I tried this online quiz that asks you to identify books by their covers. Pretty fun! See how many you can do here: adults and children's (links you to sporcle.com)Spoiler Alert: Not to brag, but I got most of the adult titles. =p I missed The Prophet, a Brief History of Time (attempting over and again variations of History of the Universe? Stephen Hawking's History of the Universe?, I also missed Where the Red Fern Grows (I tried Old Yeller: does that count for sad dog books?), and The Lost Symbol (I guessed, The Secret, haha).
I wasn't as stellar at the children's books quiz, but still not too shabby considering my current part-time job has been my only real submersion into children's lit. =p Thumbs up, though: I did get The Giver.
For assignment two we were to guess/judge book genre by cover. Try it yourself here. I didn't get the "Techno Thriller" cover, which, according to our non-cited authors at Wikipedia, is, "a hybrid genre, drawing subject matter generally from science fiction, thrillers, spy, action, and war." So there you go. I pretty much nailed the rest. =)
And to end up the assignments, I'll share our Just For Fun link for the week: a six-year-old describes her impressions of books by their covers here.
Keep on reading!
