This one should be easy to use for Jackonary :)

Celia wrote: "@Captains, did we ever decide on whether was allowed to count? If not, I can substitute the book I just read. Thanks."

We need to verify the page count Celia. What is the page count for the edition you read? Is it this Amazon version? If so, the page count is 87 which won't work. If it's another one, then we can go from there. The version you read needs to be 100 pages and over for it to count

Yep! You're right Alysa. I've added Karen's version of it there :)

Books updated to here!

@ Kimber - I've added your books. Glad you could find a book with a camera on the cover! I love Kristen Bell as well. I did grow up with Veronica Mars so I'm glad you didn't hate the book xD

I like the reasoning! I could only think of a MC who has had for ex-partners. This works too :)

I'll use it for Jackonary Stacey. There's a few chapter titles that we can work into the story. Are there any that would suits a sci-fi, fantasy, murder mystery?
I am liking "Stanley the Magical, Talking Squirrel” as a guide the protagonists need to search for

Thanks Lisa and Stacey! That ticks two more tasks off! Woohoo!

And good idea Alysa. Listopia's are always helpful

Oh you're right Alysa! Variety would be great at this stage for Jackonary. The more ideas and possibilities there are, the easier it is to make a story

Barbarian and actor are stumping me as well. Could have luck with an actor for a non-fiction book?

All books added to here

It would Stacey but it's really hard to see the skeleton. It could be a sleeve of the cape or something if fossil/skeleton wasn't mentioned

As much detail as you can from the plot of the book so we can use that information for Jackonary. So, runaway bride, kidnapping, reason for murder, espionage, what they had for breakfast etc. There's a bit of a story going on in the Jackonary for now that you can look at and see what information might bit there or make it worthy :)

Yep that's right. If your book doesn't fit Bingo or the Tasks, then try and leave as much detail as you can about the book that would fit for Jackonary.

Sorry for my absence the past few days team. I was sick and had then when I was able to go on technology, I had issues with the internet. Yay!

DQ Day 3 - Part 2, IV - Part 3, I (p 153)

10. In these parts the darkness comes and checks up on her a few times. What do you make of those conversations - what the darkness says and Adeline's reactions? Who or what do you think Luc is? Do you think something romantic could happen between Luc and Addie?

11. Addie and Henry meet up for coffee which seems to go well. What do you think will come of this relationship? Will it last? Will it be fulfilling for the both of them?

12. Will it be significant considering Henry could utter Addie's name? Would it be possible that Henry made a deal with Luc thus enabling Addie's and Henry's relationship? Do you think they have met or will meet in the story?

13. If you had a lifetime to do as you pleased, what would you do? Where would you go and what would you see?

DQ Day 2 - Part 1, XIV - Part 2, III (p129)

5. At about a fourth of the way through the book, how do you like Addie LaRue as a narrator/person?
She's okay so far. I keep imagining her as Blake Lively, which is distracting

6. Are you more interested in Addie’s past or present life (or both)? Why?
Her present life. Her past is irritating me for some reason

7. How do you think she handled the start of her "curse"?
Not so well. She panicked which is understandable. She could have researched it more before making any bargain

8. Addie seems to have serial one-night stands with the same person. Why do you think she does this, and do you have any concerns with the potential for manipulating the other party? (I am still thinking on this as a power imbalance).
I wasn't sure. A sense of familiarity maybe?

9. In this section, we meet Henry. What is your initial reaction to Henry and his ability to remember her?
I don't think much of him yet. Not sure what there is to give to her yet

DQ Day 1 - Part 1, I - Part 1, XIII (p67)

1. Other than BOM points what attracted you to this book? The rave reviews? The cover? The blurb?
The author attracted me to the book. I would say she's one of my favourites

2. Have you read any other books by V.E. Schwab/Victoria Schwab? If so, how does this book compare? If not, what do you think of the book so far?
Yes, I have. It's different to what I've read and not bad so far.

3. What are your thoughts on Addie and the bargain she made?
I thought it was an odd one to make but I can understand her reasonin

4. Obviously, selling your soul is going too far but if you were able to get a wish granted what would it be?
Ahh yes. I've thought about this a lot and my wish would be to get another 3 wishes
