As the Heavens Are Higher: Book Quiz
How well do you know As the Heavens Are Higher? Why not take the quiz and find out?
I totally owe the idea for this to Angie Thompson of Quiet Waters Press. Probably, she didn’t invent book quizzes. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure she’d say she definitely didn’t. But she happens to be the person who put a book quiz in my way recently—and thus inspired not only today’s post, but several more to come.
Because book quizzes are contagious. You decide to do one. And suddenly you need one for every title you offer. So while this is the first, I’m fairly confident it won’t be the last SAW Publishing book quiz!
Are You Ready for a Quiz?
The quiz format is super easy. There are twenty questions. (The first one is NOT “vegetable, animal, or mineral?” I assure you!)
Five questions have to do with plot structure, five with character traits, five cover historical facts, and five highlight minor details.
All are multiple choice questions, so there is no possible way to lose points over a spelling mistake. (Happy sigh. My kind of test!)

How Did You Do?
So what was your score? Let us know how you did in the comments section below!
I’m kind of sorry I can’t take it myself. (I mean, trying it out to make sure the plug-in was working doesn’t really count, when you wrote the questions yourself the same week.) Maybe I’ll come back in a couple of months, and try it again. You can forget a lot about your own book in a couple of months. I freely admit I had to dig out my paperback copy to write the quiz in the first place!

😉 Well, honestly, I looked most of the facts up myself, rather than coming up with them off the top of my head!
