This week at Weekly Geeks we’re quizzing it up as the Geeks unpack the question cards for a round of quick fire, book trivia contests. My quiz is entirely based around Terry Pratchett and his novels, starting with a super easy question (seriously I’m actually giving you the answer in future questions) and moving on to some that may be a bit more tricky but shouldn’t be a problem for the many Pratchett devotees floating around the book blog world.

It’s fun to give things away occassionally (but this is probably going to be my last giveaway until Christmas so make sure you enter) so I’ll be handing out a prize for the person who gets the most answers correct. You can choose any one of the books I listed as possible holiday reading and you will receive a clean, second hand copy. In the case of a tie break situation I’ll use a random number generator to decide the winner. The quiz is multiple choice, so leave your answers in the comments (example: 20, e) along with the book you’d like to win. The prize option for the quiz runs until midnight GMT Friday. Remember no googling and have fun!

Comments:

Oh dear - I see a flaw in the competition system! Quite pleased that I knew all the answers but then I have been reading his books as they come out ever since I was a naughty 15 year old in class slipping his early books inside my history text book!


Comments:

Peta - Yes people would just grab other people's answers and repost but you have to be sure the person you borrow from is right ;) I'm pretty happy to see some of the biggest Pratchett fans I know in the book blog community runing out for this one. I sort of thought a few would be a bit tricky but I think maybe I underestimated you guys!


Comments:

I have a feeling you've run into people who own copies of the 'Unseen University Challenge' quizbook and get worrying proportions of the answers right.


Comments:

Doh I did not even think of that (I do not have that by the way)!;)
