The tables have turned and Nise, always at the top of the Leaderboard, has created a quiz just for you (and me). All you need to do is match the titles with the year they were first published. Easy right? If you aren’t already familiar with Nise you are missing out and should visit her blog immediately!
Please play along with us. For everyone who plays an extra $ goes to the winner and the everyone is entered for a special prize. Just leave a comment with your guesses and don’t google the answers.
Rules & Leaderboard here. Last week’s Suicide Quiz here.
If you are interested in creating a quiz (and earning 100 points for the week) let me know and I’ll get you on the calendar.
