Indie Book Quiz

[Jonathan]

I've just posted an indie quiz on my blog (which may be the first in a series if it proves popular). There is a range of clues and all answers are INDIE BOOKS.

I'll post the quiz here as most, if not all, books are by GR authors.

Enjoy!

(Please consider spoilering replies if you wish to give answers here.)

1.e.g. the fish, the sperm, the Michael Phelps (3,7)
2.Comes after winter? (5,6)
3.ANAGRAM: CHEF MOLE TUT (3,4,2,2)
4.Walking disaster visits Italian city (7,4,2,6)
5.COVER CLUE: A red case in snow (2,3,5)
6.Fourth (or second!) Eddie book (5,2,4)
7.Playground feature gives ups and downs (6)
8.A new way to kick the bucket (1,5,3,2,3)
9.Talking Beech/Oak/Elm? (11)
10.INITIALLY: TOGJ (3,4,7,5)

[Michael]

I'm a bit rubbish at these things.

Which question is that the answer to? ;)

[Michael]

Is Engelbert Humperdinck the correct answer for any of them?

I like to get my good guesses in early.

I'm calling bagsy on Engelbert Humperdinck.

[Jonathan]

You're close, Michael, in that there's an 'e' in one or more of the answers.

[Kath]

Haha! I subscribe to Jonathan's blog so I saw these earlier. I got all but one ( I think) so he kindly gave me a clue.
I don't think Humperdinck is an indie author.

[Jonathan]

And the clue wasn't Engelbert (blank)

[Kath]

Or even (Blank) Humperdinck!

[David]

I've only managed four so far. Abysmal I know.

[Kath]

You don't eat enough fish. Brain food!

Well don't get sleepless nights over it. Email me for clues if you want! ;)

(If it makes you feel any better, Maureen got -1 correct)

[David]

I don't like fish unless it's battered! I always thought I could've done better if I ate more fish.

I'll keep going. I'm too dense to give up!

Haha! Did Maureen get number four by any chance?

[Michael]

No-one can be as bad at quizzes as this woman who phoned Radio Merseyside:

[Jonathan]

No, Dave, she got - 1, as in MINUS 1. She went off in a huff slamming doors so I deducted a mark from her score of zero!

[David]

Hahaha!
