May Challenge - Play on Words
Level:
0/?


For this month we will have a play on words by completing the sentence as you see it, then choosing a book by following the instructions. It doesn't have to be a one word answer, but whatever you answer, you must follow each criteria. Please fill in your answers and make sure the book choice is clear :)



For example (#1):

What may I ???? and I will finish it as "What may I ask?

Then I will find a book with the letters "a-s-k" in the title.

Killer Takes All could be my book to read :)

Easy: Choose ALL questions (5 books - 2 Aussie authors)
Hard: Choose questions plus SPELL OUT (8 books - 3 Aussie authors)

QUESTION:

#1. What MAY I ????
Read a book with your chosen word/s spelled in the title

#2. MAY I have this ????
Read a book where the author's initials fit into your chosen word/s

#3. You MAY go to ????
Read a book with the EXACT word/s in your title

#4. MAY I wait ????
Read a book with the total letters in your chosen word/s, somewhere in the page count

#5. MAY I call you ????
Read a book where the first letter of each title word fits into your chosen word/s

SPELL OUT

M
A
Y

Remember that all books must meet our group guidelines HERE

Helen, not quite right I'm afraid. #1 doesn't make sense. #2 Rachael Johns initials don't fit into SCONE. #3 doesn't properly make sense, plus only HIDE fits, not the AND too. #4 and #5 are good :)

I noticed that as soon as I posted, sorry Brenda! I hope my replacement word "second" is okay - in the sense of "this" as an object pronoun. eg. "I'd like that chocolate eclair first, and may I have this (fruit tart) second, please."

My page number for Still is based on Booktopia's information - the GR page doesn't have a number of pages yet.
