Didn’t do so well last time did you?
Never mind. That was six months ago.
Armed with a child’s size four fistful of courage and a headful of book trivia, it’s time to make your way across the troll-guarded literary knowledge bridge once more.
Here’s a chance to show your book smarts one more time and possibly redeem yourself.
There’s a saying – a picture is worth a thousand words. You may have heard of it.
So crazy thing… try to name these famous covers of well-known novels.
If you’ve got even an inkling on a summer breeze you may be correct, scroll to the bottom very, very slowly. Pass mark to be considered a professional amateur is an uber modest 1/6. Anything more, like maybe 2/6, gets you a big yahoo.
Get them all correct and you go into the draw to win a one-way ticket aboard a luxury cruise ship. See ticket below.
But please… with all the sugar – no mobile devices allowed.
At least until you’ve tried the old-fashioned mental catalogue way first.

… missed The Rose Project and Lord of the Flies. TRP, I’ve never heard of and I was thinking The Jungle Book for LOTF, but I knew that wasn’t the right timeframe. 🙂

Depending on how others go, 4/6 might just be enough to get you a ‘steerage’ berth on board that cruise ship. Let’s see if anyone else can top it, if not the ticket is yours!

One is still a pass Mel and don’t forget – you get a participation ribbon for either pinning or your scrapbook as well!

I’m rather chuffed to have scored on Moby Dick and Life of Pi. I was leaning towards Lord Of The Flies, but then figured the cover was not dramatic enough for such a dark story. I then went rather pathetically for Paradise Lost.
