For this, we need the "ring" meaning the jewelry worn on the finger."

No worries, Kelly. I'm only half way through so you take the task. All good.

[bookcover:T..."

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

Did my initials book not count or did was it just missed?

[Melindam]

Just missed it sorry.

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

No problem. just want to make sure another task is checked off!

[Melindam]

I will update it.

[Aiswrya]

Beautiful cover complete

[Sammy]

So I'm currently reading a book by T.A. Williams. The T stands for trevor, but I've no idea what the A stands for. Can we use it for the 2 Christian names task, or do we need to know what they actually are? 😆

[UNO Pixie, Our UNO Helper]

Ummm, I think that will be a no. 😀

I tried to google it and the author seems to says it's a pen name (?).

Let's go with the "we need to know what the names actually are". 😉

[Sammy]

Ok. I've been looking, but most authors seem to be very cagey about what their middle initials actually stand for. How rude! 😆

There are a few options, like Stephen (Edwin) King or Robert (Rick) McCammon, but it'll take me a week or so to get around to a re-read. I'm sure someone else will get there before I do 😁

[Melindam]

Very inconsiderate. 🤭

If noone claims it in the meantime, we'll finish The Hobbit, or There and Back Again with my son in a few days. 😊

[Sammy]

That'll work! 😁

[Jhmingos]

Is a plural version of the Christian name okay? I can try to read something from Elizabeth Peters, Peters being her last name.

[lorii (Loriidae)]

Does a pen name count?
I will be finished a book by Katherine Ann Madison today.

No, that doesn't work, unfortunately.

😃 didn't expect to be asking pedantic UNO questions before the challenge even starts...
but, how big does this gemstone need to be?

I have Brideshead Revisited on hand,
if you take out your jeweller's loupe!


and the gems are there,

[Melindam]

It's visible, so absolutely accepted, as we didn't specify the magnitude, lol
