Here's the link: https://labs.tineye.com/color/

You can drag the cover of the book over to the window (on my Mac) or open the book cover in it's own window, then copy and paste the URL in the appropriate box. Make sure to unclick the boxes saying "exclude" because we want to include the background colors.

Give it a try and let me know if you have problems. I've been doing it so much, that I do it without thinking about it.

That's how I was thinking too Devann. I've searched the Captain discussions but didn't see any comments regarding that rule. I figured we could do more than one genre for a book because the BOTM might be read by multiple team members.

No worries gang.... I read anything 🤣 I’ve found books in each genre that cover at least 2 of the 3.
I’m still not sure how that works, if we need to have each sin covered... 🤔

I found a bit of overlap with the genres, so hopefully Tara, you'll find there are more genres than you realized ;)

Dark Fantasy is a tough one... I wish it was just Fantasy. I found which would be such an awesome bingo if it was "Dark" Fantasy.

Same for me Devan, 2 of the 3 was “easy” to find. But I think I found 1 or 2 for a bingo. Just not sure about that “anything goes” for Yellow Dystopian, seems like anything could fit there.

I found Teddie on Team Lust has read Wilder Girls, so we got that covered ;)

Yes, I believe it is the first full page , not the MPG. I looked that up in the rules because it was so hard to find books that met 2 of the requirements.

I did a bit more digging yesterday and found the
BOTM's for October

Starting October 7th
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

and
Starting October 16th
Wilder Girls by Rory Power

~~~ it is considered a GREEN cover, YA and I'm sure someone has read it, So this one could be a big boom for our team.

I am planning on listening to both. I bought the audiobook for Wilder girls , $10.99 on Audible ~ less than cost of a monthly credit
and if you have Scribd I found the audiobook there, so I've downloaded it for the start of the challenge.

You can go to the link and volunteer to write questions for 40 points (not sure they are still accepting though) or you can just participate for 20 points.

I'd like to join in reading for this one

Sweet! I'm joining in :D

i'm sad horror isn't a MPG op..."

Good point about the Horror genre.... That would have made me happy too!

;D lol

So excited ! and nervous, this will be a good one with lots of looking for matching books. Has Tower been this hard from the start before? I've played 3x's before and have captained and co-captained.
I put down 12 books a month, but may be low the first month as I have a huge exam on November 6th that I am studying for. I have still been reading because I listen to audiobooks and of course, the house doesn't clean itself ;D
I'm planning on getting some books lined up to max out our points, and we can start sharing those we find.
I'm also going to add everyone as Friends, cause that's how I roll , so be on the lookout for my request.

Yikes! Hi all, I'm here.... I didn't get a notice that we had a thread and I was out of town. So Sorry! I need to read through and catch up :D
Good to see everyone here and so busy :)

Finished my Red cover book and updated spreadsheet :)

I think the hot man would work 😍

Perfect! I’ve switched my book to Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich

Great! We can start now?

Oh gosh, I forgot about that thread. For some reason I’m not getting notifications. I’ll head there in a minute

Have we decided which section we would like to tackle next once we get out of the lava?
