Howdy! I hope you all are ready for some more fun and games because that’s what I’ve got for ya.
I’ve really enjoyed seeing or rather hearing how everyone has done on the earlier party games. I hope you enjoyed those. This will be the same sort of games only with different books and questions.
So ya’ll ready?
The games are about to begin! Oh, and I’m also doing another giveaway! So stay tuned.
See if you can get the answers correct in the five games I created just for you.
If you get 40 – 53 answers correct you are an Expert and are qualified to give lectures about me and my work as well as know your way around my book titles.
If you get 20 – 39 answers correct you are a Friend who is quite fond of my characters and familiar with my work though you can’t recall all the details.
If you get 7 – 19 answers correct you are an Acquaintance who drops by now and then to see how I’m doing, recognizes my name when it comes up in conversations and even knows a story or two.
If you get 0 – 6 answers correct you are the New Kid on the Blog. Welcome, and I hope you’ll stick around and enjoy yourself.

a Rafflecopter giveawayWell, did you have fun? I hope so because we’ll have one more set of games on the last 5th Tuesday of 2020. If you didn’t do so well with the answers, start reading and prepare for the next round. 🙂 [Hint: They will be about Christmas.]
This was hard! I got 8 right, making me an acquaintance. My favorite thing about fall is our church’s annual Turkey Shoot.
Hey, 8 isn’t too bad. At least your an acquaintance. 😉
I’ve never been to a turkey shoot. Sounds interesting.
LOL, we don’t actually shoot turkeys. We do shoot clays and have a fishing tournament, though. 🙂
Well, that sounds fun. Maybe better than actually shooting turkeys. 😉
This was super fun! I had 35 correct! That was way more than I thought would be the case. My favorite thing about fall is the beautiful weather and the sweaters and boots I can now wear:) After a hot Texas summer, I am always more than ready for cool days! 🙂
Wow! Great job! Thanks for playing.
Oh, yes, sweaters! 😀
One thing I LOVE doing in the summer is swimming, whether that be in the beach or ocean.
Love,
Ashley
But what about the fall, Ashely? 😉
Oh, I’m so sorry! For some reason I thought you asked about the summer. lol! I enjoy taking walks, reading books outside, and swimming, depending on the weather. We don’t usually have a fall…it feels like the summer, so we can swim a lot. 🙂
By the way, I am definitely a new kid on the block. I haven’t read hardly any, if any, of your books. But I love reading your blog and still would love to read them in the future. 🙂
Maybe someday you can read them. 😀
I had forgotten to change that one word. 😉 But I wanted to know what you enjoyed about fall. Maybe your winter is more like our fall?
Well, it doesn’t really get cold until January, even though there will be a few days in October and November that are cooler temperatures. In January, my sister and I have a tradition to camp out on the coldest day of the whole year. That is pretty exciting. 🙂
Oh, that sounds exciting! 😀
49! (My best score yet on one of your quizzes!) I mixed up the TCR books in #1 and didn’t remember which “man” had a scar in #3, but I’m pretty happy with it. 😉
Wow! That’s great, Angie!
Yes, TCR is easy to mix up. It almost mixed me up too. 😉
I haven’t read a lot of the books in this round so that was hard, but fun! I’m also not the best at names lol. Unsurprisingly, I got a 10 on the dialogue though… haha. Oh, a favourite thing to do in summer–S W I M!!!!
Well, thanks for playing anyway, Katja. 😀
