Trivia contests

Last week I posted about several unique book contests that are floating out there on the web. This week I found some slightly less creative ones, but ones that might still be fun. These are all trivia contests—contests design to reward faithful readers of particular books, series, or authors. Some of the prizes are pretty fun too.

Eagle Blue

You can win a book from Bloomsbury if you’re up on your trivia. Do you know your Alaskan basketball? Do you know your Michael D’Orso books? If so, then answer their question by March 31, 2006 to qualify to win his latest book. http://www.bloomsburyusa.com/Contests/default.asp?cf=0

Danielle Steele
Fans of the bestselling romance novelist can take their shot at winning a linen-bound limited edition novel at Random House:

Can You FTP?

Techies who excel at trivia have a chance to win a wide range of technical books—that is if they’re lucky enough to get third prize. The other prizes? Oh just little things like an Apple iPod nano, an HP workstation, a vacation for two, or an FTP conference pass.
