We’ve been celebrating all week, with Cover Snark, Hide Your Wallet 2005 Edition, and a look back at Iconic Reviews.
But how well do you know us? I’ve got trivia, and a giveaway!
Giveaways are great, but trivia?
Trivia about a 20 year old weblog about romance novels?
That’s pretty fun.
And!! All trivia responses will be entered to win your very own, per my younger child, “Smart Bitches Chaos Emerald.”
Sonic the Hedgehog had one, why shouldn’t you?
It’s our Emerald Anniversary, and we’re full of chaotic energy!
I have two emerald crystal gem-shaped paperweights with stands to give away, and wow are they pretty.
Look at all the sparkly!
To enter, just fill out the quiz below all about, well, us! All submissions regardless of score will be entered to win.
Standard disclaimers apply: No compensation has been received for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 and ready to have some disco green sparkles in your home. Form will close at 12pm ET on Monday 3 February 2025, and winners will be announced shortly afterward. Sonic the Hedgehog Not Included.
Ready to test your Smart Bitches Knowledge? This was a LOT of fun to put together, and I hope you enjoy it even more than I did.
Here we go!
UPDATE: Congratulations to cleo and Linda, who have won the giveaway! Thank you for entering and celebrating with us!
You can still take the quiz, of course! (I seem to have made it much harder than I meant to.)
Happy anniversary, SBTB! Since the 20th anniversary gift is traditionally china, please imagine that this comment comes with a gravy boat from your Macy’s registry.
Congrat, y’all!
I got 9/15 which is a D (60%) but it’s a passing grade and I’ll take it! That was HARD – I guessed on a lot of questions, but the answers I knew, I really KNEW.
Anyways, congrats on 20 years!
Thank you!
Also I love gravy so that’s perfect.
Happy anniversary, SBTB!! What an exciting milestone!
Happy anniversary to SBTB! Long may you wave!
I am absolutely not ready for this website to be old enough to drink.
11 answers right, aw yeah! Did I go through and actually count the reviews by putting in the page numbers in the URL? MAYBE look I like being right but also some things I just wild-ass guess and got very wrong.
Happy 20th Anniversary!
Congrats on the show. I love how fun, kind and thoughtful the podcast is. ❤️
Happy Anniversary! I’m no longer sure when I started my visits here, but I know it took me years to work up the confidence to post one of those 350K comments.
I’ve so enjoyed the articles, acceptance and fun on this site. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried (RIP Catherine Heloise and Lady P, you are remembered), I’ve knitted, I’ve been appalled at the Bachelor/ette while greedily reading Elyse’s glorious recaps, and I’ve purchased books, oh so many wonderful books that have helped me grow over these years. Although the site and the other residents here pushed me on that growth as well.
Thanks to the SBTB writing team, both past and present, and all the commenters who add so much to the conversation and my TBR!
2 out of 15?! If I had really tried, maybe I could have scored zero. 2005 was a very good year and I am thrilled to have been along for this amazing ride. Thank you for everything.
I somehow managed to get 8 our of 15 even though I was guessing on almost every question.
(I did kind of think I knew #14.)
I also remembered a mention on one of the podcasts about an article in one of the media outlets in #8.
