Q: Does Rose count as a seasonal name?

A: I wouldn't count that. It's between Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Because I don't think anyone would name their child Spring or Fall. Lol.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: Would you say the name "Poppy" counts as a seasonal name, since poppies are a spring seasonal flower?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: If I'm doing the one of the message a mod tasks, can I ask you to choose from a specific one of my shelves on Goodreads? I have a lot of books I own but have never read, so I've started a shelf for...

A: Yes ma'am. When you message us a genre we actually message you back for a few books that you want to read and then we pick from the ones you send anyways. So whichever mod you message include maybe like three book covers in the message so we can pick one for you. (:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: For read a book with "May" in the text, would "Maybe" work? Or does it have to be the season "May"?

A: Only 'may' please. (:

But it doesn't need to be specifically for the month of May. It could be a sentence like "May I please have another piece of cake?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: For MC’s name starting with A, F, or L, is last name okay? Or is it meant to be first name?

A: I'll take last name since I didn't specify.

Does a book count as an item of art?

Ok so we can all read from a different category at the same time or do we have to all read from the same category until all the tasks are completed?

Hmmm. I’ll count it.

Are the hair on this cover brown or red? I really can't make it out, lol.

It's auburn-ish. So I'd take that for red. (:

Hmm, I'm wondering if you will accept for the MC w/an unusual pet category? The Cheshire cat is frequently referred to at Catherine's pet in the book. She does refute it a couple of times, but everyone else seems to think the talking, disappearing, color-changing (and thus very unusual) cat is hers.

Whatya say??

That's fine. (:

yay! Thank you!

<3

Just out of curiosity.... I noticed we have a banked books tab on our spreadsheet. Can we bank read books to be used in the later hunts?

Of course!

I always forget this, plays count for 1/2 pages and can be used for a category in this challenge if this count still exceeds 100, right?

Uh. Yes and yes.

Yay!

Does Rose count as a seasonal name?

I wouldn't count that. It's between Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Because I don't think anyone would name their child Spring or Fall. Lol.

If you would like a book rec. here's one for ya. (:

Okay will bank this one lol

Can I count Harry Dresden's "hell hound mutt" as an unusual pet? He's not a normal dog he's part hell hound...

Felicia wrote: "Erica wrote: "Does Rose count as a seasonal name?"

I am so naming my children Spring and Fall now. Especially on sims.

Thank you.

Ugh, for the publication date w/4,5,6 in it - can we use any published date for a book or does it need to be the most rated edition?

For publication date, you can use any edition. You will still have to use the correct page count though.

OH THANK GOODNESS!!!!! I wish I figured this out a while ago!

LMFAO. Thanks for answering twin. I've been on the fence about if I want just most rated edition for that and now I don't have to decide. Hahahahaha.

Hmmm, wondering if you would consider accepting books from a list of most beautiful covers for the “work of art on the cover”, because for the books on the list, the cover IS art??

Jennifer wrote: "Hmmm, wondering if you would consider accepting books from a list of most beautiful covers for the “work of art on the cover”, because for the books on the list, the cover IS art??"

Oh that's a good one. Can you link the list for me please so I can take a look?

These are just a couple that I thought were the most relevant and not year specific:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/101.Best_Book_Cover_Art

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4581.Judge_A_Book_By_Its_Cover_

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/75516.Most_Beautiful_Book_Covers_Ever

I will take books from the first link since it's book cover art in the title. although the shatter me books are on the third link and they're my favorite covers.

Ugh, shatter me. More like barf me. 😑

Stfu. -.-

Yeah, I think some of the covers made the list based on graphic design - which people do go to art school for, so....

If I'm doing the one of the message a mod tasks, can I ask you to choose from a specific one of my shelves on Goodreads? I have a lot of books I own but have never read, so I've started a shelf for that because I want to read as many of them as I can over the summer before I go away to college. So can I message a mod and ask them to pick from this shelf instead of a specific genre?
