I dont think it will be either bc..."

lollll

[Alaina]

I asked Twin about Jude's YA, and she is saying no to the character being in her young 20's.

[Dr. Andy]

Hmmm well I believe both Annabeth and Celaena are about 16 in the books mentioned

[Alaina]

I thought Celaena was 18?

[Celia]

So definitive answer on Annabeth is that she is 16, which I would classify as a teenager and not a young adult.

Never read Throne of Glass so I don't have a response to that one

[Dr. Andy]

She's 16 in one of the first books. Either the prequel novellas or number 1 i dont remember lol

[Isabel]

Hey guys! I've been reading but I totally forgot i had signed up for this!

[Alaina]

Texted Twin our questions so far and here's are the answers.
Character One
Correct guesses:
(view spoiler)[Blonde
Female
famous (in their world, yes)
fight with a knife
committed a crime
blue eyes
fights demons
in a relationship
live in a city
has a nickname
has a pet
has a job
18 (hide spoiler)]

Incorrect guesses:
(view spoiler)[Black Hair
Male
A Young adult
MC wearing a dress on the cover
female on cover has on red lipstick
MC is 17
have a beard
related to a God
drive a car
disability
fight a disease
a child
guitar player
heir
sweater
short
ghost (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

So since our character isn't related to a God, I'm going to rule Annabeth out.

[Alaina]

With all of our correct guesses, I'm thinking it's definitely Celaena from Throne of Glass. The reasons why:
1 - female character
2 - synopsis says she's 18
3 - she's blonde and has blue eyes (turquoise.. but basically in the blue family)
4 - in the salt mines for committing a crime
5 - definitely famous for being a bad ass bitch
6 - nice ass knife skills - dagger and sword
7 - works for the douche king (king champion)
8 - fights demons from said douche king because he's a demon douche
9 - pretty sure people give her multiple nicknames
10 - has a pet, PUPPY named fleetfoot baby!

[Alaina]

Do you all agree? Should I do our final guess now?

[Alaina]

I texted Andy and she agrees with the guess as well.

[Alaina]

Our final guess was correct! It was Celaena!!

[Caroline]

Yay! Nice sleuthing!

[Alaina]

Woohoo! So we can starting guessing for character 2! When I see a bunch I'll send a text to Felicia to see what we get correct or not. Since she isn't at work today.

[Ruthie]

YAY! Did you use The Fellowship of the Rings in our questions for Character 1 or will we save that for when we need to ask?

[Alaina]

Doesn't look like you posted your books, so they weren't used. I just moved them to Character 2's tab.

[Alaina]

[Alaina]

lmaaao I have no idea who this guy can be.

[Alaina]

I was thinking Wade from RP1 but I don't think he has any siblings..

[Alaina]

Maybe we could guess hair colors? Or eye colors? Adopted? Lives in the US? In the future? Idk!

[Dr. Andy]

Alaina wrote: "I was thinking Wade from RP1 but I don't think he has any siblings.."

I don't think he did either

[Alaina]

😭😭😭 why can't I figure this one out

[Alaina]

Christian Grey? Twin is probably obsessed with him lol. I know he has a sister and they were both adopted. He's a guy. Not sure how he feels about tech though lol

havent read those so no idea

[Felicia]

TEAMS!

I have decided that if a member of the team reads the book for the character that they are guessing for (while guessing for that specific character: ex. reading Throne of Glass and using that book to make a guess and then it is revealed that the character was Celaena), they will receive an additional 10 bonus points! However, you will not find out if you get those additional bonus points until you obviously guess the right answer. :D

[Celia]

I haven't read a super lot of the books on this list but the only one I vaguely think of is Trevor Noah from Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood. He definitely has siblings and step-siblings, is not in any way magical (since it's a memoir). I forget if he's in a relationship during the time of the book but I guess some of them don't really fit. It's probably not the answer for this one.

[Celia]

So I guess some guesses to rule that one out would be black/African, foreign/Non-American, real person. I don't know enough about 50 shades to guess but I'm assuming that's more likely.

[Isabel]

is someone reading a book with BDSM or rough sex? or toxic relationship? if so, we could also determine if it's Christian because he does seem to fit pretty well

[Celia]

True. I don't read those so that'll need to be on someone else

Ok thanks! I didn't want to post them because I didn't know which guess I should use yet

I recently finished The Cost of Knowing with Black male characters so I'll write the review and then post it so we can narrow it down

[Ruthie]

Ok I posted The Cost of Knowing. If it's not the Trevor Noah book, maybe we can use the word Rope or Tied up to see if it's Christian?

There's a part in The Fellowship of the Ring where someone has their hands tied and also a mention of rope

[Ruthie]

And I've already finished and reviewed The Fellowship of the Ring

yeah... you could definitely go for something like 'ties up other people' or 'uses ties'

Ok I posted it. The closest thing I could find was "untied rope" Let's hope it works

[Celia]

Okay, rope clue points to yes.

[Alaina]

Should we do a final guess? Or guess one more thing that would make it certain? Like his hair or eye color?

[Isabel]

Alaina wrote: "Should we do a final guess? Or guess one more thing that would make it certain? Like his hair or eye color?"

we could guess for either "is a CEO" (in case someone reads a lot of romance) or, as Alaina said, go for eye colour (idk what colour exactly but it's light blue or green eyes)

[Alaina]

I think he has grey eyes.. it has been a really long time since I've read the books. Hmm.. I think I might just do the final guess. I don't really see anyone else on the list that might use ropes...

[Felicia]

I went with likes tech as correct because he always has such nice shit. Lol.

[Alaina]

Felicia wrote: "I went with likes tech as correct because he always has such nice shit. Lol."

True.. he does have a helicopter..

[Alaina]

Okay team, we did it again! Christian was correct so now we can start posting for Character #3!!
