Scripts Tower (Planning)

[Dee]

can I reserve S for name in the title - i'm reading The Life of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd: Containing His Letters from Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas Island right now - its a bio of his life post Lincoln assassination written by his daughter (assuming this meets the name requirements)

I would say it does, Dee, as he is the main character, but could you have picked a longer title, lol. BTW - it looks interesting. How was it?

[Dee]

Only a couple of chapters in - one long very dry one that is his lawyers speech on why he was not guilty - I've driven past the turn off for the house every day for 3 years but not growing up in the us didn't know the significance

[Amy]

I'd like to reserve L in Title for Locomotion

Also have a question for name in title. I have to read a picture book for the Nellie Bly challenge. Would Harold and the Purple Crayon qualify for name in title "H" or is the book too short?

Well, in the battle plan thread under Scripts Tower, it says no page limitations/editions. I would take that to mean that picture books count, but I would send this question to Tien for the final blessing. :)

[Susan]

I finished Y for name in title. May I please reserve author's first name D?

[Sam]

Can I reserve I in last name since my next read covers this, thanks :-)

[LynnB]

I'm reading a book that covers Z for Author's First Name. Can I reserve this, please.

[Coralie]

I would like to reserve last name V for Vernor Vinge, thank you.

Coralie, I'm interested what of VV's you're planning to read. I have Rainbow's End on my list for sometime.

[Dee]

although, Tien - quick question - with the authors, if they are a co-author - does it work as long as their name is on the cover?

[Amy]

Another question...would Harold and the Purple Crayon work for character name H? I know it is a picture book and quite short, but I have to read it for Nellie Bly and wondered if it would work here too.

I am rereading (I have read and enjoyed all of his) A Deepness in the Sky which is very different from Rainbows End

[Amanda]

Hey, I know I didn't reserve it, but I just finished Passing by Nella Larsen, and I'd like to apply it to Author Last Name L. I need to report this on the report thread, too, right? After I know for sure that I didn't make some silly mistake and the slot is already taken?

[D.G.]

Jane - If you don't see it reserved here and nobody has shot at the block, you can definitely use it. You must post it in the Report thread though. :)

[Tien]

Dee wrote: "although, Tien - quick question - with the authors, if they are a co-author - does it work as long as their name is on the cover?"

Co-authors are fine -so long as they both work on the same story. I think that's what co-authors mean anyway but just to make it clear :)

Exactly, Jane. And it is open, so I went ahead and reserved it for you. :)

Yup, these two ladies were co-authors for the first 4 or 5 books in a series.

In my quest to get my IOU, I'll reserve U last name then, unless Dee wants it (as she remember that author and I didn't!)

Lynn - I think I have my maximum number of reserves so you may unreserve S "Last Name' and move my reservation to U.

[Coralie]

I am going to have to unreserve my name in title A as Le Morte d'Arthur, Vol 2 has much less than 90% Arthur.

Moved you to U for now, D.G.

Sorry to hear that, Corolie. But I went ahead and removed you.

Sorry, I missed your Q (thanks, Lyn, for pointing it out!). On the Battle Plan (as Lyn mentioned), I did specify no page limits for this Tower - so that's fine :)

[Sam]

Can I reserve J under author's surname please :-) (can you tell where I am for my alphabet challenge?)

[Susan]

Thanks. I'll add that to my TBR list.

[Dee]

I have an A for a persons name in a book I have in progress right now - Aaron Bradley: Closet Detective

[Dee]

I got last name J - Gone Country - Lorelei James

OK, we have a bit of an issue here. Sam posted to reserve last name J yesterday (see post 123) and you posted in the reporting thread, but I think her post predates yours. I wasn't here yesterday, so I did not get the reservation posted. How do you all want to handle this?

Sam - Can your book be used for something else?

[Dee]

i didn't look at the posts, just at the main tracker - I can't use mine anywhere else - its an ebook only, so can't use page count; doesn't fit any shelves; and the authors others were all used up - but if sam wants it i'll just not use it

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Sorry, Dee, I'm hoping that Sam can use hers somewhere else. :)

[Dee]

its ok - I can not use it - I saw she had I reserved and just didn't look any further

[Tien]

oh, dear... I didn't see this either...

Let's see what Sam says...

[Sam]

Not to worry Dee, you can use it mine will fit for the pages tower :-)

[Amy]

Just finished one of my reserved books, so please set aside character in title "H" for Harold and the Purple Crayon since Tien has given me the go-ahead.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I might have a potential L in title, but I need to see what role she plays - Franklin and Lucy - I am starting it tomorrow morning

[Vi]

I have yet to throw Amy and Roger's Epic Detour. I can use it for character name in title, letter R.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Dee wrote: "I might have a potential L in title, but I need to see what role she plays - Franklin and Lucy - I am starting it tomorrow morning"

Thanks Dee, Do you want me to go ahead and reserve it, or wait until you get into it a bit?

Vi wrote: "I have yet to throw Amy and Roger's Epic Detour. I can use it for character name in title, letter R."

Gotcha, VI.

[Dee]

Lemme see tomorrow and I'll let you know - its an audiobook

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Okey Dokey.

[Vi]

Thanks, Lyn!

I have a question - character in title, letter E is not mentioned as used/reserved in post #5 but you have not mentioned it as free in the post above. If it is free, could you reserve it for me? I'm reading Ella Enchanted which I can throw after recovery.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Yep, it was open. I totally missed that one. SO now I have put you on the list as having reserved it.

Thanks Sam."

No problem Lyn :-)

[Dee]

Lyn - i'm thinking right now that my L name won't work - because Lucy hasn't been introduced yet and i'm about an hour in...

[Susan]

Lyn M wrote: "Just an update - Here is what is still available at this point: "

Thanks for the summary, Lyn. It helps to look at a shorter list.

But a couple questions: I think R for name in title is gone. And, unless I missed a later message. D.G. asked (in message 46) to be removed from Q for name in title.

[Amy]

I've got a book for author's last name S: The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi.

[D.G.]

Susan wrote: "And, unless I missed a later message. D.G. asked (in message 46) to be removed from Q for name in title. "

I asked to be removed when we had to use a name that we would call a kid (I definitely wouldn't call my child Quijote) but as that isn't the criteria anymore, it's fine to keep me there.

Thanks Susan. If you are talking about my post in the very beginning for R, I deleted that as I was not going to get to the book I had listed for a while. Then Vi asked for R in post #137, which was after I had posted the list, so it wasn't reflected.
As for Q, the last impression I had gotten from D.G. was to leave her after the rules had been changed.

OK, Dee. Let me know if you change your mind, but it doesn't sound like it will work.
