A warning: this quiz is not for the faint of heart.
It was made for those who know their covers and to which titles those covers belong to.
It was made for those who can spot a detail and hold it fast in their memory.
It was made for those who like a challenge and are sure they can win it.
But it was also made for those who, like me, keep seeing similar covers in stores thinking it is one book we saw previously, and it turns out it is another.
For those who see patterns and colours in book covers and think: ah, these match!
For those who like a challenge, whether they can win it or not.
In this quiz, you will find pixelated images of different books that have similar elements to them. Not a whole cover, but a small part of it, and this is why this quiz is not for the faint of heart: it is for those who like to have a good time and always give guessing (sometimes more than actually knowing) a try.
It’s a fun quiz, and I guarantee that while some options will be tricky, others will be a piece of cake. And you’ll have fun throughout.
If I could give you something to aid you on your journey, it is the advice to stay sharp: there’s an even trickier question at the end!
