Pass The Parcel Round 12 - WINNER announced

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

That’s correct - It has to be a number 🙂

Sorry - went for a walk and swim!

[~Melissa~]

Just want to make sure this will be accepted Midnight Run

This is in the blurb/precis >> 'he's definitely keeping this one.'

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Yep - the ‘one’ in the précis works 🙂

Excellent! Thanks

If a number is part of a compound word (i.e. "one" in "everyone") can we count it?

[Alexa]

Hello Jane, I was wondering if my book choice needs to be an adult book? We are driving across country this weekend and I have a few children's novels lined up to listen to in the car with my family. The book is still over 100 pages, but it is a children's book (Little House in the Big Woods). I just won't have much time to read other than those kids books.

does this work? Three Nick Nowak Mysteries

No - needs to be on its own.

As long as it meets the page requirement per GR, it is fine.

Ok. Thank you, Jane! :)

Yes - it is published as a single book. From what I can tell, all the books in the series have multiple stories within.

Sorry Hazel - I missed this question.

No - it needs to be a number (ie 'two' in this case)."

I'm guessing that means Eighth wouldn't work either? No ordinal numbers at all - only numerals?

Yes- just numerals. in number form or spelt out.

Hey, Jane. One of my team members is reading an arc that fits this weeks theme but there is no page count currently. She wants to know if she can still read it and just put the page count in her completion post since the book will be out officially by the time she's done?

Jamie,

You mean Envy? There is a Kindle Edition with a page count listed, the edition just weren't combined before.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Please have your player edit both selection & completion posts before the end of this week. That will work 🙂

[Jamie (TheRebelliousReader)]

Awesome! Thanks, ladies. :)

Question for later on in challenge does the book selections need to be read in order of weeks? Such as Week #1 b4 week #2? Or as long as we don't carry over 2 books they can be read 8n any order? Such as week #3 b4 week #2?

I'll jump in here since I'm pretty sure Jane is busy today. They can be read in any order...for example, you could leave your book for week 1 unfinished until late in the challenge if you wanted/needed to, and still finish the books for week 2, 3, etc. As you said, as long as you're not more than 2 weeks behind. Hope this makes sense!

**edit** above

Please post the cover to show how it fits the theme for option 1.

[Logan]

Will this bird/phoenix representation work for animal or does it need to be more realistic?

[Ezi]

Question: does an animal on a blouse worn by the heroine in the cover count?
See the bird on the blouse

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

No to both - I want an obvious realistic animal. Not a stylisised version.

:D

Does that mean that the rabbit on this one won't work?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Yep - happy with that. They look like our horses only cleaner!! LOL.

Lol yes I agree! Thanks Jane!

[Courtney]

Does this look ok? The horse is pretty small, so I can't tell if it looks realistic enough.

That's fine.

[Kristen]

Hi Jane,

does this bird work on this cover?



if not, no big, i have one with a horse.

[Miriam]

I think this counts, but wanted to be sure

Yes - that works.

[Michaele]

Sorry Jane - I thought it'd be best to check - is this book ok? There is a wolf, but it's almost like a shadow? Idk - thanks!

That's fine Michaele :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

By stylised, I mean more non-realistic. Eg the phoenix that I disallowed: and this drawing on a tshirt:

Hope this helps determine your books.

Mine too! I almost chose it but worried about the odd color. Reminds me of a shiny Pokemon variant or something, LOL.
