How well do you know the bookshelf?

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

Ok so this is a fairly limited subset of the bookshelf but worth it for a bit of a diversion.

Sci-Fi and Fantasy Book Club quiz

I think I want to make the next one harder but opinions, spell checks are more than welcome.

Good luck!

[CBRetriever]

I did terrible

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

Ok, so maybe not harder for the next one :)

[Anna]

It might be worth doing a harder one for those who’ve read all the group books! 😄

And yay for more fun things!

[Sandy]

I did terrible too but then there are still a lot of books I need to read. I think I could only answer 4 or 5.

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

Thanks CB and Sandy for trying it out! And Anna of course.

[Sarah, The Unsettled]

Woohoo- 87%! Not bad considering I haven’t read a lot of them. I didn’t have a chance to really check my answers though since my app crashed lol.

[DivaDiane]

I also did mostly terrible. If I read the book I knew the answer, but I don’t even think it was a third of the questions I felt I knew the answers of. But also I got an error message when I submitted (app ID error?) and didn’t see my results.

[Sarah, The Unsettled]

I was able to check. Ironically- two of the five I got wrong are books I’ve read.

[Sarah, The Unsettled]

Diane if you click the link again it should show you your answers.

[DivaDiane]

Oh! When I went back to take it again it said I got 65%! Well, I guess I’m adept at guessing! Also I could often rule out 1 or 2 books of 4 because I’d read them but not the book the statement was referring to!

[Ada]

Oef 52% but I haven't read most of the books...

I did get to add 1 book to my tbr because of question 24: 'A sci-fi version of Groundhog Day'.

I'm a sucker for Groundhog stories!

[Gabi]

This was cool, Hank! I got 90%.

[Dawn F]

Hah, that was fun! I got 70% correct, apparently XD

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

<3 Thanks for putting me (us?) into Memory Called Empire, Hank!

This is so fun, thanks for making it!

[Ryan, Your favourite moderators favourite moderator]

70% (28/40) and shamefully two of the questions I got wrong were about books I'd read.

Thanks Hank!

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

I was hoping you noticed that you, and for extra credit, one other club member is represented. You never know when joining in on the discussion might help on a random trivia question :)

Glad everyone is liking it! Nice job crushing it Gabi and Dawn!

[YouKneeK]

Thanks for this Hank, I had fun taking it!

I expected to do really bad, but I did ok. 82% and the ones I missed were all for books I hadn’t read. There was a lot of guessing though, either by ruling out some answers that I knew weren’t right because I'd read those books as Diane mentioned, or guessing based on what seemed logical for the title, or using the process of elimination and not guessing the same title twice.

I may have missed or over-counted some, but I counted 49 unique books in the various multiple choice answers. Of those, I’ve read only 16.

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

Question 20 is unintentionally hard. A couple of the others are purposefully misleading. If you answer a certain way on question 20 you should count that as correct.

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

One of the other cool things about creating your own quiz which I did not know until now is that I get to see everyone's score.

So congratulations to both Allison and Kaa for the 100% just in case they are too humble to mention it.

[Kaa]

Lol, thanks Hank! I was just coming over to brag about having apparently read a very similar subset of group books to you - most of the books mentioned in the quiz I've either read or read enough about to recognize. I had a lot of fun figuring out the clues. Thanks for putting this together!

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

I mean, I'm kind of like the professor taking the test here lol. Excellent job Kaa and Hank for knowing all these books!

[Cheryl]

Hank, well written. I'm not surprised that I got only 52%. I will (re) consider adding some of these to mt. tbr based on your summaries.

[Melanie, the neutral party]

67% Do you offer extra credit?

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

My oldest (eldest?) son appreciates all of the extra credit he can get so.... of course!

If you can figure out who Five Rosewood is from this thread

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

that should be worth at least 2 points. Allison = Four Occulus for another hint.

[Bill]

I got 33 out of 40. Only got one wrong for books that I had read. Fun quiz.

[Jacqueline]

65%. I am very good at guessing.

Haha same! I did not read one of the clues correctly, duh.

Thanks for the quiz, btw!

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

Extra credit for Cheryl!

[Karin]

40 percent, but some were guesses. I just haven't read enough of these books. I thought I'd do worse.

[Anna]

Bump for those who hadn't seen this :)

[Anna]

I finally took this and I skipped one question I think? It doesn't have an answer at all in my results. I would've known that :( Oh well, it was fun anyway :D

Definitely do another one with older group reads!

[Pujashree]

I guessed an embarrassingly large amount and still got 39/40. Woo!

[Christopher]

36 of 40 correct (90%)

Thanks for the quiz!

That's impressive guessing! I did the same, ended up with 36/40 (37/40 if I take credit for the alternative answer on #20), and was pleasantly surprised.

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

Nice job all and thanks for taking it!

[Bonnie]

That was fun.
I got 35/40, wrong ones were for books i haven't read (yet).

Thanks for the quiz!
