Hi all, I've caught up on Date 2. I'm waiting for a couple of corrections and then I will be posting the tallies. So many books...I know I didn't answer your questions earlier specifically, it you still need an answer please ask again!
Oops, nearly forgot...Congrats to Team 3: We Caught Him Book, Line & Reader for winning the Speed Dating Rose for Date 3!!
Kat, if a book is listed as being in two different series, can we use the book if one of the series has it listed as #4 or above?
Donna wrote: "Kat, if a book is listed as being in two different series, can we use the book if one of the series has it listed as #4 or above?"Yes, but make sure I can check it - include links if necessary.

Kat, does a reunion party qualify for celebration? The tag says "reunion" but in the book, it says "reunion party"...

Perhaps in context. I would need to see something that would indicate it isn't just two people reuniting, for example in a second chance romance.
Date 4 - H - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 4.Please remember that all tags/lists must qualify IN CONTEXT!! Links MUST be provided.
Don't make more work for yourself than necessary - if the qualifier is in the title or on the cover, use it! You don't have to go searching for tags to make it work. 😊 If the link you use for the book is the same you are using for the page count and edition - say so (see above edition or something similar)! That saves us all some steps. But please double check your links!
You may use separate editions of your Scavenger Hunt books to qualify for the different tasks. Links MUST be provided.
H is for ??? - ???
To be revealed when the date begins.
H is for Hello - Read a book with the ‘love at first sight’ or ‘insta-love’ trope.
To qualify, the selected book needs to include a 'love at first sight' or 'insta'-love' trope. You can use the precis, tags or lists as your qualification.
H is for Hirsute - Read a book with hairy person on cover.
To qualify for this task, the selected book's cover needs to show at least one 'hairy' person. For a female cover model, her hair needs to be clearly and obviously below her shoulders on the cover to qualify. For a male model, the cover needs to show that he has facial hair (more than 5 o'clock shadow!). Only one cover model needs to fit these requirements.
H is for Hocus-Pocus - Read a book that is MPG PNR or Fantasy.
To qualify, the selected book needs to have 'Paranormal' 'Paranormal Romance' or 'Fantasy' as a Main Page Genre.
Ghosts wouldn't count for C is for Cat... would they?

thank you for asking! I was just going to post a similar question. =)
For insta love troupe would "Fated Mates" or "Soul Mates" work for tags?I understand if they wouldn't. Thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

I was going back and forth on this, I guess I will allow that.
I will add that your example really doesn't work - you can't see that the model has hair below his shoulders. It is going to have to very clear that it is.

I can see how that sort of works, but it can also fall into the enemies to lovers category. I would need more than just 'fated mates' or 'soul mates' to work.

Its ok if that exact example doesn't work. I just read it so I won't be using for this challenge. I couldn't find the one I was really looking for.
FollowUp: What about in a ponytail?
[book:Twist Me|55461165]
FollowUp: What about in a Bun?
*I know Hennessey's Handler would probably qualify because of the beard, but I'm specifically asking about the bun part of the cover.
I think I know the answer to this, but would an "insta-lust" tag work for Hello?

Thanks! I'll look for the tags you need. Just wanted to ask on these two.
Amanda wrote: "I think I know the answer to this, but would an "insta-lust" tag work for Hello?"I was going to ask about this as well. :-)
I should know the answer to this, but my brain is mush. For Hocus Pocus - does the book need to MPG Romance AND MPG PNR?
Thanks!
MN Lisa wrote: "FollowUp: What about in a ponytail?"For some reason your link doesn't work so I can't answer for that book. I will make a generic answer for males or females with ponytails though. A model with a ponytail will work if their hair is clearly and obviously below their shoulders.
So you can probably see where this is going with your next question...

Ignoring the facial hair that would make both covers work....
Any cover model with their hair up in a bun (male or female) is only going to work if the hair is clearly and obviously below their shoulders. So in your examples, the first cover does not work because you can't tell how long the hair is, but the second cover does because not all the hair is up and you can see some below his shoulder.
Amanda wrote: "I think I know the answer to this, but would an "insta-lust" tag work for Hello?"I'm going to do some research on this before giving a definitive answer - it might be to all your benefit.
Maggie wrote: "I should know the answer to this, but my brain is mush. For Hocus Pocus - does the book need to MPG Romance AND MPG PNR?

Yes, all books for this challenge MUST be MPG Romance. For the Hocus-Pocus task, selected books need to also be MPG PNR or Fantasy.
I wonder if Kat can be bribed for an early call? *grin*

I'm not really happy about it, but I will allow 'insta-lust'. It almost seems that a lot of people are using them interchangeably.
Donna wrote: "I wonder if Kat can be bribed for an early call? *grin*"Nope. 😁

H is for Heal - Read a book with an MC who is a medical professional.Since this is paranormal week....would a Healer work?
embed with a wolf pack as their resident healer

Yes, that will work.
What about a vet? Google says it's considered a medical professional.
Medical student? It is tagged as "doctor"...I know, I am reaching here... *headdesk* ;p
I will allow veterinarians and physical therapists. But not medical students and nursing students, they are students, not medical professionals.
Team 3: We Caught Him Book, Line & Reader would like to claim the speed rose please.
Congrats to Team 3: We Caught Him Book, Line & Reader for winning the Speed Dating Rose for Date 4!
A couple of quick clarifications:For Hello and the whole fated mates/soul mates issue - I need it to be more than just not enemies to lovers, I need something to indicate love at first sight.
For Hirsute - Clearly and obviously are your key words to that task. If you are questioning it, it is probably not clear or obvious.
As for the difference between scruff and 5 o'clock shadow - scruff is intentional, where 5 o'clock shadow is just not freshly shaven even if it has been longer a typical day. So I am looking at the difference between neat and trimmed, versus uneven, patchy or simply not freshly shaved to differentiate between the two.
Will have to withdraw, will be going to live with my mother and very iffy internet service. Also posted in team 8 thread.
