Sunday Stumper #1: Classics

We’ve decided to introduce a new weekly meme here at Brewing Up Books…Sunday Stumper!  Each Sunday, we’ll be posting a literary based challenge, puzzle, game, etc. that can be downloaded on a computer, tablet, or smartphone (or even printed out).  The following week, we will post the correct solution to the puzzle, along with a new one.  You can complete the puzzle at your leisure throughout the week, and, if you manage to finish it, you can email it to us (brewingupbooks@gmail.com) for a chance to be featured!  The first person to correctly complete the puzzle and email it to us will have their blog or Goodreads account featured on our sidebar and will also be mentioned in our Sunday Stumper post the following week.  

The puzzles will vary from week to week, potentially consisting of crossword puzzles, matching, fill-in-the-blank (with or without a wordbox), word searches, etc.  We have determined weekly topics for our Sunday Stumper, which can be viewed here.  If you’re interested in posting a Sunday Stumper on your blog, you’re more than welcome to!  Please just remember to link back to Brewing Up Books!

Since this is our first attempt at a Sunday Stumper, if you have any ideas/suggestions/improvements, please leave them in a comment below.  We’d love to hear what you think!

To kick off our first Sunday Stumper, we’ve decided to follow the theme of Classics, which are fairly universally read.  Chances are you’ve read a handful of these books and heard about even more of them.  Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
