I couldn't find anything published in 1986. I'm hoping to find something that takes place on a road

[D.G.]

There's On the Jellicoe Road, if you read YA (I have it on my TBR and people say great things about it.)

[D.G.]

Ride with Me is another one (this one I read already and it's cute.)

Also, maybe we can read for that a romance where the couple is on the run (lots of romantic suspense have that plot.)

Hahaha it was what was playing on the radio when I read CaroB's post asking for my song LOL I was thinking cowboys when I typed it ;)

[D.G.]

LOL, Susan! Don't have anything against the song in particular or your taste! I just didn't easily find a book that fit for option 6, which is the one I'll TRY to go for.

Although if we can use books 'on the road' for this category, then I should be good to go. I must have something in my TBR that's a road romance. :)

"Being on road " ,does it count as a place or the plot?

The mods would have to decide on that but to me it could be both.

[Lina]

Love how you guys are working through the options!

I just want to be prepared , the timing of the song is really bad for me ,I know if I don't have my options ready I won't be able to look for it on the weekend or Friday night !

[Lina]

[ShoSho , Moderator]

[D.G.]

Almost there! When I wake up tomorrow the first thing I'll do is check the thread, LOL! I have books picked for everything but Susan's song (I'm jinxing myself that's the one that I'll pop up!)

[Mary X]

I have a book picked for every song.

[Gisela, Moderator]

It's kinda funny you gals are counting down the hours! LOL!

[Melissa]

ugh I have no clue what I am going to read

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

It is going to be about 3 am here when it gets posted, not sure why I am counting down. It's not like I'll start reading as soon as it is posted.

[Lina]

D.G. I don't want Susan's choice to be picked either so it probably will :-(.

Hahaha think some people are a bit to eager.

No I just thought if I say it's time Mr Elf will think that it's time and will post the song:D

[Lina]

Just got back from putting the kids to bed. Anything?

[Lina]

It's up it's up it's up it's up!!!

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

You beat me to it, Miss CaroB.

THE FIRST SONG IS NOW PLAYING

[Lina]

Woohoo!

[Lauren]

Couple of quick questions:
1. If my book fits the shelf (1 point), the cover matches the lyrics (3 points) and was published in 2012 (6 points) does that mean I have a total of 10 points or does the setting take precedence which means I have 6 points?

2. There is a guy with a gun on the cover - would that link to battle and/or the word rifle in the song?

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Good questions Lauren.

For your first question, you would have a total of 10 individual points.

A gun on the cover would link with the lyrics, so it would be 2 points. If there was an obvious scar or a battle scene on the cover, that would link to name for 5 points.

I hope this has helped to answer your questions.

[Lauren]

Thanks so much Mr. Elf. Very helpful :0)

[S]

Yay!

[Vi]

Ooh, I didn't know we could hit different categories at the same time. Off to see what I can read.

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Yep, you sure can. And don't forget that the moderators Bouncers will be doing the shuffle through the threads to make sure that the links are legitimate.

[Carrie]

Okay, I'm here, I'm awake, I got my coffee, time to click on that now playing link to see the song.

[Vi]

I'm trying to check how many points I can get off . It's published in 2012 (6), takes place during WWII (3) leading to a total of 9. Can the fighter plane in the cover reference a battle/war? (I know it's reaching but.)

And a major question that I'm just realizing - the book is an ebook version only. Amazon.com is estimating it at 318 pages. Can I go ahead with the book?

[Vi]

And because I really want to continue with the Codex Alera series (and because I want a backup in case the above fails), I'm trying to fit into this week's song. Can I use the following:

Based on Mr. Elf's post above, the cover has a battle scene which can link to name for 5 points
Plot - War is an ongoing theme in this series - so 3 points
Cover - Fire in the cover can possibly link to the word fires in the lyrics, so 2 points.

Leading to a total of 10 points. Will this pass muster?

[Melissa]

When it comes to matching the author's name if we went with the name Sebastian is that ok or does it have to be Guy Sebastian?

[Lina]

You would get 9 points for that, the plane wouldn't count as a battle or war item and it isn't specifically mentioned in the lyrics. When I clicked on the book link, the kindle and ebook versions both state 300 pages, so no problem there.

It could be Guy or Sebastian, either will work.
