SBPT Tour Week #1: Book Trivia with One Way Or An Author



Today marks the first day of the 2015 Summer Blogger Promo Tour and I'm starting off with Aila from One Way Or An Author! To fit in with her name we decided to a book trivia game where I give her some sort of description (plot, setting, cover) of the book and she has to  guess the book and author. Every Sunday a new blogger will be featured so make sure to check in and see all the fun posts we have planned!

Book Trivia:


1. The cover features a winding white dragon, artwork reminiscent of Russia, and has something to do with weather

Aila's answer: Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

Answer: 



2. Blue mist and a dagger on the cover, written by a author who has published dozens of books


Aila's answer: *gapes at description for 5 minutes*
My only guess is Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta (hope I spelled that right)? I'm not sure if that counts for blue mist though... > v >;

Answer: 


3. Soon being released as a movie, written by one of the currently most popular YA authors


Aila's answer: Wow, um, this is kind of vague lol. Howwww soon? *narrows eyes*
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs? I recently heard news about a movie in production for that one. 
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir? That book's movie rights sold before it was even published, lol. 
"CURRENTY MOST POPULAR YA AUTHOR" WHO COULD IT BEEE
Wait wait okay, I got it: Paper Towns by John Green. I even saw the trailer a couple months ago yet it took me a pretty long time to think of it. :P
