Ready to take a library novel quiz? I don’t know if it’s narcissism, but people who like to read love books on books. From Matilda to Elizabeth Bennet, so many of my favorite characters enjoy reading too. And reading about fictional (or real!) Writers always interests me. I almost always buy a book set against the background of a publishing profession or a bookstore. And then of course there are libraries, perhaps the best library of all. Libraries can be fantastic or mysterious. Romantic or suspicious. They are filled with more books than any other place.
This library novel quiz asks ten questions to help you figure out which set of novels in a library to read next. I know it’s a cliché, but this quiz really has something for everyone. From historical family mysteries in the context of the New York literary scene to library thrillers full of excitement, violence and tension. From a romance novel with a strict “undatable” librarian to a speculative novel about a library where every book is a second chance to change your whole life. The library is a perfect setting for so many different genres of fiction. And librarian characters can be romantic main characters, sinister villains, and morally complex main characters.
For book lovers looking for a book novel, take this quiz and find your next reading (or, more realistically, the next book to add to your endless TBR list).
