Hi everyone!
We are going to be doing a book trivia game on our October Book of the Month. So please go vote on our poll and we'll decide what book we will be reading this month!
When the book has been chosen and then read, Sydney and I will have list of trivia questions on the book and you have to do your best to answer them correctly without looking through your book! When the game is finished, we will be going through the answers and giving you guys scores and naming the top three winners.
All I ask is that you all be honest in the game (that means no looking through your book for the answers) and no stealing off other's answers.

PLEASE HURRY--YOU HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 1 TO VOTE ON OUR OCTOBER BOTM

Can't wait!

OK so we have only two more days to vote and we currently have a tie for first between Waterfall and Season of Wonder, so I will be creating a new poll and i ask that everyone re-vote on which of those two books they would like to be our October BOTM. Thanks!!

Just to clear up, so that there will be no cheating, at the time of the trivia questions, we will ask that you reply with your trivia answers by private message and that you include both Sydney and I in that message and at the end of the trivia, we will post here on this page the top three winners' answers and the correct answers.

PARTICIPATION IS OPTIONAL

[Haley]

Thanks for telling us. Will we read the book together then questions?

[Zoë, ~Faith Moderator~]

yes, I think one or two weeks to read the book, and then questions for the rest of the month. I still have to discuss this more with Sydney

[Haley]

Okay.

Hey girls!
Waterfall by Lisa Bergren has officially been chosen to be our October BOTM so please go to your local Library or Bookstore and pull it off the shelf because the trivia will be starting on October 17 and you will then have the rest of the month to submit your answers by PRIVATE MESSAGE please to Sydney and I.
NO CHEATING IS ALLOWED so that means no flipping through the book for the answers! This is purely trivia which means it is supposed to come from your memory. The top three winners will be posted sometime during the first few days of November.

[Haley]

Where will you ask the questions?

[Zoë, ~Faith Moderator~]

On this page

[Haley]

Okay, thanks for answering my questions!

[Zoë, ~Faith Moderator~]

No problem :)

[Zoë, ~Faith Moderator~]

It is officially October 17!! That means that it's time to start our October Book of the Month Trivia Questions!!!

The book is Waterfall by Lisa Bergren


Remember the rules:
1) No flipping through your book for the answers. This is memory only! Don't worry if you can't get all of the questions. There are lots and some are harder than others.
2) Please hand in your answers by MESSAGE ONLY to both Sydney and I. Make your answers clear. Write down the number of the question first before writing down your answer. If you are unsure of an answer, guess. If it is a wild guess, we won't laugh. Even I wouldn't be able to answer all of these questions!
3) If you happen to get only part of a question right, we will give you half a point instead of the entire point docked.
4) There is a BONUS question! This is worth twice the points. This question is where you write down your favourite scene in the book (books may be used for this and ONLY this. If you don't have your book, the scene does not have to be word-for-word.) However, you could also choose the other option and make up your own three to five paragraph scene. Should you choose to do both options, no extra points will be given. You will receive only the 2 points promised. BONUS question is optional.
