Who Likes Quizzes?

I like quizzes. What about you?

Well, actually, I don’t like pop quizzes. I feel my kids’ pain when they talk about those—something clearly along the lines of feeling crushed by books:

(Honestly, I still get stress dreams about taking exams.)

Nevertheless, I’ve often enjoyed quizzes. These are the kind of questionnaires that come with glossy magazines. Nowadays, we can take fun tests online. Caveat: I once shared a link to a free personality quiz and forgot to explain the fine details—one friend wrote back, having accidentally signed up for matchmaking services instead of clicking on the “free version” button. Whoops.

But I promise that these three quizzes below from Book Riot have been vetted and are nothing but bookish joy (and I’m honored that my books are mentioned in them). Feel free to take the quizzes and report back your score!

  1. I love quizzes–liked them even in school–but don’t tend to take the online ones, for fear of corrupting my computer with nasty viruses. Nice to see you and your books featured so prominently in these quizzes, though! Yay you!

  2. Pop quizzes are fun, but like Leslie, I tend to avoid the online ones.
    But I did try the 3 quizzes you posted and I am a Mia M & Abby C fan.
    I also matched all the opening lines, except one.

  3. I’m usually wary of quizzes (especially on FB), but…sometimes I make exceptions, ha. I must report that I flunked most of the first lines–not yours, of course, Jen–and got some unexpected results from the others. But I can’t help wondering…Did I give the right answers? Did I mess up? The longer I look at any quiz question, the better I can come up with reasons for other answers. (Ask me how well I do on standardized tests. No, please don’t.)

  4. I had to take the first line quiz, and I must have done well based on their reaction. (Didn’t see a score, but maybe I missed something.) I was mostly guessing since I’d only read two of the books included (one of which didn’t have their first line included, the other did).

  5. I loooooooove Buzzfeed quizzes that ask important questions like which Pink Lady I am, or if I were a sandwich, would I be made with rye. I think they’re hilarious and fun.

    Love seeing you featured, Jen!! I also took the soothing quiz and very much enjoyed it. (I’m waiting for my doughnuts and puppy.)

  6. Vickie: This was fun, Jen! Maybe we could come up with a Chicks on the Case quiz! Professor Kuhn could hand out the grades 🙂
    Pop quizzes helped out my grade average in college!
