November 2020 Voting Challenge - Sign Ups!

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

And also, we can now make this thread a place for you not just to ask questions, but make plans too. So if you want you can post your tbrs along with the prompts they follow, here you can do that, to help you plan out your votes :)

• Features an adventure/quest.
My Eyes Are Up Here
The blurb of my copy has "a quest to find herself" in the blurb so...
From Blood and Ash
It's an epic fantasy

• Features a set of twins.
Tweet Cute
The MC has a twin brother

• Main character has black hair.
Six of Crows
Kaz Brekker!
Sense and Sensibilty
Both the sisters

• Has animals in it.
Eliza and Her Monsters
The whole book is about her webtoon about monsters (animals obviously)
Crooked Kingdom
Strays and stuff?

Yep all the books that I read I will try to fit into Andrew Fasten's prompts because when Natalie first showed us his character I swear he came almost at par with Rowan for being my fictional crush XD

Do we need to have a prompt wth every book i read in november or can it be for say, 2 or 3 books..??
Also, the prompt can be eligible or any character of the book, righr? Or does it..."

It can be for 2-3 books, but in order to cast one full vote, you have to complete prompts for the same character, and there are 4 prompts for them.

If the prompt starts with 'features a character', it can be any. If it is 'main character', it has to be the protagonist.

I can help you plan, btw. You need just one more book that features a set of twins. I know The Wishing Spell. It's MG, but it's nice.

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

No wait! Tweet cute has twins! I'll move that from black hair to twins :)

Oh wait, I forgot it does :P

Here's my plan!

So I am planning to vote for the female characters first, and then we'll see what happens. My first vote goes to Anna Lovelace <3

• Read a book that features a feminist character.
Tweet Cute - started in Oct, finished in Nov.
(so Pepper's sis has attended a workshop on sexism and feminism, and Pepper claims that Paige will do nothing that is non-feminist)

• Features an orphan.
City of Bones
(Jace is an orphan, even tho he is kinda adopted?)

• Has the word 'different' (also mention pg#/%).
A Tale of Witchcraft...
(it talks about how the magical community should not be differentiated from mankind, so probably it does)

• Features a cat.
Animal Farm
(of course it does)

Then I looked at my TBR and tried to fit some books, in Kizie's, or Tanya's prompts. I am not sure yet, though.

LOL XD Thanks An, you're so sweet :)) And maybe I will. Who knows ;)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Yes!!! :)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Question - Does a "quest to find herself" in the blurb at the back of the book count as a quest? Please say yes XD

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Aahana wrote: "Question - Does a "quest to find herself" in the blurb at the back of the book count as a quest? Please say yes XD"

Um, it's a 'quest', right? If it really is a quest then it does. Like read it, and see if it really is a 'quest', or if "quest to find herself" is just a metaphor in the blurb.

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Yeah it's a quest but not like a dragons and goblins quest, so it counts right is what I'm asking :)

Yup, it does :)

Aarja wrote: "Aahana wrote: "You're voting for almost everyone!!"

Aahana wrote: "You're voting for almost everyone!!"

Yeah, I guess I couldn't decide, so I decided to go all out xD

[Natalie]

Question:
I’m reading a manga rn and I can’t find a page count anywhere. The books themselves are on goodreads, but the page number isn’t listed. So could I just get the minimum points for it? (So 1 point, and the bonus review points if I review it)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

You know you're a mod too, right? XD
But yeah that works!

[Natalie]

Lol. Yeah. XD I figured I’d ask just to make sure another mod agreed :)

[Tisha]

Can I vote for Anna Lovelace first, even though I had started with Tanya? Just asking

Tisha wrote: "Can I vote for Anna Lovelace first, even though I had started with Tanya? Just asking"

As I had said before, you can vote for her, but your posts will be on hold until you complete Tanya’s vote. Once you do, it will be counted :)

I had a question. In one of the prompts, does “feminist character “ also mean a strong female character? If so, does Kate from Our Dark Duet count?

Yes, our main idea by 'feminist' means a character who defies the inequality :)

[rania]

Okay thanks :)

[◐Devika]

Can this book count for plants on the cover?

This is an audiobook and it does not have any printed edition, so how do I calculate the points?

As you mentioned in the review thread that it is 4 hours, you will get 5 points :))
