Thanks!

[Ora]

Jenne, I think I am wanting to see a dark pink in the wallpaper on this cover. Can you tell me if you see any pink.

[Jenne]

Ora I have it on my kindle and yeah there's some pink in the background.

[Ora]

Yeah thanks

[Belinda]

Red enough?

[Emma (M)]

This cover looks like the doors and walls are a range of blue shades to me - I just wanted to check if the mods agree.

[Jenne]

Yep :)

Emma I see some on the floor and the bottom of the door casing.

[~Melissa~]

- Jenne ~ I see pink - do you see pink?

[~Melissa~]

never mind on that first cover(the beast in him) - oops - I thought there was a spot that was lighter than that - I enlarged and it again and answered my own question for that one, lol

here are a few:

[Jenne]

M #2 is good the author's name is in pink. #3 just looks purple to me.

[Shannon]

Susan Mac Nicol would be SN, yes?

[Jenne]

Yep :)

[Cait S]

Does text that is not the title count for colors still?

Like would this work for yellow:

[Jenne]

It works :)

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I don't THINK this question has been asked. I already had Peter Pan And Wendy and The Fairy Tales on my shelves here at home. Can we read the actual fairytale or a collection of the original fairytales, or do we need to stick to retellings?

[Jenne]

Lanelle I don't believe it's been asked :D
I don't see why that would be a problem as long as it meets the page minimum.

I have an ancient copy of Grimm tales. I don't like touching it too much. It's barely still in decent shape :(

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Thanks, Jenne. I'll put those books on my possible list.

[Ebb]

Thanks Jenne for clearing that up. I was at the library yesterday with a Grimm fairy tale collection and put it back when I remembered we were reading retellings. Glad I can go back and get it :)

[Katherine]

Jenne!!!
I just had an idea for the future Mini challenge/ task.
On the cover has to be some kind of item that you firstly think when you are thinking about these fairy tales.
Example: Cinderella - the item shoe, pumpkin.
Beauty and the beast - rose, maybe a book.
Peter pan - little fairy...
If you do this idea for the Mini, then I think anyone can pick which ever story he/she likes.

[Jenne]

Lol I've been thinking of one that involves "props" like the apple from Snow White or the pumpkin from Cinderella.

[Katherine]

Jenne wrote: "Lol I've been thinking of one that involves "props" like the apple from Snow White or the pumpkin from Cinderella."

But I actually think that this task would be easier on Mini. Because there are stories like Cinderella, Snow white, Beauty and the beast, that could be easy to find the items, but for other stories is harder.

[Shannon]

If the page count comes in exactly on 200 do we use 20 or 25 points?

[Katherine]

✪Page Points:
150-200 = 20 points
201-300 = 25 points
301-400 = 30 points
401-500 = 35 points
501+ = 40 points

You get 20 points.

[Cait S]

Another question about since I know Jenne and Ezi, you've both read it.

Would you say it's 50% from Wraith's POV? Enough to count for the mini challenge this week?

[Jenne]

If I remember right it is. Ezi, anyone remember otherwise?

[Shannon]

Thanks Katherine, I have the wrong scale on my spreadsheet! :)

You need to have Katherine run a challenge on TCF. She has ideas. Let's recruit her :D

[Jenne]

She's got mad skills :D

[LaurLa]

Jenne - do you see a tiny bit of yellow in the flowers here?

[Katherine]

Jenne wrote: "She's got mad skills :D"

Well thank you. ;D

[Jenne]

I do LaurLa :)

[Rosina]

Jenne
If a book has been shelved 13 times as fairy-tales....is that acceptable to get points?

Book I am referencing is
and also is this cover acceptable for pink?

[Katherine]

I got another idea. (Damn I am on the roll :D)
Maybe something about secondary characters, which helped main character at some point.

Example:
Cinderella - Fairy Godmother - so maybe the book has to have fairies.
Red Riding Hood - Huntsmen - there has to be a person, who works with hands.

Okay this is my (third) idea. :D

thank you...:)

[SandyC]

RE: this week's mini challenge, I finished a book with multiple POV's, some of which are male. Can I count that for points?

[Jennifer H]

Do the lips on this cover look pink enough to you Jenne?

[Jenne]

Sandy if you think it was at least 50% from a male's POV yes.

Jennifer those look purple to me.
