Would you class this as gold for option 4?

This looks more orange to me Wendy. It needs to be more yellow. Sorry

That's ok Sassafrass, I'm sure I can fit it in somewhere else.

Per the rules of the challenge--you have to use the paperback version to determine page length, so it won't work for option 2

as for option 4--the color doesn't seem to be more than half of the book, so that won't work either. Sorry.

[Midu]

thanks, Sassafrass

[Midu]

for a mostly black cover?

[Sassafrass]

yes, that works, Midu.

[Midu]

*phew* :-D

[Colette]

How about for mostly black and for romance?

[Sassafrass]

both work, Colette

[Karen Michele]

Would this qualify as a gold cover?

Yes.

[Samantha McNulty]

Would this count? (for a mostly black cover?)

[Sassafrass]

Sam, that looks grey on my computer. I see some black writing down at the bottom that of the cover that looks actually black, so I would have to say no.

[Samantha McNulty]

For #6, would The Princess Diaries work? In the brackets, it says first published 2000.

Yes that works. You are going by the first published date.

[Kara]

Will this count for a cover? It's mostly black, and the parts that aren't are fairly gold.

[Sassafrass]

I'll take it.

[Sandra]

Would this work for the black/gold cover option?

[Sassafrass]

yes, it's mostly black

[Claire]

Option 1 - The Baby Trail by Sinéad Moriarty

Option 2 - Working Wonders by Jenny Colgan

[Sassafrass]

Yep both work

[Wanda]

Will this book be acceptable for option 4?

byMarie Lu

Sorry, Wanda but this is a mostly grey/silver cover so it won't work. Was that the edition that you meant to link?

[Jayme Pendergraft]

Does this work for mostly black? Thanks!

Thanks Sassafrass!

Hello! Does The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao work for option 3? It is about half set in the Dominican Republic but also half set in New Jersey. Or do you want the entire book to take place in the Caribbean.

If a good portion of the book is set in the DR, I'll take it. I've never read the book, so I'll use your judgement.

[Deana]

Thanks! Yes, all of the "historical" parts of the novel take place there, and about half of the modern day.
