Q & A

Nicole wrote: "MountainKat, for the Bonus challenges, is it one word per book? So for example if I find silver, copper and iron in one book I can only use one?"

Oh good question - one word per book. I will add that, thank you!

LaurLa wrote: "MKat, Can you explain what you mean by this task: Apatite - Gemstone of communication. Read a book with at least two of blue, green or gold on the cover... 2 of what? 2 items or 2 'spots' of any of those colors? Something like these? "

Hi LaurLa. What I meant, and will go clarify, is at least two of the colors. So you would need blue and green or green and gold or blue and gold or all three on the cover. And it would need to amount to more than half the cover.

So, Too Much Temptation doesn't work for Apatite because it is only shades of blue. But Anything for You does work because you have the blue on his clothes, the sky and the water, green on the tree and grass, even gold on the author's name and the hay. And all together, that is more than half the cover. I hope that helps!

Oh good question - one word per book. I will add that, thank you!

MountainKat wrote: "Oh good question - one word per book. I will add that, thank you!"

And must the word be in the context of the actual precious metal or can it be used to describe say the colour of a characters hair or eyes?

It just has to be used, doesn't have to refer to the metal. Someone could just need to iron a shirt or have platinum hair.

MKat, Can you explain what you mean by this task: Apatite - Gemstone of communication. Read a book with at least two of blue, green or gold on the cover... 2 of what? 2 items or 2 'spots' of any of those colors? Something like these?


2 blue items: blue shirt and blue jeans


2 shades of blue

Hi LaurLa. What I meant, and will go clarify, is at least two of the colors. So you would need blue and green or green and gold or blue and gold or all three on the cover. And it would need to amount to more than half the cover.

So, Too Much Temptation doesn't work for Apatite because it is only shades of blue. But Anything for You does work because you have the blue on his clothes, the sky and the water, green on the tree and grass, even gold on the author's name and the hay. And all together, that is more than half the cover. I hope that helps!

I added 'colors' to the description for the stone after your question. It just said 'Read a book with at least two of blue, green or gold on the cover' before, not as clear. =)

MountainKat... I have a question...

Regarding... Sneezy - Read a book where an illness or disability is part of the story.

Does the H or h have to be the character who has the illness or disability?

I just finished listening to . The H's mother is trying to adjust to becoming a quadriplegic and the H has hired the h to be a caretaker for her. Is that good enough for this category?
