The Bachelor Team Challenge - Round 7 - Q&A, Tracking & Announcements
If a book is tagged Mystery>Crime by 7 people and it's on the main page list would that qualify for E is for Eyewitness?
Gotta love Google...thanks!
Just to be clear about this - a teacher without further qualification with not work for Engineer. It would need to be a 'math teacher' or a 'science teacher' - something to clarify that they are teaching a STEM class. I expect that would be easier to find in the precis, than in tags.

YAY!!! I had put a book down not realizing this was an okay MPG. THANK YOU!
I have several outstanding corrections requested for Date 4. I will extend the deadline for corrections through today because of my unusual schedule.

Thank you
What about graphic designer in precis? No mention of computer and no relevant tags, but much of graphic design is done on a computer.

Probably, as long as it isn't contradicted somewhere. Please check the author's website as well as the GR author page as well.
Sorry everyone, I had some dental work done today and though it wasn't major, it has wiped me out. I've been basically worthless all day. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️I hope to get caught with everything tomorrow. 🤞🏼

I hope you're feeling better today, MKat.

Sounds familiar! Hope you are good again now :)
Thanks everyone - I'm doing better today. About to start tackling the mountain of tracking needed... 😳
A friendly reminder!! It is best not to wait until the last minute to post your books! I hate seeing comments every week about falling asleep or forgetting about the time difference and not getting your books posted. ☹️ At the very least, get your first book posted as soon as you finish it - then your team won't miss out on the Team Dating Roses if something comes up later in the date that makes it so you can't post or even read. I know I appreciate not having dozens of books posted at the last minute and I am sure all the captains do as well. 😊
I made it through all the SH and more than half the team threads today. I will get caught up tomorrow and get the Rose Tallies from Date 4 posted too. 🌹
This was sounding fun but it sounds very confusing. Maybe next time

Date 6 - Tasks: Breakdown of the qualifications for possible tasks for Date 6.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.
L is for Ladle - Read a book set in the food industry or featuring a MC that works in the food industry.
To qualify for this task, the title, series title, precis, tags or lists need to indicate that the book is set in the food/beverage industry or a main character works in the food/beverage industry. Settings such as restaurants, bakeries, bistros, bars, coffee shops, breweries or wineries will work. Occupations such as chef, baker, waiter/waitress, bartender, barista or restaurant owner will also work. For this task, farmers, ranchers, etc will not be accepted.
L is for Lamp - Read a book with a light source on cover - light, sun, lamppost, candle, fire.
To qualify for this task, the book's cover needs to show a light source as described above. A beam of light, sunlight through a window or sun rays will not be enough - the source needs to be on the cover. However the sun does not need to be the distinct circle like we all drew it as children, it does need to be clear that the sun is on the cover though. For this task, the moon will be considered a light source.
L is for Large - Read a book with a first edition Kindle page count of 300 or over.
To qualify for this task, the selected book needs to have a first edition Kindle edition 300 pages or over.
L is for ??? - ???
To be revealed when the date begins.
Laks wrote: "Do nightclubs/clubs work for Ladle?"Yes. I guess since bars are allowed nightclubs should be too. 😊
For Ladle, do owner of a Hotel or working in a hotel works?
L is for Lamp - Read a book with a light source on cover - light, sun, lamppost, candle, fire.Would neon lights work? (Titles are in neon lights)
What about lights from a building? you can see that lights are on in the building...
Or lights inside a building?
R~wka wrote: "For Ladle, do owner of a Hotel or working in a hotel works?"No, a hotel owner or worker is not going to work. I've been in WAY too many without restaurants or dining rooms to know they don't always cross!
☘KathyD☘ wrote: "do B&Bs work for Ladle?"A B&B would work - it's in the name. 😉
MN Lisa wrote: "L is for Lamp - Read a book with a light source on cover - light, sun, lamppost, candle, fire.Would neon lights work? (Titles are in neon lights)
"Had to do a little research on this before answering. In this example, the title is just a font - so no that would not work. If there were neon signs or something similar on the cover, that would work.
MN Lisa wrote: "What about lights from a building? you can see that lights are on in the building...
Devour (Unbreakable Bonds, #4) by Jocelynn Drake "
Generic answer, lights inside a building would not work - you can't see the light source. That is basically the same as sunlight through a window that I used in my explanation of what would not work. For this book though, there is a stadium in the lower right corner and you can see the lights from that - note I said lights, not light. You can see the lights - so that cover would work.
Now, I'll let my fanaticism show a little bit here, if for example the book's cover clearly showed a lamp shining through a window like the lamp that is always on in Walt Disney's apartment above the fire station in Disneyland - that would work, because you can see the source of the light.
MN Lisa wrote: "Or lights inside a building?
Goal Lines & First Times (CU Hockey, #3) by Eden Finley "
If the cover shows a light source - whether inside or outside of a building/cave/whatever - it would work. In your example it appears to be the inside of a hockey arena and the lights are clearly visible so it works.

"..."
Awesome. Thanks for the clarification!
Had another question that I wanted to answer her as well.Magical fire would work for Lamp - just needs to be shown on the cover.

Hi Kat - for LadleIf the MCs meet in a bar in the precis, will that be enough to qualify?
***edit***
I've also found a tag 'job-barista-waiter' so I guess it qualifies...
Will a tag of "fun" or "romance drama-comedy" satisy?
to add to Laks...would rom-com work?
We Caught Him, Line, and Reader (Team 3) would like to claim the speed dating rose.
