ok let's begin

[Kawaii]

Is anyone having a hard time figuring out - AUTHOR!AUTHOR!
400 Points: Two Australian sisters who both write books for Harlequin/Mills and Boon. One of which used to write books with her husband until his death. You can choose a book by one of the sisters for the challenge.? I've only been able to come up with Emma Darcy who wrote with her husband until he died, but she doesn't have a sister does she?

Also, does: "500 Points: A person who was born poor or otherwise disadvantaged, but who achieved great economic success thanks to their own hard work and ingenuity rather than to any inherited fortune, family connections or other privilege." seem to have more than one answer? I came up with waif, entrepreneur, poor, survivor... I don't know which one is better though.

[Pam]

I thought it was the darcy's but lilian does not have any hp but rest of clues fit?
My question does hp extra and hp plus count ?

[Pam]

Lilian Darcy writes super and medical oh I've read a silhouette by her too

[Pam]

I have made a book shelf for this challenge u can look at what I've gathered that i have.

[Pam]

I do not believe i have ever read an hp in japan? If you have one let us know!

[Pam]

Oh how about rags to riches or pauper to penthouse

Is our time up? Do we post all we have?

[Pam]

Oh we have till Halloween yeah. Back to work now so can't read quite as much

Actually the challenge is up to the end of the year, Pam. So you're good! I haven't had much reading time either.

You are not alone, sister!

I'm a goofball. I realized I did set the challenge until October 31st, but I meant to do it for December 31st. I hope that makes more people participate!

[Pam]

I am enjoying this challenge. Right now I am trying to figure out where everything goes into what category and what I have left to read. I was keeping up them as we began the challenge. I got too busy but I keep reading of course. I made a pile for the challenge but forgot where they were suppose to go.

Question Should we post what we have accomplished for example if we have completed the category "What's in a name?" should we list it? Or are we to do them all at once?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Hi Pam, you can do either or both. When you finish up, post your completed list.

[Pam]

Time is running out I have a few categories i need a book for or I need suggestions for.. Librarian or book-keeper. Canada , switching places...

[Pam]

Found the librarian today reading it now

[KatieV]

Regarding spelling out Jeopardy, do articles count? In other words can we ignore first words like a, an, and the when using titles?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Harlequin Presents are my crack!]

Hi Katie, you should ignore A, And and The.

[Pam]

Alright i think i found all books except 3. I dont believe i will finish all of them by deadline. I do plan to read them all even after Jan 1 becuase it took a while to find them all!!

I am looking for characters name starting with y and Canada. I thought i found one in Canada. The characters were from Canada but visiting an Island off England.
This has been fun Thanks

[KatieV]
