I believe a closed setting is when itâs a very isolated setting, such as a remote island or a rural town, in which the characters donât leave during the story.
Yes, exactly! A story that uses a setting to keep characters more locked in place or when the story uses only one place like a spaceship or haunted house.
Lol âKept you up at nightâ⊠well, Iâll just add all of the ones I read to that list b/c I have an addiction mixed with insomnia- does that count?!?
I love these things so much!! It really is the simplest of things in life sometimes.
@lashyashy84 Yes, and term of address extends to multiple things. So long as itâs a word used to address another person it should count. For examples: Her Royal Majesty, Prince, Commander, Dr., Professor, Mr., bride, and friend are all terms of address.
Hmmm, I donât really read scary books, true crime, or romanceâŠthis oneâs going to be tough. Any suggestions for books that would help me meet âKept you up at nightâ, âtrue crimeâ, âhauntings or ghostsâ âsweet as candy romanceâ for someone who normally avoids scary, true crime and romance?

thelifeofaleftie, Just a heads up for you - in the rules that BookishFirst linked at the top, it states that âEach book you read can only be used for a single square on the board.â It looks like you used the same book 4 times. Not sure if that was just a mistake in posting or if you missed that in the rules. Figured Iâd mention it in case you want to try to read different books before the end of the month or needed to edit. Didnât want you to miss out on points without knowing why.
carireadsbooksandtar - Just a thought, for a book that âKept you up at nightâ, I would think any book that has you so engaged that you want to read instead of sleep would work. It doesnât necessarily have to be scary and keeping you awake, maybe just something you love that keeps you awake. I guess itâs all in the interpretation of the task.
