R2: ♬ Something To Talk About
ANNOUNCEMENT It would be most appreciated that if you are using an alternative book cover to get points for "cover" to please make sure you link that one to your review so that the Bouncers don't have to go searching to see why you're claiming points. Thank you!!
Thank you for helping me out there, sexy Miss Susan.

Great thanks, Mr. Elf! I didn't know we could get points for alternate covers!!
I have a question about the word. Does it have to be exact? I have shimmied but not sure if I can use it.
Elishia, I would say yes to that.
I'm with Susan. Shimmied, shimmying or shimmy would all work.

"No. That book does count for plot points, not for cover points.
I wanted to check whether a Western romance which has most of the action set in the town (which is a Western small town) rather than on the ranch itself would count towards Setting points.no drama if it doesn't - just wanted to check

"Mary, what's the link to the song? Just double-checked the lyrics, but they don't mention a road. Sorry, just wondering if I'm missing something?

Damiellar, thanks for clarifying. If most of the action is set in the town, then no, it wont count as setting, sorry :-( I got your hopes up for no reason.
I picked a different book anyway but I thought I saw a road trip as a link and well there's a road on the cover. But I'm reading something else.

The hero and heroine in my book travel to France to rescue the heroine's betrothed (she is a loyal friend to him).Would this count toward the plot?
Mary wrote: "I picked a different book anyway but I thought I saw a road trip as a link and well there's a road on the cover. But I'm reading something else."You're completely right, under setting it says road trip. I took that to mean a story where the setting was a travelling by car kind of thing, long hours travelling from point A to point B, rather than literally travelling by any road. No wonder there was confusion, lol. I might ask Nick to clarify.
Mary, just double checked. This was the decision."A book where the characters spend a large chunk of the time travelling from one place to another, fits the setting. But road on its own doesn't really link to the song, so a road on the cover wont get any points."
I know you've changed your book choice, just wanted to clarify.

Just checked for you Lauren, I'm unclear whether the travelling that's taking place is taking place for most of the book or just a few scenes / chapters.
I think it would count for plot, not for setting, but if you find that they do spend a lot of time travelling in the story, let me know and we can amend. Alternatively, if anyone else has already read the book, can you clarify?
I am wondering if there are any cover points for this:
It's not a whole beach scene, but there's beach stuff. And would the plural friends count for title, or does it have to be singular?
Thanks CaroB.It is only a few chapters so I think it works for plot not setting, right?
Megan, I think the covert us still evocative of summer, so it would get you cover points. The title can be plural for friend, so that would work for title points also.
Sorry am on phone. That was meant to say the cover is still evocative of summer.
Yep, Lauren, that would count for plot.
One last question:There are several scenes set in a garden at a country estate and in a cabin in the woods - would this count for setting?
Miss Lauren, I'm sorry, no. Several scenes don't make up the majority of the book.
Just asking (don't hate) , so last time the same team members can't read the same book , can we do that now ?
Ab2y wrote: "Just asking (don't hate) , so last time the same team members can't read the same book , can we do that now ?"Sure, Ab2y! As long as it links to the song and is more than 150 pages, you can read what you like, even if someone in your team is also reading it. No problem.
Did we have that last time? I can't remember. There were no such restrictions except that it links to song and pages last time, were they?
I don't remember there being that restriction the last time either.
For the little I played last time, as I was a filler, I don't think that was a restriction.
Okay , i just went back and really read the rules this time and i think i did the whole challenge with my own rules .* Self to note read the Rules before starting (anything) .
Hahahaha! Aren't we doing enough reading?! Why read rules too!! :) lol

Yes Karen. That book will get you cover and plot points = 6 points altogether. Sounds like a fascinating read!

Oh, Karen, I'm so sorry! I'm finding it a little bit hard to get personal computer time at the moment. Hope you enjoyed the second book nonetheless.

No issues CaroB ! I know you have just got a new job !how is it going btw?

It's fantastic! I can't actually believe I'm this excited about a new job, lol, but the people I'm working with seem really lovely, great vibe to the place and I like the role I've been employed for. It's six weeks full time and then I go to three days a week, so that will be ideal for family time, but right now my head is feeling very full with all the new stuff I'm learning :-)... Hope I'm still feeling like this in two months time!
To the awesome mods: I was doing the pts calculation and mine doesn't tally with yours. I then noticed this: Judy read Charity Girl which we calculated to be worth 9 points. But in the spreadsheet, it's noted as 10. Did we calculate wrong? If so where did the additional point come from?
CaroB, I'm glad the job is working out super for you. I always love the initial few months when everything seems so new. I'm glad you are enjoying it too.
Oh yeah! It's awesome, right? I've been following the blog ever since he started doing the poses. Have you read a book by him?
not yet but planning to! what about you?
