ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I have created a new thread for Scavenger Hunt Rose books!!

From this point forward, please post your Scavenger Hunt Rose books in THIS THREAD.

Scavenger Hunt Rose claims made in the Q&A thread will no longer be addressed and will not place a claim on the book.

Super Helpful!

Feedback - For the next te challenge...
It would also be super helpful to have a separate thread for post & a separate thread for Q&A & a separate thread for announcements/Task Calls.

We will consider that for sure! I'm not 100% sure everyone is even following this thread, so adding another is concerning, but I see your point. Adding the different roses expanded things even more than expected! 😲

I personally like the separate threads Mama suggested :)

Hi PepperP0t - I need you to REPOST in the Scavenger Hunt thread. Your qualification for 'Challenge' is not acceptable - I need to know how you know that and it needs to be a way I can verify. In the post I made with the qualifications for this week, what is allowed for this is:

"To qualify as set in Europe, it must be set in a location on this List of States/Territories of Europe. Use the GR main book page, precis, tags or lists to verify."

Your book is tagged 'historical-romance-england' on page 2 - https://www.goodreads.com/work/shelve...

Once you add that link - you are good! 😊

The qualification for 'Calculus' doesn't qualify - I specifically said 'smartypants' wouldn't cut it and 'brain candy' in no way implies geek or nerd.

Your qualification for 'Challenge' is not acceptable - it was excluded prior to the date beginning. Please see this message for what is allowed.

If you find another qualification, please REPOST in the Scavenger Hunt Rose thread.

I think it’s a great idea to have the Rose books in a different thread.

I obediently followed this thread as advised so when the announcement was made each week I’d get it - but all the Rose posts where a bit overwhelming.

Now it’s just questions and announcements it will be easier to track what’s happening - yaaay Mods!

I'm sorry. When we were searching books to read, we missed the post on this. Please disregard all three of the books that I posted for scavenger rose. They all fall under that category. Again, I'm sorry.

For C is for Camouflage, would a list of heroes changed by war fit? Or do the lists only qualify by using the accepted terms?

Duplicate post.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Please note, I am adding 'Delta Force' to the acceptable qualifications for 'Camouflage'. Even though I can easily see a previously acceptable qualification as MPG, it keeps being used. This is just easier for everyone.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Amanda wrote: "For C is for Camouflage, would a list of heroes changed by war fit? Or do the lists only qualify by using the accepted terms?

Thanks, MountainKat!"

Without seeing specifically what you mean, I am going to say no, those won't qualify. I would need to see one of the terms listed in the title, precis, tag or lists.

In keeping the idea of saving us all some steps... If you have NOT been asked to repost for a correction in a particular thread, you are free to edit your original post. For example Karen asks in the team thread, but I haven't asked for it in the Scavenger Hunt thread - it simply means I haven't gotten to your post yet and editing is acceptable. The same is true in reverse, if asked to repost in the Scavenger Hunt thread, but not yet in the team thread. It is also acceptable to edit if you notice an error on your own before either of us comments on your post.

The whole reason behind reposting is to save us some time, going back through the thread to see if a post has been edited, especially without knowing if it had been, was incredibly time consuming! So, having new posts with the corrections is very helpful and appreciated, but not necessary if we haven't asked for the correction yet. 😉

[Mamacita aka MawMaw]

To make sure I understand...
So we only post on our team thread & Scavenger Thread for a Scavenger Rose Book? What about if we read a book that is not for a SR?

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Mamacita wants a Bedtime Story wrote: "To make sure I understand...

You are correct - Scavenger Hunt Rose books are to be posted in your team thread and the Scavenger Hunt thread. If your book is for the called date task only, then post in your team thread. 😊

[Sandra]

Would ~ job-scientist-intellectual count for geek/nerd? Or someone shelved geektopia challenge?

The heroine is a nerd/intellectual and there are no scientists in the book as far as I remember.

[Lauren]

Question for the Scavenger Hunt book for H -

Can one edition have the characters horizontal and another edition have the house?

[[deleted user]]

Would you consider the woman on this cover to be "horizontal or reclining" since she has her legs out horizontal and is somewhat reclining against him?

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Susan (susayq ~) wrote: "I'm in planning mode LOL For H is for Home - Read a book with a building that could be a home on the cover. can we use an interior scene from a home or does it have to be the house/building façade?"

Finally getting back to this - sorry for the wait!

No, the task says the book needs to have a building that could be a home on the cover - an interior scene is not a building.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Sandra wrote: "Would ~ job-scientist-intellectual count for geek/nerd? Or someone shelved geektopia challenge?

No, we need the actual words listed in this message. As for 'geektopia challenge', I would say that in context that doesn't qualify - to me that is a book someone used for that challenge.

[Sandra]

OK thanks MKat :)

Lauren wrote: "Question for the Scavenger Hunt book for H -

I am working on a list of qualifications for the next date like I did for the current one. I don't want to say one way or the other in case it changes as I work through all the qualifications.

Cyndee wrote: "Would you consider the woman on this cover to be "horizontal or reclining" since she has her legs out horizontal and is somewhat reclining against him?

"

This one I can answer - she is not reclined.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Another chance for you to add your input!!

Looking for a list of specific words to qualify 'H is for Handcuff'. Currently we have - law enforcement, police, cop, sheriff, deputy, men in blue, FBI.

If you have any suggestions, please share them here.

A final list of qualifications for all the Date 4 - H tasks will be posted tomorrow.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Also, FYI, the final rose counts will be delayed for Date 3.

I am gone all day Saturday for my DIL's baby shower! ❤️👶🏻❤️

We will not be able to get a final tally done Friday night, so it will hopefully be done by Sunday. Karen will be calling the new Date Task and available to confirm the Speed Dating Rose if necessary.

How about:
Officer of the law
Constable
Bluecoat
Copper
Patrolman
SWAT
Fed/s
Narc
Policeman
Policewoman
Police Force
Detective
Lawman

[Kristen]

another vote for undercover - purely because the book i want to read says he's undercover hunting a double agent so i figure some sort of law enforcement but can't be sure as it's not out yet!
