It’s time for some more fun and games!
You might have played some of these games back in March when I first had them up, but these are slightly different. Two of the games are the same names, but have different questions.
So get 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 33 – 46 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 15 – 32 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 – 14 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.
As with any games there are a few simple rules.
- You may NOT look at any book or story while you are playing.
- No one else may help you by looking things up.
- You are allowed to make wild guesses if you have no idea.

a Rafflecopter giveawayWell, did you have fun? I hope so because we’ll have more games on the 5th Tuesdays of 2020. If you didn’t do so well with the answers, start reading and prepare for the next round. 🙂
Whew! This was hard. I got 12 right. I guess I need to re-read your books again!
Oh, and I enjoy swimming in the summer!
Fun!
12 isn’t too bad, Lilly. Thanks for playing!
I really enjoying swimming alot during the summer, whether it’s in the beach or a pool.
Love,
Ashley
Oh, the beach sounds lovely.
I’m a Newbie XD not even gonna attempt it, cause most of these are still on my TBR!
Ah, well. I suppose you just have some reading you need to do. 😉 That’s okay though. I still like “new kids on the blog.” 😛
Having read only Unbroken, Dylan’s Story, and The Day Maid, I think 13 is a pretty good score. Too bad I couldn’t guess a few more right and reach ‘friend’ status, though … 😉 Fun game, though! It makes me want to read the other books.
I especially enjoy reading and writing in the Summer. Shocker, I know. 😀 I love being able to read the books that I had to (sadly) put side during the school year.
CutePolarBear
I’d say that was quite good for only haven’t read 3 of the books listed! Good job!
Ah reading! Yep. I enjoy doing that any time of year. 😉
Wow, that was hard! I did get the rank of friend though😊 I love reading and doing inside things…its too hot in Texas to be outside for very long!! And I love eating watermelon and making homemade ice cream.
Way to go! I like having friends. 🙂 Thanks for playing.
I agree about doing things inside. Missouri can get hot and humid in the summer.
Gasp! I’m so ashamed:[ I haven’t read a lot of those yet, so I didn’t do very well.
Oh dear. But at least you tried. 😀
This was so fun! Lissa and I did it together, and we’re experts 😉 JSYK, we are not entering the give-away, since we already have kindle copies of that book. 🙂
You two would be hard to stump when it comes to my books. Unless I picked some you haven’t read. *wonders if there are such books*
I got 16 right somehow! (I guessed for quite a few. 😛 ) So I’m a Friend! 🙂
Oh! And my favorite part of summer is going on trips and visiting friends. 😀 But I also like weeding with my family, which I know sounds strange. (I have some good memories of that 😉 )
Ah, the fun of trips and visiting!
I have fond memories of weeding a large neighborhood garden with my best friends growing up.
That was some good guessing then! 😀 I like friends. 😉
I’m a Friend!
Great job, Ethan!
And my favorite part of summer is baseball.
Oh, baseball! Do you play on a team?
No, I just play with my family.
That’s what my nephews do.
