Yay!

[Brandee]

Forgot to ask this question - if the letter appears twice (like the E in Sleep) can one book claim both Es or only one?

[Ashleigh]

Can Action words be found in titles as well? Or just by the letters?

I understand that they can't be found on covers.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I believe that if the word is in the title, we will count it, so like or ☺ The whole word is there so it would count ☺

I think it would be one book per letter, so you would need 2 'E' books if there are 2 E's in the word. I will double check with Danique though ☺

[Ashleigh]

Great, thank you!

Can I count a unicorn as a horse?

[Danique]

Brandee wrote: "Forgot to ask this question - if the letter appears twice (like the E in Sleep) can one book claim both Es or only one?"

Indeed just one! As the rules say:
"You can only claim a letter once per book. For example, you’ve read A Deadly Education and want to claim the ‘N’ in the word ‘Penguin’. This will not count for both N’s, just for one! So, it would be noted as follows:
Penguin___|__**N****___________|______"

Hope that clears it up! :)

[Danique]

If a word is fully (in the right order) in the title, you can claim it :) Actions might be harder to find, but if you find a book with an action in the title, you can claim it!

Good question, let me discuss that with the others and I'll get back to you!

O..."

We've discussed it, and we will not count a unicorn as a horse, because it's a mythical creature & thus not the same. Sorry, hope that makes sense! :)

[Adriana]

That's okay, thanks!

[Brianna]

Would this count for "flipflops"?

[Melanie]

for Umbrella??

[Krystal]

For skating, do they have to be in motion or can they be on ice, in ice skates?

[Melanie]

and/or for mirror?

[Melanie]

Also, do narrator's names count for author? for bear??

[Maddie]

Melanie wrote: " for Umbrella??"

I'm going to say yes!

[Maddie]

Melanie wrote: " and/or for mirror?"

I'd say the second one counts for mirror whereas the first looks like a frame to me

Thanks, that was what I was thinking, but wanted to check first. 😁

Thanks, Maddie!

Hi Krystal, Skating has to be an action, so only if someone is skating (and thus moving) on the cover, would it count. Or if the word skating is in the title of course

[Jenn]

Melanie wrote: "Also, do narrator's names count for author? for bear??"

Hi Melanie, we will accept narrators names for this challenge.

[Jenn]

Brianna wrote: " Would this count for "flipflops"?"

Hi Brianna, so sorry it took so long to get back to you! I spoke with the other Mods on this, and we decided that she shoes looked more like sandals than flipflops so they woudn't count for that word.

Are translators also ok?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, as long as they're listed on the book's Goodreads page you can use them ☺

No problem! Thanks for looking into it :)

For SKATING, are you only accepting images of ice skating or can rollerskating be used as well?

[Danique]

@Ellen rollerskating works too, as long as the people on the cover are clearly in motion, since skating falls under the ‘action’ category. Hope that helps!
