I got 7 out of 10 :)

I got 7, too, but I was giving an educated guess on a lot of them.

I got 8. That was fun.

So I've read every one of these, and I also got only seven out of ten. Pretty sure I read different editions, in some cases.

SusannaG - Confessions of a Crazy Cat Lady 11 years ago

Yeah, some were easy, as I read it and I read that edition, and others were harder (I read it, but not that edition), and one I missed was "haven't read, never saw covers, for 3 of the 4 books."

I wish there were a key so I could check which ones I missed. 8 out 10 on the SF quiz too.

There is a link after the results are shown, where they say Show Answers. The link will show which you got wrong.

9 of 10 on this one, but only 5 on the classics quiz. Too bad it doesn't show which ones you got wrong.

There's a link with the results, but it's not very obvious.

I did the Classics one ~ 5/10.

None of the books I'd read ever had covers like that!

If you scroll down, it says: Show answers. It tells you which ones you got wrong.

7 of 10, I'm pretty proud of myself :) That was fun, thanks!

I got 9/10 on SciFi, and I don't even read that much SciFi. Some of those were easy to guess, though.

10 on fantasy! :D Though I had to guess a couple.

I got 6 out of 10 on the classic covers, and straight up didn't take the crime one, because the only one I recognized was Sherlock Holmes. There's definitely an age component to this quiz, because so many of these have been re-covered over the years. Maybe you read the movie tie-in of Gatsby, and not the iconic eyeball cover. I only recognize some of these from the editions my folks had; I bet they'd do better.

10 for me on Fantasy! I guessed on the George R. R. Martin one but the rest I either recognized the cover or guessed based on what I knew of the book.

Off to try the others!

9/10 Comic covers
8/10 Crime novels - half guessing
8/10 Sci-Fi novels
6/10 Classic - hadn't heard of several of them apparently

Wow, very good job! Maybe the British have a different set of classics?

I don't know, that makes sense though. As for the rest, either I've just happened to see the right covers or they just picked more I happened to know.
