Don't Know Much About Literature? Give this Quiz a Try and Find Out

Book Clubs are Talking About...

I was feeling a bit deficient after realizing I've only read 34 out of 100 of NPR Listener's Best Beach Reads Ever, so I thought I should take a crack at this quiz which I tweeted earlier today. How did I do? Well, I only had to text my 14 yo once for help...

Let's just say I didn't do very well on it.

I missed 5 (I think) - that's not bad! I'd have gotten a 75% and that's a passing grade. :)

Thanks for posting. I only had 29 - guess I'd better get reading.

I missed 5 as well. Definitely gotta keep reading!

It'd be nice if it said what the correct answers were on the ones that were missed.

I'm a page, I don't know how many that was wrong.

I'm part of the privy council whatever that means!

Er, this book is out now, right?! I love these "Don't Know Much About ..." books; my test results say I need to buy this one (and keep reading; maybe revisit some classics!)

Who is Book Club Girl?

Book Club Girl is: a member of a book club and an avid reader who spent most of her childhood immersed in a book, an English major who considered library school until she realized it was all about computers, so turned to publishing, where she now works (but she vows to talk about books from all over and not to simply flog those from her own house). She was single, lived in the city, met a man, moved to the 'burbs, and is now a wife, a stepmother, a mother, and in her spare time, a fledgling blogger dedicated to sharing great books, news and tips with book club girls everywhere.

My Review Policy

I review fiction and nonfiction that is appropriate for book clubs. This includes literary and some women's commercial fiction as well as memoir and narrative nonfiction. I do not review self-help, thrillers, mysteries, horror, or fantasy. I have a fondness for YA literature and while the blog is not devoted to it (well, except for my obsession with the Betsy-Tacy series), I will occasionally review some YA books. The best way to reach me to request a review is to email me at bookclubgirl AT gmail DOT com.
