Thanx Kazen :) I got really lucky with it. I actually love this part of these challenges as well where we have to go through our never ending list of TBRs to find suitable books that we once upon a time added but never got to it, since I add books faster than I can read them. hehe

oh at one point they call the hyena a dog.. does that count at a mention? in that case it would be 95 points in total.

Thanx Kazen. I finished - 12th June. It gets points for-->
- bear in the title- 20pts
- bear on the cover-10 pts
- Land animals in the book as characters- Parker (bear), Ty(bear), Thomas baker(bear), Griss(bear), robert (bear) [these are the hero, villain and characters who play imp. roles in the book plus they all shift into the animal form] -50pts
- Land animals mentioned in the book- Hyena, Wolf [these also are imp characters but since only 5 characters can be taken, i used these as mentions]- 10pts

That's a total of 90 pts ( hopefully nothing gets cut-off)

a question.. what qualifies as a character? eg. just the hero heroine? or the antagonist? or anyone who is mentioned a lot?
like im reading a book with a clan so some of the members talk and participate alot.

oh and can i get more points for horse? since its a historical novel so they r always talking abt diff ppl calling for all their horses every now n then.

oh k so i don't think cat and tiger will work. here's d line - "In the end, he relented as her look of determination reminded him a bit of an angry cat trying to be a tiger."
pony, dog and horse were actual animals present.

I finished reading Falling for Mr. Darcy yesterday -10th June. And suprisingly I found the words 'cat', 'dog', 'pony', 'tiger' and 'horse' in it. So that's 25 points! Hehe. I havent checked if anyone else has read it.

ok.. thnx. also is there a quick way of finding out if anyone else from the other teams has read ur book?

can the animal be the same kind as long as the characters are different> for eg- a bear and a bear cub? is that taken as 2 or 1 since they are 2 diff. characters.

The movie is good, though I prefer the bbc mini series . It is exactly like the book. Infact every now and then I watch my favorite scenes . U should definitely watch the movie or the series it will help make the book more enjoyable.

I know even I struggle with classics n gosh! Im a literature student haha. Ul like pnp once u get past the first few chapters.. I had to read rebecca for school n I think I liked it though I dont remember much. I think my fav. classic is wuthering heights-which also took me many many failed attempts before finall got into it.

exactly! i already watch so many series and i want time to read and i have to squeeze in studying and teaching and eating and bathing somewhere in between it all so i havent yet strted any anime but its right there on my computer. waiting fr me . hehe 24*7 is just not enough hours.

i actually havn't read any cassandra clare books yet.. thats on my to read list right along side kate daniels series.. i dont pick up series very fast normally since once i strt it i cant stop until im done with the whole thing

omg! my cousins does the same thing.. she keeps telling me abt naruto and fairy tale and stuff lol

haha! i noticed u'r bored with pride n prejudice. i actually tried n failed several times to read it. the first time i read 1 page.. 2nd time the first chapter, 3rd time i read 2 chapters then watched the bbc mini series( which i loved) n then finally i read the whole thing. i really liked it then n ive read it a few times since then. :D

hehe not so bad i guess.. :) though TBH i am very generous when it comes to gving stars. but my reviews reveal exactly how much i liked it

Tori, even I read books, watch series, hear songs etc etc fr the love story. in fact when my brother wants me to watch a series that he's watching he'll either say the guy is cute or that there a love story in it. lol

pragya, even i LOVE comparing books. infact when i recieve a frnd reqst thats the first thing i do. i hate that the app doesnt allow that feature.

i also love readin historical romance. right now im reading falling for mr. darcy, which is a PnP variation. ive read a few variations and some are quite good.
p.s i normally post book names as Iinks but ryt now im using the app (which i use sometimes but then edit my msgs latr when i use my comp)

i've read the covenant series and the lux series.. i really liked it then.. but i haven't read much YA since the vampire academy n bloodline series. i loved VA more so it looks like Pragya, u n i have very different tastes hehe.
i actually just reread the whole crossfire series last month bfr i read one with u- the last bk in the series. really liked the series even though a lot of ppl criticized it a lot.

wow Kazen- six hours of interpreting...i feel tired just thinking abt it. lol.
i don't like British poetry or any poetry really but that's already done. i like novels and drama. i dont exactly have any unpleasant papers left. only German and aural viva left (though i get nervous and strt forgetting my answers during aural exams hehe)
