Ashley’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Daniel, both are of equal value, so do what you find most entertaining.

As far as your other question... Sort of. We need to still have 10 unique locations, but it doesn't matter how many times we repeat it, and the order we get them doesn't matter. At least, that's how I understood it, after I read it 12 times to confirm.

Do we think this is enough red on the cover? At what point do we check in with TinyEye?"

I think it's enough! :) So we'll go with that!
As far as tineye is concerned, I try to only use it if I'm really on the fence - which will most likely mean it's not going to work. lol

Brittany! You have "The Destroyer of Worlds (Matt Ruff)" on the SS, does it have at least a 50% presence in Chicago?

Lovely to have you Namita!!! Let me know if you have any questions about the current round!!

I've added letters to the SS, but don't worry if your book doesn't work for one of them, you can add them at the bottom. I'm still moving them around, just trying to see what we have claimed so far. :)

Got it Lauri! Let me know what other books you were thinking of and I can see if they might work somehow!

I feel the same Lorna - places are HARD for me... so unless I get lucky, I think I might be unhelpful too!

Lorna wrote: "Would these work for red covers?

🤞🏼"

Ekk... I think no. They are more purple and brown...
