20.8 – It’s My Birthday! Laurie's task: March On!
For Option 1 - "lion" or "lamb" can be imbedded intact within another word or they can be stand-alone words.
Are the letters in this title green enough?
Thanks

Yes, they are great, Kathy!

Yes, they are great, Kathy!
Would you take this? I think it works for 2 options - 3: cross on the cover and 4: Green titles.

Yes, they are great, Kathy!"
Thank you!!!
:-)
Yikes, it seems green is really not a popular color for titles! I only found two books on my TBR. :)Anyhow, this question is about option #1. In this one: Lions And Lace, Lion is intact so I'm assuming it works? If not, I think I can use Cotillion.

You may use either one - lions or Cotillion.

I plan to use 
for Option 4.
The Green is a little bit dark, but I hope still green enough.
This has children as one of its genres, but should be long enough with over 400 pages for the hardcover version.
I found a few green titles in my TBR mountain!
I only found a couple of green titles.
definitely works, but I wanted to see if
and
were green enough.

That is perfect...
For Option 4, is the title of this book green enough? (it looks like a mint green color to me)

Thank you Laurie - I can't wait to start reading this book :)
Phyllis wrote: "Patchwork DreamsIs there enough green in the title?"
Yes, Phyllis, there is enough.
Is a cross like this ok?
How about this one?

"You may use either book - they both satisfy the requirement.
All Right, I am going to try this one too.1. In honor of the month, read a book where the word “lion” or the word “lamb” in found intact within the title, subtitle or author’s name. ex. Mark of the Lion, Wally Lamb, A Million Little Pieces
2. My birthday is on the 9th – read a book that is the 9th in a series. The book must be identified on GRs as book #9.
3. Easter means different things to different people – read a book whose cover has one of the following objects on it – a cross, rabbit, basket or egg.
4.The first day of spring brings thoughts of everything green – my favorite color! Read a book that has the TITLE in green letters. Only the title is required to be green; subtitles, author's name, and other cover text do not.
Patchwork Dreams finished 3/15/13
5.The way to remember the Daylight Savings Time rule is – “Spring Forward, Fall Back”. Read a book whose title or subtitle includes one of the words – “spring”, ”forward”, ” fall” or “back”- no variations of the words. Series titles are excluded.

Another green title approval - 
hard to see but looks green on my monitor, author's name is not in green

It is fine, Cindy. Just the title needs to be green.
For Option 4, are the letters in this book green enough?
~ mariya ~ wrote: "For Option 4, are the letters in this book green enough?"Mariya, yes, although a very light shade, they are fine. I had to blow up the cover picture to see the color better, as they didn't look green at first.

Hi there. How about
for option 4 ?

The title letters look yellow to me; not green.

Well, it's Lemony :)
I guess I'll try something else for this task. Thanks.
I'm listening to How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion which I'm planning to use for Option 1 - 'lion' found in subtitle 'rebellion.' Just want to make sure that's fine!
This looks green to me -- but want to double check.
.If that doesn't work, so you take partial title:
?
