So join in and let's celebrate April!

I guess I'm "that person" with the first question :)

For National Letter Writing Day: Would long, informative emails work, or do they need to be actual letters?

Someone has to be first :)

In this case they need to be physical letters, I will accept postcards though as they still gets sent in the mail.

Ok - that makes sense and fits more with the intent of the day! Thanks for the quick answer! I started reading a book today and Chapter 2 was like 20 pages of emails - so I thought I might as well ask :) Pretty sure it also has vampires in it though so it'll count for something or another!

For Adopt A Greyhound Month, does the book need to be centered around the dog? Or does a dog just need be mentioned (the main character has a dog that he mentions several times).

Jessica wrote: "For Adopt A Greyhound Month, does the book need to be centered around the dog? Or does a dog just need be mentioned (the main character has a dog that he mentions several times)."

Somewhere in between. The dog don't need to be the main focus of the book. But it needs to be a part of the story. For example a scene where the MC is playing with the dog/walking the dog or interacts with it in another way.

Hope that makes sense.

Perfect! Thanks :)

For cat on cover, does that include wild cats (leopard, lion, etc)?

Snowtulip wrote: "For cat on cover, does that include wild cats (leopard, lion, etc)?"

I would say yes (as surely they get hairballs too)

Thanks Karen :)

I have a book where the MC is hand writing letters for an assignment. Does it count if the letters are not mailed?

It still counts, the MC is still writing the letters.

Would this book count for Hug a Plumber's Day - Read a book with a couple hugging on the cover?

Yes, I think that's a hug

Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Yes, I think that's a hug"

Okay thanks.

Can we only claim double points on one card per hand. Example: We have 3 colored cards and 1 Wild card in hand 14. Can we claim double points for all 4 cards in the same hand?

Yes the hand doesn't matter. So if you have 3 cards to claim double points on, and they are all in the one hand, that is ok

Hug?

For Holy Humor Day - Read a book with humor as main page genre. Does this mean that the very first listing should be humor or can it just be listed on the genre page maybe 6-7 listings down?

Jessica wrote: "

Hug?"

I would say they have linked their arms together, not hugging, sorry.

No, it doesn't need to be the first genre listed, it needs to be on the main page - the one visible with the book, blurb, reviews etc.

Okay got it. Thanks.

Team member says person on wagon has a hat on. I wanted to double check this one though because I didn't spot it.
So, hat? yes or no?

I looked up the cover on amazon and there you are able to see the hat, so go for it :)

I loo..."
Great. Thanks

For D.E.A.R. Day, do the letters DEAR need to be consecutive, or all of them just need to be in the title?

Just in the title :)

For Grilled Cheese, does a character have to be a trained chef?
Fletcher owns the Pork Pit and also does the cooking.

Ora wrote: "For Grilled Cheese, does a character have to be a trained chef?

No they don't need to be trained, but they do need to work as chefs. And both Fletcher and Gin does (a secondary job, but they still work as it). So go ahead and use the book. :)

Thank You!!!

Is this ok for couple hugging?

would you consider a contractor a handyman?

Yes I think that's a hug

I'm not 100% sure what a contractor is. Do they do handyman stuff? If so then I think you're good

Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Yes I think that's a hug

he's the guy in charge of building homes/buildings and also helps where he is needed.

Does a nightgown work for a character wearing PJs?

Do you think this counts for 50% black?

Laura wrote: "Does a nightgown work for a character wearing PJs?"

I would think so

Ora wrote: "

handyman definition: a person able or employed to do occasional domestic repairs and minor renovations

So I would say so

Not according to this:

Ok.

Awesome! Thanks!

I just went to that website to try it out so I will know how to use it in the future. It says that Pastel Orphans is 62.6% black. At the bottom, you need to uncheck where it says to exclude the background color for it to show up.

Oops, sorry Kristie!

No problem. I thought it was strange that it originally said it was only 1% black. I knew that couldn't be right. No harm done. I'm not even sure we're using it there.

I didn't even notice, I was surprised thinking that it thought it was all brown. I was on my tablet so have to scroll for those checkboxes and completely forgot to do that!

Oh! Makes sense. :) It's a great site though. It will be very helpful.
