For the prompts with "these letters in the title" does the title include the subtitle?

For the prompts like "the word lemon in the text", would Lemony Snicket count or is it the standalone word (and I assume it's plural form is ok?)

Q1 - For letters in title or series title, you can use any edition. So, yes, subtitles will work as well.

Q2 - As for word in text, if you find the word 'lemonade' you can use that for 'lemon' in text since the full word lemon is within lemonade.

does this count as a blue cover?

Hmm not for 75% it's more like 25%. I even looked through the other editions.

You're welcome!

For the unscramble words two questions:
1. Do all the letters have to be used?
2. If the scrambled letters are broken up into 2 or 3 parts, is the word a 2 or 3 part also or can all the letters be used in one word?

If the words are scrambled into 2 or 3 parts the answer would be two or three words. Not one.

Question that isn't only related to this challenge but I'd be posting a book for this challenge that my question relates to.

For series buddy reads, do you have to read all of the books in the series to participate? Or can you just read one of them? (I've only done single book buddy reads so I don't know 100% how the series ones work.)

For example, there's a Wayward Childrens series buddy read going on. I planned on reading the 6th book in the series this month. Can I participate using just that book? Or would I have to reread the others in order to participate?

Does this have to do with the AirHeads task - series has 5+ books in it? If so, then yes you can just read book 6 or book 1 and use it for that task because it's obvious that the series has more than 5 books.

Or are you asking this question for the series quarterly challenge? If so, you can just read book 6 if you want. You would only get more bonus points if you read the entire series from start to finish but if you don't want to do that and you just want to read that specific book - you totally can.

I might not have worded my question well for what I meant (but you were right that I planned to read the book for the Airheads task).

Let me try rewording for what I mean.

There's a series buddy read right now for the Wayward Children books but I'm current on the series except for the newest one and only wanted to read that one.

Do I have to read all of the books in the series to participate in the buddy read? Or can I just read book 6, post my thoughts in the buddy read thread, and get BR points for that book?

You can just read the book you want in the series buddy read. You do not have to read all the books.

Can I use graphic novels for the prompts?

Melanie wrote: "Can I use graphic novels for the prompts?"

If they are 100 pages or more after taking 1/4 out.

Hmm for short book I would go for 1-200 pages

Questions about the Round 4 Bonus Word Search thing.

First, can we submit a plural and non-plural version of a word? Or will only one count?

Second, are non-food items allowed? (As in an item you could still buy at a supermarket like a pen or bag.)

Hello! Hmm if you find the word Grape or Grapes. I would only give you points for one of them. As for non-food items, yeah if you can find in a grocery store and it's in the word search you are more than welcome to give me that word. Trust me, there's a ton in there because I wanted to give you all the opportunity for more bonus points.

Would you allow a person to be the "weapon" on the cover?

For example, I read and if you read the blurb you'll see her voice is a weapon and she is on the cover.

Or- where the hawk is on the cover and the hawk is like a weapon because he fought and injured bad guys so again kinda like a weapon

I know it's a stretch so if not then no worries, just want to check

I will accept both.

What about as a blue cover?

It looks blueish gray so I will accept as well.
