Here’s the moment I know you’ve all been waiting for… the third book quiz on my blog! I try my hardest to make these questions that I know the answer to before I write them, otherwise, it doesn’t feel quite as fun to me. If I just threw random questions at you about books from all over the place, it wouldn’t feel quite as interesting for me to write. No, I knew the answer to all of these before I wrote them OR they’re based on books I’ve read and I think a lot of people will have read and will find interesting. Enjoy!
Please note, this article contains affiliate links. This means if you choose to purchase all of the books via the links attached. I’ll receive a small comission at no extra cost to you to support the blog. These do not affect my opinion of any of the products.
RULES: I wanted to make the quiz playable as a single-player or on screens in front of people too – therefore I have written the answers in white and you simply have to highlight them to get the answer. Also, the questions get harder the further into the quiz you go (in theory anyway). ENJOY!
