Which book are you reading? Is it Discovery of Witches?

Would Palazzo Pubblico or Fonte Gaia in Italy work for a famous landmark?

Hi Dawn,

Does Lake Treasure or the French Quarter in Austin, TX count as a famous landmark?

Sorry all, another start to a crazy week.

Megan yes it would work.


Cindy, If you can provide support for either I would consider them. I personally have never heard of either and an initial internet search didn't pull up either on the first page of result.

I live in Austin and there is no Lake Treasure or French Quarter... there is Ladybird Lake, and 6th Street, and Mount Bonnell, UT Tower...

Thanks Dawn & Alana!! I guess the author was using ficional names for landmarks :(! I'll continue to look.

Yea I was wondering about that I've lived in Texas my entire life and had never heard of a French Quarter here only New Orleans. Alana I just finished a book that takes place in Austin even mentioned 6th st.

Not the freaky cover again. Jenne, you are scaring me.

I am listening and not liking

Ez I'm trying to haunt you with it ☻

you just have to add mwuhahaha, and I would be quaking in my boots (LOL).

Oops sorry, here's the bigger version

Now are you quaking in em Ez?

I can't stand you!!!LOL.
How are you NOT scared looking that zombie vampire who is obviously a messy eater, but with perfectly clean teeth?

100 kids! I feel tired just reading it. Have fun!!

Would waterfront or harbour work for shoreline? The water in waterfront is a sea loch in the highlands of Scotland. The setting is Lochdubh, a little village along the loch. Everything is waterfront this, waterfront that.

Never mind. I found one in a different book. :)

Dawn - would a mention of "the coast" or "the beach" work for shoreline?

What is shoreline? Can you explain a little bit. For instance, Would this book cover that shows a sea/ocean work for "shoreline"?

Anywhere near a body of water sea, lake, river, creek, etc.

Dawn has it in deeper explanation on the hunt help thread. That's where I got the post I just put up before this one. Hope it helps guys! Happy Hunting :)

@Dawn:
is this acceptable for shoreline?

"He slid down the bank and dove headlong into the water..."

Would "I washed ashore in Boston and I haven't entered the ocean since" count for shoreline or is it too vague?

Never thought shoreline would be so difficult to find. lol

Shoreline is where the water meets the land. So any mention of water and dry land meeting will work.

It can't just be the ocean or water, you need to have land too.

How about this one Dawn?



I see both land and sea will this cover work for shore line then?

Washed ashore would imply the shoreline, I'll take it.

Yes, the bank would be the shoreline.

Yes it would work.

Sheila wrote: "Dawn - would a mention of "the coast" or "the beach" work for shoreline?"

Yes.

For some reason this one is a stumper for me.

Thanks Dawn. You rock. Is coming back to all of this "will this one work" "what about this" almost like working with 4th graders? lol I actually almost tried to write my question the way a kid would just for fun.

LOL. The group I got was mostly boys so you all would need to make some fart sounds with your hands to compare.

Damn...I never was any good at that. I was a tomboy growing up so I always wanted to be able to do that and blow snot rockets like all my friends...still can't do either.

Glad you survived!

Thanks. Dawn

Dawn~My new post is up for you!

Sorry I was a little late today. We had our first non-forcasted snow in the city today. My daughter is going on a field trip to a corn maze and I hadn't dug out all our winter gloves and hats yet. I had to make sure she was warm enough to survive walking to school. 9 year olds can be very dramatic.

But anyway the item is up. It is Blue. Rememberr if you are going for the color on the cover it must be at least 50% of the cover.

SNOW!!! - YIKES!!!

My sentiments exactly. Snow is one of those 4 letter words not said in polite company.

hope your daughter is nice and layered.


in Texas, we love hearing about snow since we don't get it much. My daughter is the only child who remembers snow. So we are going to the my inlaws (new York city--the Bronx specifically) for Christmas holidays. So hopefully they will see enough that I won't have to hear how Santa isn't going to come because there isn't snow for his sleigh

Hey Dawn, when it comes to couple does it have to be the main characters of the book or are any couple that are mentioned in the book fine?

Thanks!

so sorry about the Snow Dawn -- really sorry

Any couple in the book will work.

Thanks Dawn. And I'm sorry you have snow too. Snow is definitely a four letter word here too. Hate it. I think it's pretty, but if I want to see it, I'll go to the mountains and visit. lol
