Chaitra’s comments from the The Seasonal Reading Challenge group.

Perfect, thanks Sandy! :)

Hi Sandy,

May I have these books approved? I'm not sure they'll stick on until the time I post...

1. The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls - Popular Bookclub Book - US, All Time, #19 today.

2. Dark Places by Gillian Flynn - Most Read - World, This Month, #21 today.

Yes Andy, that works. :)

Michael wrote: "would these work for option D "

works.

has a large and very obvious title, so I'm going to say no to that. Sorry!

No problem Nikki! Happy to help. :)

Yes it does. I definitely remember it in the scene where these guys are in New York trying to contact that hacker for the camera/scanner thing? The hero messages the hacker that the book that they're trying to copy is a big deal, and the hacker messages back asking if it's bigger than potter. I mean, it probably varies a bit, but that's the gist.

I'm assuming this is for the 15.1 task? It also references JK Rowling by name I think, but I can't remember if it names a specific book. Hope that helps!

I actually didn't pay attention to Nick's employee woes, not until I read the discussion here. I thought a) that Nick's place was less than 20 miles to L. A. and all his employees were drifters trying to get to L. A., and b) that he was a stingy fellow who didn't pay much.

Honestly, I've no idea where I got (b) from. I might even be confusing it with some other book. But, anyway, that was just part of the set up for me.

@Jayme, my favorite Cain book is Double Indemnity. I've read Mildred Pierce too, and liked it, but for the life of me I can't remember anything about it.

It works! One of my favorite books too! :)

and work perfectly.

, I'm not sure if her legs are within the cover (behind the table), but I'll give it the benefit of doubt. If you decide to use this, could you mention that it was approved in the thread?

"

Yes, they work! :)

"Waked us" is not something I would use, but I thought it grammatically correct. No? The days when I could parse English grammar are so long gone, that I'm actually going to be surprised if I am right. lol.

Andy wrote: "Do these two books work for dismemberment, Option A?"

Andy, works. I'll say no to because it looks like the person (child?) is entirely within the cover, even though they're behind the tree. Sorry!

Fiona (Titch) wrote: "Can I have and as Option 1?"

Yes!

Jenifer wrote: "I'm pretty sure that these fit for the "dismembered" category but just want to be sure:
and "

Yes, they do!

Kristine wrote: "For option A.???

"

Yes, I'll take that. :)

Janet F wrote: "How about these for Option A? First one dismembered wolf (lower right corner) and the other is just part of human face.
"

Yes, both work!

Claire wrote: "But that title has been approved in your post?"

Aargh! Sorry! That was a mistake. I obviously didn't see properly the first time around. Thanks for bringing it to my notice. Changing it now!

Sandy wrote: "Chaitra wrote: "Just to be absolutely certain, the line "I liked to read - the Tolkien books..." can be counted as a reference to read The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, right?"

yes."

Thank you!

Claire wrote: "For Option A, I am going to read Night Road by Kristin Hannah and A Song Flung Up To Heaven by Maya Angelou."

Claire, I'm assuming you mean this cover for Night Road?



It wouldn't work for A, because there are two tiny people on the road that appear whole. Sorry!

works. :)
