So, there are lots of multiple-choice questions, some amusing answers, clever red herrings, little-known facts about authors and some of the much-loved Say What You See picture round. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso, there are fixed and variable rounds - fixed ones include 'Blankety Books' (one word missing from the title - always with a theme), 'Literary Links and lists' (what connects\/next in the list etc.) and '2 of a Kind' (name the character and the author that share the same initials). The changeable rounds keep the quizzes fresh and include 'What the Dickens?' (real or made-up Dickens names), 'RomeNo or JuliYess' (real or made-up Shakespearian insults) and 'Book Bingo!' (identify the correct number). There are also more standard rounds such as 'First Lines', 'Working Titles' and 'Banned Books'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim of all Gary's quizzes, and this book, is that people should have fun and be able to guess (if they don't know) as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57686000271733,"sku":"9781472145291","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781472150080.jpg?v=1792599312"},{"product_id":"9781472148285","title":"The Book Lover's Quiz Book 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePut your bookworm reputation on the line and prove your literary knowledge with this collection of quizzes for book whizzes.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook lovers can answer questions by themselves or host a quiz among friends with twenty-four quizzes to keep you guessing with a variety of question styles including:\u003cbr\u003e-        'Blankety Books', where you must fill in the missing word in each title\u003cbr\u003e-        Anagrams to decipher\u003cbr\u003e-        'Two of a Kind', where you must identify a character and author who share the same initials\u003cbr\u003e-        Guess the book with 'Say What You See' pictures and badly drawn covers\u003cbr\u003e-        'Book Bingo'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe quizzes are carefully weighted so avid bookworms will get a workout, while more casual readers can still have lots of fun having a go.
