep you guessing with a variety of question styles including:
- ''Blankety Books'', where you must fill in the missing word in each title
- Anagrams to decipher
- ''Two of a Kind'', where you must identify a character and author who share the same initials
- Guess the book with ''Say What You See'' pictures and badly drawn covers
- ''Book Bingo''
The quizzes are carefully weighted so avid bookworms will get a workout, while more casual readers can still have lots of fun having a go. All questions are designed to aid guessing, with multiple-choice answers and hints, and make the reader smile with amusing wrong answers, clever red herrings, little-known facts and footnotes.
