Nollaig Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well, I only got 2/10 but I learned some interesting news! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 7 out of 10! (There was some educated and some lucky guessing going on!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I did get 9/10 this week, but like Raven, that was with a couple of educated and lucky guesses, but what I like about it is that I often find out some news I've missed during the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraloves Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Only 3/10 but did learn a fair bit hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Got 8, couple of guesses. Realised I was wrong on one just as I pressed it. Thanks for posting this, Claire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I got 5/10, I only knew a few answers and guessed the rest. My excuse is that I haven't read the Waterstone's blog and do not know anything that's going on in the literary world internationally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Only got 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I got 4, but I only knew 1 for certain. I'm with Frankie - I don't read the blog (although I might start, now!) Thanks Chesil. I learnt some great new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 I don't read the rest of the blog, but I do read the book news on newspaper websites, so that's where I pick up most of my answers from. I've only been following the quiz for a few weeks, and this is my highest score yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I don't read the rest of the blog, but I do read the book news on newspaper websites, so that's where I pick up most of my answers from. I've only been following the quiz for a few weeks, and this is my highest score yet! It is a fun quiz, I like literary quizzes in general and I like it that this is about the literary news of the week I might start checking this out on a regular basis. At least if some people did this and recorded their scores on this thread, then it would keep getting bumped up and more people would remember to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bree Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The first question. How COULD they do that to Anne Shirley!!!(I'm only marginally relieved it was not Heidi - but still!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) The first question. How COULD they do that to Anne Shirley!!! (I'm only marginally relieved it was not Heidi - but still!!) That was one of the one's I got wrong, because How could "Carrots" not be a redhead????? Or is that just the televsion version?

bree Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) That was one of the one's I got wrong, because How could "Carrots" not be a redhead????? Or is that just the televsion version? i Ah chesil it was a trick question, I got it right as they mentioned "not least dyed their hair" She did that once, correct? And yes, she's very much a red-head in the book But I got almost everything else wrong. Three on ten for me too.

frankie Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well done, chesil! Oh dear, 3/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I got 6! Woohoo! That's by far my best result. Lots of lucky guesses, though. I think I only knew one answer for sure (and I must thank Frankie for helping me get one right...*wink wink*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
