A Quiz from the NYT

A few days ago, J. D. Biersdorfer published a quiz in the NYT to test our knowledge about sequels to best selling books. I have streamlined the quiz and eliminated the multiple choice aspect. You must come up with the name of the sequel on your own in order to win! Please, no cheating. No Internet searches, OK?

After you take the quiz, please let us know if there are books with sequels that you would recommend

-Colson Whitehead wrote Harlem Shuffle in 2021. I thought the book was quite entertaining and would like to read his new one that takes Ray Carney into Harlem of the 1970s. What is the title of the newest book?

-Remember Margaret Atlwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale? Not surprisingly, Atwood decided to write a sequel in 2019. What is it?

-Did you know the movie Crazy Rich Asians began as a book? Don’t know if the new novel will make it to the big screen. If it does, what will it be called?

-Everyone in the Sandcastle Book Club should know the answer to this question because we read both of Jennifer Egan’s books. A Visit From the Goon Squad was the first one. What’s the next one?

-This one I didn’t know. How many of you read Nadre Aciman’s 2007 book entitled Call Me by Your Name? It’s a story of two young men and spans 20 years. Any idea what the second book is?
