News!
Do you like films as well as books (as well as quizzes)? I hope so, because my new book 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! Makes a great present.
I have 2 live Movie quizzes coming up! First one is Putney Waterstones (October 14th) and then I am at Foyles Charing Cross road (Nov 3rd). Tickets here:
Book quiz wise I will be at Wells Festival of Literature (Oct 18th) and Farsley Lit Fest (Nov 1st) -
Here are links to tickets:
I'm very pleased to say that my second book quiz book is out in paperback on October 29th! We've changed the title and the cover - it's now called 'The Bookworms Quiz Book' - pre order that here:
The next Betsey Book Quiz is the 20th of October (it's the 3rd Tuesday of the month) if you'd like to reserve a table please email me at - gpwigglesworth@icloud.com. Do book as I am usually full come the night!
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.
I wrote and hosted a couple of private quizzes in December, both for Christmas parties, but I can do that at any time. Let me now if that's of interest!
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 at the Betsey! Check out my 'news' and 'next quiz' sections for forthcoming dates.
Thanks for reading!
