Yes to both.

Thank you again, Janice.

Janice, how about these for filigree?

Thank you :)

Yes to the Watchmaker, but no to The Alchemyst.

Ruling please for task 3 :)

Would this work for filigree?

Jayme wrote: "Ruling please for task 3 :) "

Yes. And please don't make me scroll up to the top to review the tasks. Please put the task in your question. Right now it's easy to scroll up, but if I have to switch pages to go hunt for it, I might cry. :)

Yes, it works."

Thank you Janice!

Sorry Janice. Never want to make you cry. :)

LOL! Yes, cause I can ugly cry.

Filigree ruling, or ?

Jannene wrote: "Filigree ruling, or ?"

I'm going to say no to both. There is so little of it in The Alienist that it's not really noticible. The other is like tribal tattoo and curli-ques on the script. Sorry. I'm cringing as I say this.

No problem. I am sure I have one that qualifies.

How about for filigree? The gates look like it.

Jannene wrote: "How about for filigree? The gates look like it."

Yes! Phew! Are you keeping track of how many I approve and disapprove?

Nope.

Is this filigree?

Vicki wrote: "Is this filigree? "

Yes, and thanks for pointing that out. I have that book.

Sounds like a buddy read. LOL

Jannene wrote: "Sounds like a buddy read. LOL"

Yes indeed! The whole trilogy fits into multiple tasks so I think it'll be a good one for 2021.

Jannene wrote: "Sounds like a buddy read. LOL"

I actually have that one as a possibility for this task as well.

If anyone wants to set it up as a buddy read, that would be great.

How about this one for filigree?
.

If it is, I might have a place for the second book in the series, that I own too.

If not, I might jump on your buddy read for the City of Brass.

Oh, look, I have one that I own. Will this work for the filigree task?

I read that book. It was okay.

Yes to both of them Cherie.

Thanks, Janice! I want to read the other two books more than the one I own, but I am really trying to get rid of my owned books first.

Janice wrote: "Vicki wrote: "Is this filigree? "

Yes, and thanks for pointing that out. I have that book."

Oh yay! I have wanted to read this one for a while now!

Katrisa wrote: "Janice wrote: "Vicki wrote: "Is this filigree? "

Did you see that we have a buddy read set up for it?

Janice wrote: "Katrisa wrote: "Janice wrote: "Vicki wrote: "Is this filigree? "

No I didn't! I would love to buddy read this one with you guys!

Is this filigree Janice? .
Or should it be more intricate?

Peggy wrote: "Is this filigree Janice? .
Or should it be more intricate?"

I'll accept it.

Oh, awesome!

No excuses left now to not buy it and join the buddy read ;-)

Super!

Can I get a ruling for for filigree, Please?

Yes, it works.

Could I have a ruling for the task filigree on cover please?
The Architect's Apprentice
PS Do you wish you’d never mentioned filigree?

Sorry editing for book cover

I hope one of these book will work for filigree

It will work.

Actually, I thought it would be hard which is why I stated that people needed a ruling on this. But, I've been pleased that most requests are examples of filigree.

Ayacchi wrote: "I hope one of these book will work for filigree "

My preference would be for Layla & Majnun. I had to really look hard to see it on the first book.

Asking for a ruling for filigree -

I keep adding this one to various challenges and then not reading it - will 2021 be the year?

Katrisa wrote: "Asking for a ruling for filigree -

Yes, I will accept it.

I have a few books that keep appearing on challenges and topplers as well, and I never seem to get to them.
