Welcome to another Tuesday quiz. You have until noon Saturday to submit your answers as a comment. Comment will be hidden until I post the answers. For more details and the leaderboard, go here.
This week will still be a part of the current round of quizzes, so you will be adding $ for the round winner and be eligible for a prize BUT today, for Armchair BEA, one lucky recipient will win a $15 Barnes & Noble giftcard. On Saturday, Gage will randomly choose one quiz participant to win. To be eligible, you only need to guess, you don’t have to get any right 😉 The guessing is the fun part!
For all of you bookish people stopping by today, see if you can identify these books. Just tell me the title (and author for extra points) in a comment. And for one extra entry in today’s giveaway tell me what they all have in common. Good luck!

I’ll only guess the ones that haven’t been guessed yet.

#11 is Bridget Jones Diary by Helen Fielding
I also knew The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett, The Reader by Bernhard Schlink, and The 13th Tale by Diane Setterfield. I’ll also guess that the commonality is having books on the cover, but in all honesty, I looked at softdrink’s paper for that one! Can’t wait to see what the other books are. Thanks for the great quiz!
50 points! I’m glad you played along. Thanks for admitting that you looked at Jill’s answers 🙂 I hope you’ll play again.

1. ?
2. ?
3. ?
4. Wench by Dolen Perkins-Valdez
5. The Writing Circle by Corrinne Demas
6. ?
7. The Uncommon Reader: A Novella by Alan Bennett
8. The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
9. This Book Is Overdue! by Marilyn Johnson
10. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

12. ?
I know I have read #1 and #12, but can not think of the titles to save my life.
I read, reviewed, and own #4 and #11, and have seen the movie version of #8.
For the extra entry, I think all the books deal with adversity, since they are by different publishers, both men and women, people of different colors, Americans and Brits, and so on.
70 points for you! I’m glad that you had fun guessing. Hope you’ll try Tuesday’s quiz.
Again, drawing too many maddening blanks. Oh, well.
10. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
11. Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding

10. The Thirteenth Tale
11. Bridget Jones Diary
* They are all about books.
16 + 10 for 26 points 🙂

I think 6. is Murder is Binding by Lorna Barrett
7. The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett
10. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfeld

Oh, wait, I want the extra points! (I’m a nerd when it comes to quizzes.) BJD is by Helen Fielding, TWC is by Corinne Demas, and TTT is by Diane Setterfield. I believe the connection is that all of them have books (or a diary) on the cover.
