Teen Read Week Trivia
Last week was Teen Read Week, and we had a “name the book” trivia contest in the library. Prizes were books and gift cards for Half Price Books. Here were the quotes and the answers:
MONDAY:
“Look, I didn’t want to be a half-blood. Being a half-blood is dangerous. It’s scary. Most of the time it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways.”
from The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
TUESDAY:
“Listen, Bella! Whether we are in time or not, we will be in the heart of the Volturi City.”
from New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
WEDNESDAY:
“He had been thwarted, both in his attempts to find out what Malfoy was doing, and in his efforts to start a conversation with Slughorn that might lead, somehow, to Slughorn handing over the memory he had apparently suppressed for decades.”
from Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
THURSDAY:
“Life was good before I met the monster. After, life was great–at least for a while.”
from Crank by Ellen Hopkins
FRIDAY:
“We both know they have to have a victor. Without a victor, the whole thing would blow up in the Gamemakers’ faces. They’d have failed the Capitol.”
from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Teen who voted in the Teens’ Top Ten poll voted John Green’s Paper Towns their favorite book of 2009. See the entire list here.
