[Nancy]

Thank you!

[Susan A]

Thanks Jenne!

On the question of audiobooks, with the author initials part of the challenge, do/can we count the narrator's initials? Or just the writer themselves? I have gotten into audios this year and have so far not counted any of them.

[Jenne]

Only the author.

Y'all are welcome!

That's what I thought, but wanted to clarify. Thanks! :)

[Lauren]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Jenne!

Our task is the hero being tortured/scarred. Im currently reading the last book in a trilogy and the main character was tortured in the previous books and in her childhood she was also tortured and scarred. Does it still count as the hero having been tortured and scarred in the past even if the events didnt happen in that particular book but its the same character?

Jenne~Will this book called work as fairy tale?

[Jenne]

Ebony if she talks about it still or it impacts her currently then yeah.

and it's Free on amazon kindle

[Ebb]

Thanks Jenne :)

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Thank you Jenne! It's also free on Barnes & Noble.

[Ora]

I just went to B&N and all of Cameron Jace's books are free right now. It looks like all of them are fairy tale themed.

[Ora]

Jenne, for someone of great privilege, I know you already said celebrity would work. How about celebrity like status or sports star?

[Jenne]

They would work.

[~Melissa~]

Jenne - question about lost/kidnapped. How long does the person have to be gone. Haven't finished the book but a toddler was lost for approx half hour (view spoiler)[ actually appears that it got taken right off the Mother's lap by Fae but I'm not sure yet - have to read more (hide spoiler)]

[Jenne]

That'll work…there doesn't need to be a set time or anything. Just so long as it happens or happened already and the characters talk about it.

Cool - thanks!!

[Jenne]

Mini Challenge #6 is up

[Shannon]

If anyone's asked this I can't find it so "do one word authors count for author's initials?" Like Pelaam?

[Jenne]

No they don't :(

[Cait S]

Just wanted to double check this. Poetry books of any kind and length are not usable, is that right? So couldn't be used even though it obviously condenses to more than the 150 minimum?

[Jenne]

That's right. It doesn't sound like a poetry book from the blurb lol…I'd of never realized it was without it being shelved as such.

[Cait S]

Agreed. I actually had no idea that it was until I checked it out from the library today. Dumb poetry genre tagging *kicks dirt*

[Grace]

Is okay for Snow White's Assassin task . (view spoiler)[She is hunted by a mob boss and hitmen are sent, someone is killed and the boss tries to kill her (hide spoiler)]

[Jenne]

Yeah that would work :)

[Grace]

Thanks Jenne I am hoping the next one works too, from the blurb she is a witness t a murder and is being hunted. Haven't read it yet.

[Jenne]

Ok peeps..

Task 4 is up
and
Mini Challenge #7 is up

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Would this work for team name ?

[Jenne]

Yep and it's really good =]

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Thank you!

[Jenne]

Don't forget everyone for Task 4:

Any retelling will also fit the task for any team.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Will this work for court ?

[Jenne]

Yep :)

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Thank you!

[Ora]

for princess, does the character have to be a real princess in the story or will figuratively work

[Jenne]

Gotta be the real deal :)

[Ora]

For student, does it have to be a traditional student? Would an apprentice to an artist work?

[Jenne]

Yes it would =]

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

Will this work for historical ?

[LaurLa]

Jenne - will this work for the current mini as students? There are a couple of scenes that are flashbacks of the MCs in highschool when they were sweethearts.

[Jenne]

Yep :)

[Lauren]

Jenne, would this one be classified as mystery even though it has no shelves. The blurb says there are murders. Thanks.

[Emma (M)]

Jenne, I have just finished which as you can see was written by Dean Koontz, however it was originally published under his pseaudynom Owen West, which GR lists as the author when you click onto the book page. Can I claim the points for author initials OW?

[Jenne]

Lauren it should be, looks like the author is a mystery writer.

Emma you're good to go with OW :)

[Lauren]

Thanks Jenne :0)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I apparently don't know how to rhyme. I guess in rap music, you just make it fit. I need more time for this new minichallenge

[Jenne]

Lol! It is a bit tougher than the previous one.
