Karen or Pixie I have a question. for the bingo task of Read a book where the MC has more than one child, would Peter Pan work? Wendy and her brothers are on the Main Cover but also he collects children and takes care of them.

[[deleted user]]

Can I check that there are no problems using this book?

Midnight Bites

It appears to be an audiobook only so no page numbers. However, it is a reading of 2 novellas in the series:

Howling For You - 88 pages
Lucky Break - 112 pages

[Dima]

I have a question about using books in languages other than English. Can I and how do I use them?

Yes it is ok, The audio is 5 hours and usually 100 pages is about 3 hours :)

Just use the other language edition you are reading on your goodreads shelf

I'm not sure. I've left a message for Pixie seeing it was her challenge

[Andrea]

in the epilogue of my book , the character has a bunch of kids, would that count for MC has more than 1 kid?

NP, I was just wondering because Wendy is like a mother to all the Lost boys but she is still a preteen herself.

Little fact about Peter Pan, in the original story he is really about the age of 5 to 7 years old. Odd to think of him so young, eh.

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Ok, So for the MC has kids, the MC needs to be the parent, so Peter Pan is a no

Andrea - if the MC is the parent of those kids then yes

Yes Peter Pan is an interesting one. I found it interesting to read with the Disney movie playing in my head ;)

[RachelvlehcaR]

Ok thanks.

How do you "x" out a square on the bingo chart? Also, how do you copy the bingo chart?

Hi Nanci,

There is a "bingo" tab on your spreadsheet to track the books for the squares. Underneath that table is a second table where you claim the lines, so you don't need to try and copy the bingo chart :)

[Snowtulip]

Hi, would this count for yellow cover



Thanks!

Yes, I'm using those two tables and that's great, but I noticed some teams are also putting an x on the actual squares on the bingo chart as they complete a square. This is an easy way to glance at the chart as a post on your team thread and see what squares are still open. I just don't know how to make the "x".

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

They have probably saved the image and are using an image editing software I would guess

[Teasha]

Question -- Does the place for the UNO card in the book we read have to be a real place such as Ohio or if its a fiction book that has a made up place would that be acceptable?

For example in the book I am reading now it takes place in the land of fairies called - Prythian. -- Would that work for a skip or must it be somewhere on a real map.

I was avoiding using places as I was unsure and did not know where to ask it. Thanks!

Just making sure - We are still ok to start books in April as long as they are finished after the countdown in May, correct? Just wanted to make sure we didn't change that. :)

It doesn't have to be a real place - just the place that is named in the book as the setting

yes ;)

I've read all the comments in this thread and couldn't find the answer to this.

My question is about omnibus/box set editions. Do they count as 1 book or if it's 3 book in the one box set, does that count as 3 book?

Thanks

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Just counts as shelved so one book unless the person shelves the seperate books on their shelf

[Sarah]

Hey, I find this challenge really interesting, and although I read everything I didn't completely understand how it goes... Does everyone have to do everything in the month, or does everyone do one of the things? (Is that clear?) Are there scores?
Thanks in advance for an answer!

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Hi Sarah - yes we read as teams so you will see thee are team threads set up and everyone has there own cards for the month that, as a team, they read for and get points. We are just in our last month now

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

If we have a questionable cover and labs.tineye.com says it is a certain color, do you want us to check with you anyway or go with TinEye?

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

if that site says it is ok, then go for it

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Okie doke.

[Annika]

Haha, right. I'm so our of the loop of ESC, it was only a couple of days ago I realised the competition was going to be held here.... :o

Thanks a lot Karen!
I had seen that it was the last month, so maybe another time!

[Laura]

I know this is a duplicate question, but I can't find the answer right now, so I apologize in advance.

If you are reading a book in a language other than English, you use the names of characters, places, titles, etc. in that language, not the English translation, right? For example, if you were reading a book in Spanish, the character name might be Guillermo, so it would count as a G, not W for William (the English name). And obviously you need to shelve the correct edition.

That's right :)

[Laura]

Thank you!!

[Jessica]

I might just be overlooking the answer to this somewhere, but if the book is a prequel and is listed as 3.5 in the series, does it still count for a 3 card? Or can I count it for a 4 card? See: Fairest

I don't think it counts as a number in a series

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Yep, sorry only the whole numbers count for that

[Ashley]

Can countries be used as a place or does it need to be more specific?

[Karen ⊰✿, Avaricious Reader]

Country is ok

[Ashley]

Thanks!
