Title: Anything that has the words TALK, MONSTERS, or MEN in it.

Why doesn't LITTLE count? :/

yes

OK, I'm off to go see the science building....

I don't understand either why we are changing the rules for that when we've been so strict in previous weeks with the names in the title. The title of the song is clearly 'Little Talks' and there are plenty of books that have either word. It makes sense to me to allow some room with the name of the band because obviously it will be difficult to find somebody called 'Monsters' or 'Men' but the title of the song is very clear.

[Gea]

Can the word from title be in name of series? And could a surname that finishes with -SON count (for example Thea Harrison) ?

[Alley]

Would a zombie on the cover count as a monster?

No worries, sounds like you have your hands full right now.

Thanks for coming in and answer our questions, Susan.

[D.G.]

Here's a book I'm sure all of you would want to read!



It has setting, name and possibly plot AND cover.

I'm SURE all those Kardashians are fighting some kind of psychosis and I think that Kris Jenner qualifies as a monster. ;)

[Mary X]

OK does this qualify for plot:

Heroine has to go and steal a coin from a dragon (hero=shapeshifter) to appease bad guys (Dark-Fae)of book. Does that count as a quest?

[Midu]

would work? all the stories would be about monsters?

[Jennifer H]

I know this is not listed but would "gold lips" on the cover work since that fairy-like girl in the video has gold lips?

An would extreme paranoia of phobias be a psychosis?

[KarenF]

It's not on the cheat sheet but I thought I'd ask. For plot, what about someone who talks to ghosts/the dead?

I've never heard the song (and I'm at work so no video for me just now) but the lyrics made me think of that.

[Jennifer H]

Some more questions:
Would a king searching for his future queen be a quest?

Would vicious killer pixies be monsters?

LOL you made me snort my hot chocolate!

[Lauren]

Would skeletons on the cover count as bodies?

[Lina]

Hi ladies, I spent half an hour late last night trying to get onto Goodreads before giving up and going to bed. I'm going back now through this thread and answering any outstanding questions.

[Elishia]

Haha DG you almost made me choke.

[Lina]

LITTLE was supposed to be included in the title words. Sorry. Anyone who has that in the title can claim a point.

Yes for the series-title connection. I'm not sure about the name.

Yes I'd say the journey Pia and Dragos take to get home would be a quest as well.

Yes to both

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Oops, out of time again. I'll be back with more answers or now that CaroB is up, she might be able to get to some :)

[Midu]

[Jennifer H]

Just checking one more time about Post 919

So, I can start reading :)

[Lina]

Anthologies aren't allowed, sorry Midu.

Not sure about the video connection, I'll let CaroB answer that part, but yes to the paranoia/phobia

[Lina]

Jeniffer, sorry to be a pain, but I'm on my phone and don't have post numbers, can you repeat the question please?

[Lina]

Ah, thanks Susan, I know which question it is now. Gold lips won't count for a cover point. It want a significant party of the video or lyrics, but rather just what she looked liked.

Lauren, yes, I will take skeletons for bodies on the cover AS LONG AS it is the whole skeleton and not just random bone parts.

[Lina]

Karen F: I've been listening to the song quite a bit in the last couple of days, I completely agree with your take. I would take someone who talks to the dead/ghosts for a plot connection. Just link to this post in your review. Great thinking outside the square!!

[Dami]

I was wondering what's considered the 'source of truth' for publication date.

I'm considering reading but Goodreads has no publication date listed. The Kindle store shows it as published in 2012 but the ebook file itself shows copyright as 2011.

It's no drama if it's easier for me to avoid this one (due to conflicting info) as I've got a fallback or two. Just that this one sounded more interesting.

[Lauren]

Thanks CaroB, it is definitely whole skeletons.

How about the main character becoming undead? Would that work for plot. She is also on a quest involving those who made her undead.

[Jennifer H]

If your book has all 3 plots can you claim 9 points or can you only claim 1 plot for 3 points?

Where there isn't a pub date on Goodreads, I would go with the Amazon one. Sorry hun.

Keep the questions coming Jennifer, we're here to help. You can claim more than one link category, eg Plot + Cover + Setting etc, but you can only claim once for each category. The maximum number of points this would give you is 21 for song links.

Judy wrote: "I think my question may have been overlooked - Would an investigator trying to find a criminal count as a quest for plot points? Thanks!"

So sorry Judy! That's a tough one... I would say not, but... if it's a serial killer that the investogator has been chasing for years, making it a bit of a life mission, then I guess it could apply. If this is a one case scenario, I don't think that classifies as a quest.

[Lina]

Lauren wrote: "Thanks CaroB, it is definitely whole skeletons.

I would take the quest, if she's making it her life mission... but not too sure on the undead... could it count as a humans vs monsters plot point? You only need one plot link, after all.

No probs at all. I'll just have to read two books tonight as this one caught my interest (what a hardship!)

[Mary X]

Does Harrison with 1 "s" count for name?

[Lina]

Mary, no, it has to be the scandinavian spelling so "-SSON" would give you the name point.

LOL, Wish I could do that!

[Mary X]

Damn. OK.

[Jennifer H]

I'm sorry to bother once again but I still haven't got an answer to this one last question...

I know this is not listed but would "gold lips" on the cover work since that fairy-like girl in the video has gold lips?

[Mary X]

I saw that answered as a no earlier.

eta: post 938.

Sorry Jennifer, "gold lips" won't count.

[Jennifer H]

Sorry, I don't know how I managed to miss that post I've checked and rechecked the list several times.

It happens to me all the time. :)

[Mary X]

Would a spaceship count as a ship and a voyage? And for cover points for the ship being on the cover?
