This week we planned something totally new. *drumroll* We prepared a quiz for you. We want to know how much we taught you about covers. *wink* Below you can see 20 little squares with a little snippet of a book cover. We want you to tell us which book it is and who wrote it. You can fill in your answer as you go and enter you name and email addy at the end and there will be prizes for trying to play the game.
We were a bit scared that we made it too hard so we added a little hint for each cove to “help” you along. We swear we weren’t drunk. We’re just nerds.
There will be 2 winners:
One winner of a book (10$ top) from Book Depository chosen at random between all the entries with at least 5 correct answers.
One winner of 20 US$ shopping spree on Book Depository for the one with the most correct answers (random if more than one got it right)
Open to all.
Giveaway ends on Sunday August 19th and we will announcs the winners in the next edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Fun 🙂 Even if I did not manage all
You were very close to having them all though! *g*
Too many sex generic sex books! There needs to be more generic UF or SF! I can guess those covers with snippets and tiny hints
Bwahhahaah your answers made me laugh SO hard! lol
Yeah, I figured if I can’t guess correctly, I should be wrong in a witty way. But I knew one of them for sure! Maybe 2 others. If I missed the other two, it was due to exceedingly similar covers.
OMG your answers made me giggle. LOL Bwahahhahahah
Manage to answer them all :D.Is that mean I’m a cover… nerd?
Teeehee or that you’re a fervent visitor of this feature. *g*
I only recognized 7! 🙁
Now if all of them were of Paul Marron, I’d get them all right. 😉
Okay, while looking up #7, I think I answered all of them. Shocking.
Wouldn’t want it to be too easy for you LOL You can spot a Paul Marron cover at a kilometer! lol
Don’t do it! Sheree will absolutely be the winner 😛
LOL!
HINT FOR EVERYONE!!
You did include the obligatory Paul Marron cover as well as a Jed Hill and two Thierry Pepins. Thank you!
Oh, but I think Thiery Pepins cover is just one :O. Don’t recognize the other.
No, there are two covers with Thierry Pepin on them. 😉
FYI when I was prepping the squares I sent them to Susi and she had to guess which book it was for each. Let me say at least 3 she didn’t know!! lol
Hey don’t tell. LOL Evil woman!!!
I could not figure out like 4 of them and just gave up, lol. I think it could be cause it is WAY past bed time.
We’ll give the answers in the next post. And don’t worry you’re probably at least entered for the ‘5 good answers and more’ giveaway.
hehe I’d like to win the giveaway, but right now I just want to know the answer to the one I just couldn’t guess.
AAAAAHHHHHH! I just need one more…
I’m curious at which one is posing problems
After opening my eyes, squinting them, and just in general stretching them to find all these covers, I have much more appreciation for the details that go into these cover arts! Some of them definitely made me take a second look and go on to read the blurb.
I realized I wasn’t looking at the details either because I would never have found #18 for example if I wasn’t the one making the game LOL
i’m useless.. i only recognized them, but have no idea which book 🙁
You should check out the previous The Good the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me posts. You should find many there 😉
Holy Cow! There are three that I just can’t figure out. Although, I know that I have seen one of them FOR SURE! One of them I just have no idea at all (which is surprising because I love covers). That was fun!
*g* We tried choosing well known upcoming books or books we discussed in previous cover posts. It is annoying to KNOW that you’ve seen one but can’t remember which
I just couldn’t figure out one of them… I was so close… This was so entertaining. Thanks!!!!!
The funny thing is that It’s not always the same one that is problematic for everyone.
Depending on how many entries we have, maybe we will be able to tell each of you how many good answers you had.
if possible, I’d very much like that… because I think that I got a lot of them ok, but I might be wrong 😛
I shan’t enter (as that would be slightly suspicious, i suppose) but i think i got three 😀
could only give you the names of two authors though
Amanda you can enter the Quizz for fun! We’ll tell you how many good answers you got *g*
This is totally coooool… I’m having so much fun! Of course if having teary-eyes because going through almost every pages looking for any clues for hours (and days) can be counted as fun. 😀 But really, I had a really great time. Thank you very much.
*g* YAY this is making me so happy that you find it entertaining =) Good luck then! Only a week let before the results and answers are revealed
Great idea! 😀 Wish to see more of this kind of quiz! 😉
Thank you *g* It’s really making my day to know this was fun for you too! I was scared everyone would think it dumb. Since it’s been very well received we might do it again in a few months =)
This was hard, but fun.
*g* Thanks!
wheww.. I have been searching all over the place to find those covers.
thanks for this fun game 😀
Glad you enjoyed *g* Don’t forget to check for the results on Monday
I only found 17 🙁 I was hoping to know them all. Recognized a lot of them, but finding the correct title and author took more time then I thought.
17 is not bad at all! We’ll be giving all the answers on the Monday post =)
WOW! That was really, really hard. Dude. Seriously. I can’t even… My brain is like dead. For reals.
Some were easy but some were so hard! Brain fried, but it was fun!
