My blog's 6th anniversary and Rainbow Awards pre-party

[reviews_and_ramblings]

So another year is gone, and my Journal is now 6 years old :-) Since end of November is also really near the time when the Rainbow Awards will wrap up nicely (on December 8th) this year I want to have a joint party! So I asked to many of the authors in this year contest to be generous and donate a book or two... and the answer was overwhelming: 243 among print and ebooks!

But this time you have to "earn" your prize and so there is a "little" treasure hunt: nothing complicated but you need to complete a chain made of Title-Word-Definition-Cover-Number. How? I will try to explain LOL

We have 243 book titles, you can find them here:

The Books: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/1805679.html (mirrored here if you don't have a LJ account to comment and you are not friend on LJ: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/3359348.html)

from each title I extracted a word, but be careful, same word can match more titles, BUT there is an unique matching (example, if I have two titles, Love Story and Story of Me, "story" match both titles, but probably, from the first title I took "Love" and from the second I took "Story". Your job to discover the right matching ;-)). You can find the words here:

The Words: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/1805826.html (mirrored here if you don't have a LJ account to comment and you are not friend on LJ: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/3359509.html)

to each word corresponds a definition. The definition refers to single word (even if the word is plural) or not conjugated verb (even if the word is a conjugated verb). You can find the definitions here:

The Definitions: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/1806109.html (mirrored here if you don't have a LJ account to comment and you are not friend on LJ: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/3359969.html)

Once you have the matching Book-Word-Definition, you need to go and search for the Cover here:

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.446587205375367.103212.100000722741394&type=1&l=1a717d4880 (if you don't have a Facebook account, you can try and find the Cover browsing this tag: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/tag/rainbow%20awards%202012 but you have to scroll down a lot of entries ;-))

view the right cover, on the comment section there is a comment by me (Elisa Reviews) with a link to a post on LJ (Rainbow Awards: Current Submissions). Open the link and see what number was assigned to that book in that post.

Comment on THIS post (not on THAT post with the Current Submissions), sending me: Book Title-Word-Definition-Number. You can pick one book per day, if tomorrow there will be still available book, I will assign them. So you can send me more matching but first in-first out, you will win the first right matching still available book.

Exception, for the Book marked as New () there is no Cover/Number, so once you have the matching Book Title-Word-Definition, you can leave the comment.

And now, lets the party start! Enjoy and good luck with your hunt!

yay, thank you! Actually this is kind of fun, we can only do it once?

[reviews_and_ramblings]

No, you can do more than once, but I will give a "day" priority. It means that, if you send a correct matching today, I will wait tomorrow to assign the book, so that everyone can get a chance to win one. If your correct matching is of a book that is already assigned, I will give you a "voucher" (meaning you can pick another book, of course among the still available).

I think I understand. Here's my attempt.

Glass - a hard, brittle, noncrystalline, more or less transparent substance produced by fusion - #189

andreagrendahl at gmail dot com

[reviews_and_ramblings]

MMM, nah, something doesn't match: 189) Valentina Heart - Teacher Plus Two so it doens't match with "Glass - a hard, brittle, noncrystalline, more or less transparent substance produced by fusion" (and in any case you should have also listed the Book Title, i.e. the book with "Glass" in the Title ;-))

Try again!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I see what I was doing wrong. My answer should have been.

Glass - a hard, brittle, noncrystalline, more or less transparent substance produced by fusion - 153 Shattered Glass

I think that answer was wrong and I already own the book that's right. I think I have to start over :)

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Actually, ALMOST right. THAT (Shattered Glass) is not the right GLASS ;-) try again... (hint there is another one with Glass in the title... look at the title listed here: http://reviews-and-ramblings.dreamwidth.org/3359348.html)

[(Anonymous)]

New try for a book I haven't already bought and read. I already had the right "Glass" book.

Sound - the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium
Susan Laine - Sounds of Love - 246

[(Anonymous)]

Amy Lane - Gambling Men - GAMBLING - to play at any game of chance for money or other stakes - 320

I hope that's right.
