Re: animals, check out the above exchange starting here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Short answer is not usually, but we can have a look at the book for you

Audio narrators would go with the version you are listening to and in the case of more than one narrator of the book, then the first one credited

Sure can

ok thanks Karen I was unsure myself

It's a tough one. The mods who were online are divided too. Do you have an alternative? Otherwise I'll wait for Kelly's opinion

Tie-breaker Kelly has given the ok for it to be brown :)

Yay thanks :○)

Would you all say that those clouds are pretty gray?

Yep

What if more than one person in the group reads the same book?

You can use them.

Can a team have again the same word for the new week they already had?
just bad luck?

yes
the words are randomised and not removed from week to week for the teams

I haven't heard from my team member Brianna since the 4th. She's been active in another GR group and reading a couple books, but she hasn't responded to my message, nor put her books on her wheel shelf. Perhaps she doesn't want to participate anymore?

Can the name "Oliver St. Ives" count for the letter I?

Can two people on the same team read the same book. For example a BOM?

According to my library a name like "St xxx" is alphabetised as "s" so I think you can only count it as an S

And yes team members can read the same book

I have a question. I have started I am reading it on the Kindle in which it says it is 500 pages. When I originally did a search on the book, the referring page, it says that it is 468 pages. Which should I go with? thank you in advance. Sorry if this question has already been asked but I don't pay attention to details like this until I have to. :D

Most of the GR versions are showing 500 or more pages so I think if you select the version you are using (Kindle) which is one of those over 500 that is ok to count as that :)

Thank you Karen :D

Do rereads count ?

Yes Joi, provided it has been more than 6 months since you last read the book

okay, thank you.

Karen, can I get BOM points if I start/finish the book before it begins in the group?

EX:Can I read The Girl on the Train now, since it is an April BOM?

I was checking the thread so I thought I'd let ya know Joi that the BOM points are only for if you write out the questions for the BOM, not reading them.

Thanks Karsyn.

That's right, thanks Karsyn

NP ladies. :)

I need a little clarification for our word for week 5.

On the weekly wheel posting it's listed as our word being ~

Granite gray

And even for the listings in the main all about wheel-a-thon thread it's listed as ~

Granite gray (grey cover)

But there, in the description of the color of cover we need, we get grEy cover, plus on the big official wheel it's listed as grEy.

So ~ my question is, which would you like us to do?

Granite grAy (grey cover)
or
Granite grEy (grey cover)

I just checked previous rounds and teams had grAy

My fault. I can't ever remember that weird American spelling of grey.
We are using the crayola colours so it is grAy

Thank you ladies! Just wanted to make sure. :D

From one of my team members:

"I have a question. My next book was going to be an anthology.
Can I use all the authors and characters name, or is it limited to just the overall book name?"

We use the main author, or editor name (depends on the book and how it is listed as to which counts). Characters follow normal character rules

Thank you!

Our team member Brianna came back, but now we haven't heard from Kerry-anne since the 9th, and she hasn't had any GoodReads activity since the 12th. I've sent a message with no response.

is there going to be a count down clock for week 6?

28 minutes from now until week 6 :)
Will post the new one for week 7 here:

For cerulean can the book cover be any shade of blue, or does it have to be that specific shade?

Would be okay, or is there not enough blue?

Thank you.

Would either of these books be considered SonicSilver silver?

It can be any shade of blue. I think that one counts as 50% blue

Yes they are both grey

Agnès wrote: "Would these books or be okay for fuschia?"

Poison study is purple ; the other is borderline 50% purple so I'd need a second opinion

Thank you, Karen!

Would the surname St Clair count as an S or a C?

Zee wrote: "Would the surname St Clair count as an S or a C?"

S as far as I know

Yes my library says S

Could I get a vote as to pink or purple for this one? Thanks!
