Love the content and the books you chose, but please be consistent about whether an answer needs to have a person's first name. I didn't bother finishing after both "Hurston" and "Hinton" didn't work.

Fun quiz! I could have used more time, maybe another minute; felt kind of rushed. There were a few answers I knew but didn't have the chance to think about for long enough. I like it, though!

Thanks! Took it again today and had plenty of time to get all the ones I knew. Still only got 44 out of 60 but I enjoyed it. I don't think it's too long for the time given.
