Book Trivia Game - Round Two

[Prof. Tarma Amelia Black]

The Book Club returns with Round Two of the Book Trivia Game.

Again, each month we will have a different overarching theme. Questions and/or answers will have their origins in that theme.

In September, we have Historical Fiction as our theme. Your challenge is to assign the correct historical time period to various books.

Your challenge is to match up the books to the authors. All of the books listed are used as are all of the authors. Some books might have more than one author, though, and an author might have more than one of the listed books to their credit!

Enjoy!
