Let me know in the comments how many you got right! Did any of the answers surprise you? Comment by September 8 to be entered in a random drawing for a book (what else!) of the winner’s choice from my catalog.
Valerie M. Bodden has three great loves: Jesus, her family, and books. And chocolate (okay, four great loves). She writes emotion-filled Christian fiction that weaves real-life problems, real-life people, and real-life faith. Her characters may (okay, will) experience some heartache along the way, but true to her tendencies as a hopeless romantic, she will always give them a happy ending. Valerie is living out her happily ever after in Wisconsin with her high-school-sweetheart-turned-husband and their four children. Visit her at www.valeriembodden.com to get a free story.
I only got 2 right. I was surprised at the number of posts and that August had that August had the most books released.
Happy Wednesday Valerie, IR authors and all the wonderful readers. I have been following Inspy Romance for 10 years and love statistics. When I retired and over the years I looked and counted the list of authors. Every few months I look at the list of released books. Therefore, while I never counted how many titles have the word Christmas or love in the title, I made an educated guess. Hooray I got all 7 questions correct for 100%. The teacher in me coming out. I LOVE to READ a book – yes every day! Glad I am retired. Happy READING to all!
Haha I’m afraid I didn’t get any right but I’m glad they’ve published so many books to date! Christian romance is a large and nourished genre today.
They were tough questions! I’m not sure how many I would have gotten right if I hadn’t been the one to write the questions, lol!
Woohoo! I’m impressed! Thanks for being such a loyal Inspy reader!
That’s okay, lol! I agree with you that Christian romance is a well-developed genre today, and I’m so grateful for it!
I managed to get 2 right! Sheesh, now I feel really bad. I love to read, and read every day!!
I had no clue on any of the answers :-) But I do love to read, and being retired, I get to do a lot of reading.
I got three correct :)
Oh no! It wasn’t meant to make you feel bad, lol! I probably wouldn’t have gotten any of them right if I hadn’t written them. :)
That’s okay! The fun part is the reading!
Yay! That’s more than I probably would have if I didn’t have the answer key, lol!
this was fun and informative. I got three right.
I didn’t get any right.
Yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
That’s okay! You got to learn something new that way! :)
Every day is better by being Read a Book day. :)
I got 5. I think it was fun to see the answers to “Christmas” and “love” in the titles.
I got 3 correct answers. I was surprised about how many Christmas books were published in 2014. That’s a lot of Christmas books.
Yay! Good job! I totally agree that every day is better with a book!
Nice! Good job! I was surprised by how many Christmas books Inspy authors have published since 2014 too!
I really didn’t know any of the answers but I did guess at all of them. I got lucky and got 6 out of 7 right!! I missed the one about the posts, that’s a lot of posts.
I got 5/7. :)
That’s some impressive guessing! Good job! :)
That’s awesome! Good job!
I love a quiz! I got 5, but I did guess some. I’m amazed August is such a busy month for book releases but I suppose people do a lot of reading on holidays.
I’m sorry, but I didn’t know any of them. I read every day first thing in the morning and waiting to pick up my granddaughters after school. I have been known to sit and read most of the day, neglecting what needs to done in my house. Lol
Yay! Good job! So glad you enjoyed it. :) I was a little surprised about August having the most releases so far this year too. We’ll see if one of the later months overtakes it!
I didn’t know any of them! It was a fun quiz though.
That’s okay! They were pretty obscure questions. I’m all for reading all day and neglecting pesky things like housework or cooking. :)
I’m glad you enjoyed it anyway! I always feel like half the fun is being surprised by the answers to the ones you don’t know!
Thank you, Valerie. I forgot what my answers were by the time I made it to the answers. It has been a long day and I just cannot think straight anymore. Sorry. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.
got half
Lol! I was worried about that because I would have done the same thing. :) Have a blessed night!
That’s really good! Thanks for playing!
Got 3 of them right
I got three right
Good job! :)
Good job! :)
I got 2 right cos I didn’t try with a few cos I had no idea.
Lots of numbers (I forgot to get back yesterday to comment been a busy week I think)
Its amazing how many posts and books.
I know what you mean–some of those questions were pretty tough to guess! So many posts and so many books!
I only got 3 right. I was surprised at how many books have been published.
I got a few right. Thank you for the chance.
That’s pretty good! It’s a lot of books, isn’t it! :)
Yay! Thanks for playing!
I only got 3 right, but it was a fun quiz!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
I got 3 right! I was surprised at how many books have the word “love” in the title, but I probably shouldn’t have been! 😂
Good job! I guess we romance writers like the word “love,” lol. :)
