Didn't think I would either but just found Atari in the book I am reading now. And it is a book that just came out last year. It doesn't have a specific model, but from the context, it implies an old version.

[Paris]

Awesome TC. What book is it?

[Marla]

I foresee a run on whatever book it is :D

[Paris]

lol Marla I was thinking the same thing.

[VNerdbooks]

Sorry Paris another question for you lol
I read most of my books on audio so i can't reference the page number, is there anything else that I can do, or shall i just put the text?

Put the text and if possible the chapter.

[VNerdbooks]

Ok will do thanks

[Paris]

One of these times I'll remember to put that in the rules Vicci. Someone asks every time, but I never remember to put that in. Maybe I'll do it now. That should help. lol

[VNerdbooks]

Haha I didn't think until I'd found a couple and then thought...hang on a minute lol.

They were comparing it to a Wii.

[Paris]

Thanks! I've heard that book is good too, but I tried a sample and wasn't sure. But I had the same reaction to and when I actually read the whole thing, I loved it.

I also use a lot of audio books, but I use Amazon's "look inside" feature to get a page number (usually of the hardcover edition, but sometimes paperback) to reference.

Mickey Mouse would work as long as its reference to the cartoon (movie or Tv) and not just the character at like Disneyland or something.

[Elishia]

Paris did you see my questions above?
Also would Counselor work for Therapist?

[JenniferJ]

Can we use umbrella for Parasol?

[Paris]

Sorry Elishia, I missed your first question when I was on my Kindle...dang small screen.

I'll accept orange juice and hunting cabin.

For counselor it would depend on the context. If it's like a school guidance counselor, not so much cause you don't really talk to them the way you do a therapist. Like a counselor at a shelter or something like an AA meeting or another type of meeting group, I'll take that.

Jennifer, I'll accept umbrella for parasol.

Ok thanks.

[Elishia]

Paris would you take handheld video game if the book is set in 1986? It doesn't specify a brand.

[Book Concierge]

Question: Bonus # 1 Beautician

Would "manicurist" or "aestetician" be acceptable?
How about "hair stylist"?

[Paris]

Elishia wrote: "Paris would you take handheld video game if the book is set in 1986? It doesn't specify a brand."

So as long as it's a handheld video game console and not something like one of those weird handheld poker games that really aren't much of anything,I would accept that.

Book Concierge wrote: "Question: Bonus # 1 Beautician

Those all would work.

Thanks for all the questions.

[Paris]

Sharon wrote: "for horror movie - can a book title work? such as The Silence of the Lambs or a reference to a type of horror movie such as "hammers house of horrors movie" or does it need to be an..."

It could be a reference to a horror movie or just the words horror movie, so what you've posted would work.

[VNerdbooks]

Paris would strict parents count as Overbearing Mom or does it have to be the mother?

[Paris]

Vicci Audio Nerd wrote: "Paris would strict parents count as Overbearing Mom or does it have to be the mother?"

That would work as long as it says parents and the parents in question aren't two men.

[VNerdbooks]

Thanks Paris x

[VNerdbooks]

Another one sorry lol.
Can it be from a novella or does it have to be a certain amount of pages?

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Would this work for flat tire?

"blowing out tires on three civilian cars"

[Paris]

Vicci, any length book is fine for this.

TC, that'll work for flat tires.

[Book Concierge]

Question re: "log cabin"

The book mentions a "log fort" and later describes it as "remains of two walls and seven or eight log buildings" Another page later they talk about "taking axes to the wall of a cabin and chopping it into firewood. Then they handed out the logs...."

So does this count?

[Book Concierge]

Question: "wheelchair"

The word isn't used, because in the mid 19th century the term isn't in use. But the book described "attached wheels to the bottom of a chair" (the character is building this for a character who had a leg amputated

[VNerdbooks]

**Stands with hands on her hips**
PARIS I want a word with you !!!!!

So there was nothing on TV so i thought to myself hmmm I shall watch a bit of netflix, hmm whatever shall I watch ??
I know........Paris told me about The Walking Dead, I shall try it again.
It is now just past midnight and I am halfway though episode 5 lol.


Just 1 more episode and I'm going to bed, promise ;•D

[Book Concierge]

QUESTION: hockey puck

The puck isn't mention but they do talk about going "to play hockey" ...

would this count?

[Paris]

Okay Bookie, I'll say yes for all of them...as long as the hockey that is being played is ice hockey and not field hockey or roller hockey.

[Paris]
