May's Clue Challenge
I love this one! Clue was one of my favorite games as a kid!
I'm in, and I have a question.How much of the cover has to be a certain color to qualify?
Definitely doing this! I love Clue!!!!!
The books have to be more than 60% of the color you want to use. If anyone has questions on a cover just post it on here :)EDIT: I changed the rules a bit to include books with the main focus of the book being one color. Check rules above :)
Would Matched count as a blue cover? Not sure...
Oops sorry Crossed, the second book!
I'm going to say yes to this even though it's not 60%. The blue pops out and since it's also the only color on the cover, I'll ok it.
I just amended the rules on the color of the covers to include books like Crossed :)
A participant list has been added to the book tallying page :)
I'm so excited for this challenge :) I love Clue!
I love this challenge. I am in too. I don't know how many books I will be able to read but I love it.
Is it too late to sign up for this? If not, I want to join.

I guess I'll join. (I'm probably going to fail epically, but whatever.)

The covers can also have one color as the main focus. So something like
would still count because the focus of the covers are that particular cover. Does that make sense? If you guys have any questions about a book you'd like to use, just post it on here and I'll let you know if it works :)
Not sure how many I'll read for this, but hey even one book counts as an entry :) I'll give it a go!

I'm in! It's my first time to join a challenge in this group and I know that I'll fail but I'm still gonna try. Lol. :)

What colour would you say this is? I haven't a clue really!
Jalyn wrote: "The covers can also have one color as the main focus. So something like [bookcover:Need|4070..."I'm not sure with the part of the weapon/creatures, but does that pertain to the cover being a creature like the demons, shifters, etc? or just the heroine/protagonist himself? I'm not sure if you know what I mean, I can't explain it clearly. So Cinder is still accepted even though it's just her foot on the cover, and not a face?
I don't think the creature has to be on the cover, but the story must be about them. Or it can be about regular humans as well.

white

Thanks Tatiana and Greta. I've been having problems picking the books I thought it was the covers. You were all helpful :)
This looks like fun! Can I join?Would this be purple or white?
Mei wrote: "Jalyn wrote: "The covers can also have one color as the main focus. So something like [bookc..."Nope. The only thing you have to worry about when it comes to the cover is the color. The weapons/creatures have to be what the book is about :)

"That is up to you. Either would qualify :)
@Louise and Gabrielly absolutely! @Abbie welcome :)
Shrishti~Music~Psyche wrote: "I do NOT understand this."Well, put simply, you have to read a book that 60% of the cover's color should be any of the colors stated above, and the characters are either zombies/fairies, etc. (as mentioned), regular humans will do, too. When you post your books you have to follow the format just like in the example.
Shrishti~Music~Psyche wrote: "I do NOT understand this."You have to find one book that qualifies in all 3 categories. The hardest part will be finding a book that qualifies as one of the colors. Once you find a book with a cover that qualifies, the rest is easy to do since you just have to say what kind of "creature" the book is about and what genre the book is. So for example, let's say that I read
I could choose either white or yellow for the cover color, but let's say that I choose YELLOW.
Because the book is about both fairies and shifters I could choose either, but let's say that I choose FAIRIES.
This book would count as either Paranormal, YA or Fiction, but let's say that I choose to use PARANORMAL.
Now, after I read the book I would get on the thread for posting the finished books (the link is up top with the instructions) and I would post this:
Colonel Mustard (yellow cover)
with the Lead Pipe (fairies)
in the Billiard Room (paranormal)
Review: Link
Buddy: No
Did that help?
Mod
Would this count as yellow? or is it too multi-coloured? I'm guessing it's too diffuse to count.
and would this count as blue?
I'll have to say no to the Fifteenth Summer, but Scent of Magic is fine.
Mishma wrote: "What colour does this count as?
"I'd say that's more of a pink, but you can use the original cover and use the color as yellow because the fire is the main focus of the cover.
That also means the cover to Grave Mercy counts as red because the dress is the main color, right?

Sign ups and questions are in this thread.
At the end of the challenge I'll find each Character/Cover, Weapon/Creature, Room/Genre to see "who did it" (through random.org). If only one person reads a book with the correct C/C, W/C and R/G then they will win. If more than one person reads the correct type of book then I'll narrow them down through random.org too. There will also be one random winner.
