Q&A with Josh Lanyon discussion

Tomorrow we'll have here a little game for you in anticipation of the release of The Ghost Had an Early Check-out.



You might want to re-read or re-listen The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks to prepare. Just saying...

LOL thank you for the heads up. Will do!

I know! I just have to find the time for it...

Thank you for setting up the topic and for organising the festivities.

Can't wait to spend time with Perry and Nick! And youse guys, of course! :-D

Thank you for taking care of the festivities, my dear C.

You're very welcome! *sending hugs*

I did a re-listen of and I'm ready & can't wait!

Didn't do my reread/relisten, so I'm going to have to fake it til I make it....
You know what? I'll just bring all the snacks to the party so no one will notice.
I'll also be bartender. WHO NEEDS A DRINK?

Me! Can I have a Negroni, please?

Planning to reread. One of my favorite books.

Ok, it's already 18th in Australia. I need the book nooooooooooooooooow...

How I wish I had it already!

On the other hand: no time at all to read. :(
I'm looking forward to free reading time under the Christmas tree. :)

Remeber The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks?



While waiting for the release of the next Perry and Nick story, let's have a little party (thanks to Haldis for (wo-)manning the bar!).

And what's better than a little quiz to test your knowledge of the first book? Just follow the link to the quiz.
Then come back here and share your highs and lows. ;-)

For those who enjoy to create haiku, you can use the following words for inspiration:

secret, passages, Froot Loops, ghosts, dust, cobwebs, breeze, footsteps, ice, jewels, star, murder, Nick, Perry

Flex your poetry muscles, try to use one or more of the words above and share the results with us.

(If you're new, Fanyons all share a passion for haiku, this very short form of Japanese poetry consisting of 3 phrases with 5-7-5 syllables respectively.)

We're giving away five audiobook codes (for Audible UK, should also work for participants overseas) to randomly drawn participants (one code each)!

You have until about (my) 8 p.m. on Wednesday (when most of you hopefully are already avidly reading the new book).

Passages open but
If Nick and Perry are there
No ghost disappears

Yes. All answers are wrong answers. :(

Teal wrote: "Barbra wrote: "I can't get past #5 on the quiz...has anybody else had this issue?"

Yes. All answers are wrong answers. :("

Question #5 is a bit tricky, but (view spoiler)[has three correct answers, i.e., three prowlers (hide spoiler)].

KC wrote: "Question #5 is a bit tricky, but (view spoiler). "

Aha! Solved by someone who really knows the book. ;)

Passages hide ghosts
Secret footsteps in the ice
Perry sees jewels

Once I realized there could be more than one answer to a few of the questions, it was no problem.

My favorite was the private eye, tiny fly, secret spy, (apple?) pie

Footsteps in the dust
Someone ate all my Froot Loops
MURDER! You're a ghost

Ok, back to bartending.
Have another Negroni, Susana!

ps I'm just playing for fun

It's here! My Amazon pre-order came through a half hour ago!

Guess who's not getting any sleep tonight.

Thank you! I think I need it, after working myself through those questions. By the way, clever, cunning girls... Some questions were really tricky. But a lot of fun!

Haldis wrote: "Ok, back to bartending.

I need a very strong tea. Yawn! Thank you Haldis!

I couldn't pass #5 :(. I'll try again now that I know what can be done.

Did you see KC's hint up there?

If all fails, send me a pm and I'll give you another hint. ;-)

LOL

I knew you would come up with some hilarious haiku! Thank you! :-D

How did you guys like the photo?

I put "yellow socks" in the search bar on pixabay.com and that was what came up first. I just had to use it. :-D :-D :-D

Definitely made me smile! :-)

This is priceless, Haldis! :-D :-D :-D

I was wondering how you came up with that, Calathea! :D
Like Johanna said, it's definitely smile-inducing. :)

He was hungry and so sad
Nick fed and cuddled"

Aww. That's adorable, Mymymble. <3

Loved yours, Haldis"

I just made a batch of hot-buttered rum. And hot cider for the non-alcohol drinkers.
Who wants some?

Congratulations to the winners!

I didn't participate to the festivities in the usual way, but last night I finished rereading The Ghost Wore Yellow Socks! This evening I'll be able to start The Ghost Had an Early Check-Out. Yay!

It is the perfect moment then for you to try the quiz... you should be able to ace it with story all fresh in your memoriy. :-D ;-)
