News!
New book news!! Do you like films as well as books (as well as quizzes)? I hope so, because my next book (out in September) is the Movie Lover's Quiz Book! It's a similar style to the book ones (20 full quizzes, red herrings, multiple choice etc) so if you're a film buff you will enjoy it (I am confident!). The publishers have done a lovely job on the design too, have a look (and pre-order please) at the link. I will be doing a few film quizzes around publication too.
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 the 20th of May if you'd like to reserve a table please email me at - gpwigglesworth@icloud.com.
I am also appearing at Leeds Lit Fest at the amazing Hyde Park Book Club on June 15th - tickets here
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!
