News!

I'm very pleased to say that 'The Book Lover's Quiz Book: Novel Conundrums' is out in paperback on May 8th. We've changed the colours on the jacket and I've checked the contents (made a couple of minor adjustments/additions) so it's ready to roll! I'll hopefully be doing a few quizzes on the road to promote it - more news soon. 

Here's a link if you'd like to pre-order it 

The next Betsey Book Quiz is January 21st if you'd like to reserve a table  please email me at - gpwigglesworth@icloud.com (I'm also doing a charity quiz for the SYP if you're a member (Jan 22nd)

I send out an email 2 weeks before every quiz, just to remind people and so they can reply to reserve a spot. If you'd like to join that, let me know.

I had a great time talking to the lovely Charles Pignal for his podcast. We spoke about the quizzes and there are also some recommendations for some great reads.

My Story

Hello! Welcome to the official website for The Book Lover's Quiz Book.

Here you will find news of upcoming quizzes, very kind words about the book, other quizzes for you to try and an answer sheet you can use if you are playing in teams (which I recommend).

I'm a book lover to the core, I was a bookseller for 16 years and I now work in publishing. I also like a good quiz but I've found it's very rare to find a quiz just about books - music yes, films yes, but books not so much. So I started writing and hosting them, first at the bookshop I worked in (Blackwell's Charing Cross Road/Holborn) then in bars and pubs too. Currently, I host a monthly book quiz at The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon, London.

I hope to see you at a live quiz now we are back at the Betsey! Check out my 'news' and 'next quiz' sections for forthcoming dates.  Book 2 out now!

Thanks for reading!

“Fun, brain teasing and social, The Book Lover’s Quiz was a wonderful way to bring everyone together and wrap up this year’s Book Festival.”

Cheryl Pierce, Folkestone Book Festival

‘Gary created and ran an excellent online quiz event for Blackwell’s which was both jam-packed with literary delights and run in a humorous and fun-loving style. Our audience was equally appreciative of the brain-taxing elements and the light-hearted enjoyment’.

Zool verjee, Head of marketing & publicity - Blackwell's uk

'Gary’s quizzes are always fun, whether in person or online. Our company of a hundred people have used him repeatedly, both for inter-company quizzes and for public events to promote our work. Just hard enough, with fun extra rounds featuring Gary’s own unique brand of artwork. Highly recommended'.
