LOL! I love this name :-)

As long as it’s tagged disability (which it is) your book qualifies

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

LaurLa wrote: "Hi Ezi - my book is tagged "panic-attacks-ptsd" - would that work?"

As long as you can establish by a tag or the book’s blurb that your book involves a disability, you are good!
So yes, that would work

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

What is the book? What does the blurb or tags say?
I’m not sure panic attacks qualify for disability but let me check into your book

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Will do! I love the name

[Angie Elle]

Just to clarify, when you say two behind, do you mean two books or two weeks? I haven't finished my free stamp read yet, but am almost done my book with my disability tagged book. I'd like to finish it first because I'm loving it, but I want to prioritize correctly so I can keep playing.

[Jenn]

Will this book work for disability A Tragic Kind of Wonderful ? MC is bipolar

Jenn wrote: "Will this book work for disability A Tragic Kind of Wonderful ? MC is bipolar"

Yes, your book is tagged as disability. Book tags

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

yes
(Thanks Plethora)

Two book would be the same as being two weeks behind.

The Free Space book doesn't count against you

Ok. Thank you!

[Agnieszka]

Ezinwanyi, I wanted to clarify before I start a book and find out later it's not correct.
It doesn't have to be a PN Romance, anything tagged Paranormal will work?

(The picture announcing current shelf says paranormal only, on our bingo card it was originally PNR)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

PARANORMAL will suffice

[Agnieszka]

Ezinwanyi wrote: "PARANORMAL will suffice"

Thank you!

[Lexi]

I'm sorry that I confused, but does it need to be all three (FANTASY/UF/PARANORMAL)?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Lexi wrote: "I'm sorry that I confused, but does it need to be all three (FANTASY/UF/PARANORMAL)?"

NO. It just needs to be Fantasy OR Urban Fantasy OR Paranormal,
But not all three.

[LaurLa]

Ezi, I have a team member who forgot to post a selection post before her completion. Does she need to add a selection post or is the completion enough?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

LaurLa wrote: "Ezi, I have a team member who forgot to post a selection post before her completion. Does she need to add a selection post or is the completion enough?"

It's okay for this time. The selection post is to help me and you check the book to make sure it fits the shelf, page number requirements etc. I'd hate to read a book and find out it didn't meet the specified game rules

[Jade aka MrsTosh]

We have one player away on holiday who hasn't checked in yet. She did say the wifi might be a little iffy? Do I just check us in once she has? can we move on to the next shelf? or do we miss a stamp

Thanks

You can just apply for your stamp whenever y’all are ready. You can wait for her. We aren’t close to bingo yet

[Carrie]

Does it have to be tagged both suspense and thriller or can it be either or?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Carrie wrote: "Does it have to be tagged both suspense and thriller or can it be either or?"

Either Thriller or suspense. It doesn't have to be both

[Carrie]

Thank you

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

The New Shelf is up early

My daughter is having her 12th Birthday party AND Sleepover tomorrow. The day after that we will be going to away for July 4th Independence Day.

I will try to catch up on the stamps shortly, but I will be pretty scarce until 7/7. I will try to peak into the threads when I can so please continue to post questions.

[Angie Elle]

Hi Ezi,

I will be away on vacation July 13th-July 20th and will have no internet connection. Or power, as the case may be. If my team is close to BINGO, is it possible to have an alternate for that one week?

[Book Concierge]

Question re: Animal / Pet ...

Will any animal on the cover work?
I have this one out from the library for another challenge (haven't started it yet) ...
(whale on cover)

I don't believe anyone is close to Bingo, can we revisit this question that week? if you guys are indeed close to Bingo, then we can do something next week

Great Question BC!
I am looking for pet/animal in the book, not on the Cover

[☘KathyD☘]

does a bear shifter work for this category?
Wicked Bite

[Mary X]

I was also going to ask if shifters work as long as they change into the actual animal and not like a monster version.

[Book Concierge]

Ezinwanyi wrote: "Great Question BC!

Okay ... they are whaling ... so there are whales in the book as well. Would that count? Or are you looking specifically for a pet-human kind of interaction?

Or another example. Reading a book now takes place in the American West 1800s. Lots of horses in the book (as well as coyotes, snakes, and other wildlife). Would that type of mention count?

[Erica, Quality Control Supervisor]

Does work? There is a dog on the cover by the little girl, and maybe that is her dog??

[Lexi]

Erica wrote: "Does work? There is a dog on the cover by the little girl, and maybe that is her dog??"

Erica, the dog is central to the story and a pet if that helps.

[Erica, Quality Control Supervisor]

Oh good to know - thanks!

Yes. Whales in the book works

Yes this book works

Yes

[Mandy]

So a shifter book would work?

[LaurLa]

Ezi - for this week's shelf qualification - if there is a pet or significant interaction in the story, do we just explain the details or paste the scene from the book? or does it need to be tagged or the precis mentioning the pet/animal interaction?

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Mandy wrote: "So a shifter book would work?"

yes

LaurLa wrote: "Ezi - for this week's shelf qualification - if there is a pet or significant interaction in the story, do we just explain the details or paste the scene from the book? or does it need to be tagged ..."

Hey LaurLa,
For qualification, I would accept a tag; mention in the blurb/precis; a book found in a listopia. I will accept shifter animal.

*I don't want a scene from a book.

Thanks for asking

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Just got back, I will have to go back with the individual threads and stamp thread. Please be patient with me

No worries, Ezi! I hope your daughter had a fabulous birthday! I'm glad that you survived the sleepover.

I feel asleep at 4:35am and they were still up chatting and talking about crushes etc.
I thought to myself, "I'm too old for this!"

But my daughter had a blast. I only have one more birthday sleepover at the end of the month for my son. Thats what happens when you have 3 summer babies

[Angie Elle]

Hey Ezi. Would a RomCom work for Humor or Satire?

My daugher's bday is 11/5 and from ages 4 to about 10, she had a Halloween themed slumber party. It was exhausting but it made her so happy.

Ohhh! I would have loved a Halloween themed sleepover! My birthday is in January. I guess I still could have gone for Halloween.

That's what it is about. Making memories
