MKat - question, if we pick car for our choice this week is this enough to qualify? The whole series is set in the racing world so I know that's a car they're leaning on, but it's not super obvious. I don't want to start reading it only to have it not count.

Count or no?

MK, we got

Can we use the word marriage in the tag?
Eg forced marriage or fated marriage

Yes, that is allowed - I knew when I included engagement that there was something else. Must be in context though.

Yes, as long as it is in context.

If book has 2 or more authors, is it fine if only 1 of them has initials in their name or must all?
