I got 12 wrong, but did much better than expected!
Adrienne says
That was fun! I did much better in the classics than more recent novels. While I love your book lists, I like a mix of posts.

I missed nine. There were only a few of the books that Idid not read or at least recognize. I impressed myself.

Can you tell us how many questions beforehand? I thought it was a quiz, which usually are brief. Also, number the questions. Thank you!
Rachael says
Good suggestions! I will definitely do that in any future quizzes I create.

I got 11 wrong and I read those books. but only once.

Yikes, after getting the initial ones right, I failed miserably.
I also realized I have not read lots of these.
Thanks for that! I woke up too early this morning and that helped pass the time before daylight.
And yes, my TBR stack is out of control.
Just finished Run, Rose, Run. Nice quick read.
Currently reading The Unsinkable Greta James and liking it.
Before these I read Groundskeeping, Shadows of Pecan Hollow & French Braid.
Groundskeeping was a 5 star! Anne Tyler’s French Braid had a nice familiar feel & cute cover & Pecan Hollow was a wild Texas ride that listed places I actually know!
I just picked up True Biz from my library & added it to a bedside stack that includes The Lighthouse Witches (very belatedly), My Policeman (soon to be Harry Styles ❤️ film), A Fortnight in September, Fight Night, Chouette (meant to be book w/bird on cover), The Lifeguards (set in Austin, Texas), In the Shadow of the Mountain, Girl In Ice & The Lamplighters. And a couple of Agatha Christie biographies.
I hope to get through at least half of these & have taken a screenshot, so that I can revisit if they have to go back to the library before I get to them, because they are all things I really want to read.
See, I am in such trouble. Phew
Happy reading All

I loved your book quiz so much that I had some of my adult kids try it too. We all loved it!
I look forward to reading your blog and lists each month, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and such great information!
