50.1 - MEGSCL's Task: Scattergories

[Shelby]

I have a slightly weird question for job/occupation...would Laird work for L? Yes usually it's an inherited title, but a Laird is still responsible for working for his people and is paid in a tithed/taxed manner by those who work his land. His income generally comes from the prosperity of the land he is in charge of.

Yes, a bit of a strange job, but I will allow it.

Actually, I think I just forgot to respond - can't blame goodreads this time :D
Tom works as a first name for that one.

[Midu]

Started with L,T,R. Went with L, please confirm if these work:

Name

Place
London

Animal
Lamb

i think the city and name have to appear in the title - so lamb would work but not the other two from previous examples

[Chris]

Will you accept "bookman" as an occupation - generally defined as someone who deals in books. There are a number of titles that include it, including John Dunning's Cliff Janeway series where Janeway deals in books and "Bookman" appears in all the titles, although I'm particularly interested a different book, The Bookman’s Tale.
Thanks.

Okay, so the heroine in is Layla while is from the series called Darkest London. Would these work?

[Wanda]

If I use the letter "S", would South Africa meet the requirement of place?

[Wanda]

My three spins were S,M, and G


Name-Guinevere: The Legend in Autumn
Colour-Spartan Gold
Occupation-The Guardians

I checked with an attorney(my sone) and he told me that there are estate guardians who earn income for their services.

Would three books be acceptable?

Sorry, no. Lamb works, but the other two do not have the word in the book title.

For this book yes, it is clear that it refers to his job

No sorry, the L word must be found in the book's title, e.g. Layla and Rivers of London

[Meg]

yes, if "South Africa" is in the title

I'm not sure. I accept that guardian can be a job, but is that what is referred to by the Guardians in this novel? It's not clear

I've read the book - Guardian refers to a nonprofit innocence project - they're not acting as guardians of anyone.

[Midu]

then?

[Bucket]

Rolled P, M, Y and going with M, I think. Just wanted to verify if "Military" works for occupation.

Animal: Saint Monkey
Food: The House on Mango Street
Occupation: The Military Philosophers

The guardians are a group of lawyers who take cases of those that they feel are innocent and wronged in the legal system.

You got it!

That works
Edit: sorry, no, military doesn't work. That was an error!

Sorry, sounds like guardian is the name of the group, not a reference to their occupation exactly. Can't approve that one

Thank you!

[EShay]

Will The United States of Paranoia: A Conspiracy Theory work for a place that starts with U?

[Meg]

Yes I'll accept that
U is a tough letter - good luck!

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

I'm using the letter W and wanted to check on the use of "water" for the food/drink category. Does the title have to contain something like "a drink of water" or "a glass of water" or would something like We Live in Water or Water Witch work?

And, if it doesn't work for drink, would Water Witch work for occupation?

Thanks!

I'm happy with both Water and Witch

[Pia]

I got lucky, I think...
I got S, K & T

For S:
Name: The Life and Death of Sophie Stark
Place: Love Over Scotland
Food: The Book of Salt
Color: The Silver Linings Playbook

For T:
Place: Excursion to Tindari
Occupation: Dear Thief or The Piano Teacher
Name: Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage or Three Lives of Tomomi Ishikawa

[Meg]

They all look good Pia. I got S too - it's a good one!

Sorry no, the colour word has to stand alone

[Emurphy]

Sorry, it has to be a first name, not a surname

[Kim]

One of the letters I got is A.

This might be a stretch, but would The Alice Network work for first name? The name Alice is a code name for one of the characters.

Thank you.
