Book Trivia- Leigh Perry

It's time for book trivia and today's host is the Delightful Leigh Perry!!

Thanks, Shelley, for inviting me to devise fiendishly difficult trivia questions from my latest book The Skeleton Takes a Bow, which is the second in the Family Skeleton series. 

The Family Skeleton books feature adjunct English professor Georgia Thackery, a single mother who moves her teenaged daughter back home and then has to deal with the family skeleton. Which is a skeleton. Named Sid. Sid walks, talks, and tells bad jokes. In the first book, A Skeleton in the Family, Georgia and Sid solve Sid’s own murder. And in this one, they have to solve a murder without a body. (First it was a victim that was still moving, and then a victim that can’t be found. For the third book, which I’m working on now, maybe I’ll make it easier on them and just give them a tangible, non-ambulatory body.)

I’ll warn you, these questions are so darned hard that I’m not sure anybody can get all of them, so I’ll take the winner who gets the most right. (And if more than one person gets them all—hard to imagine though that is—I’ll pick one at random.)

The winner gets a copy of either The Skeleton Takes a Bow or A Skeleton in the Family, and you can either have the paperback edition or a Audible audiobook. (Your choice!) You also get Spooky, the skeletal critter from the Beanie Ballz collection.

So bone up on Sid the Skeleton!
