6 POINTS

JK Rowling - rfgqqabc, Mohican, Newportlad, MintTrav, Silo Graham, Laxie

3 POINTS

INCORRECT ANSWERS - 11 POINTS

Pass - DMorgan

Objection

various lists for this I am sure, and Twilight series is number 2 on this one from 2000-2009

There's more than one source for a question like this

"Meyer's young adult novels were popular with teenagers and adults, and were among the top 10 bestsellers for any genre for several consecutive years. "

There may be more than one source, but the link you've chosen definitely isn't one of them. They're not even claiming to list the top ten authors.

My second choice for an answer was God- by the time you've got through all the Korans and the Bibles, I'm bound to have been in there.

That list is just specific books tho? e.g. why is Deathly Hallows there and not other Potter books.

Mine was also UK only.

First one of these I have seen.

Also missed Tighty's commentary of the 500 final table.

Two regrets right there, by the looks of the last 12 pages...

Oi! 
My quiz was brilliant, tyvm.  Yer only jealous. 

Well done tilting Tighty, Cf.  Wasn't sure about your quiz.  Seemed too safe, but you proved me wrong...and Tighty too.

Yeah that's a good point mate.

I also think far too many people are obv googling stuff. Coming on here and quoting wiki, saying there are loads of lists and quoting a currency from a site yet to be updated are all clear indicators.

Lets get the quiz policed right. You won't find some of my answers on the Internet that's for sure.
