25.15 - Stacie MI's task: It's Barbeque Time!
Could I please have your approval for
for options C & E, 'hot' found in 'hotel' & yellow cover?
Dee wrote: "Any page minimum on the 1 book option?"Whoops. That one slipped through. Working out the minimum page numbers with Stacie.... Stand by......
Jen wrote: "Could I please have your approval for for options C & E, 'hot' found in 'hotel' & yellow cover?"Unfortunately there is going to be a requirement that in order to do the one book option, the book needs to be at least 400 pages in length. So this book won't worth for the one book option, sorry!

Nah, we woulda caught it eventually. At least this way you know up front! ;-)

SUPER-- Thank you.

Would this work for A.
and D (all the books I've read so far by Sanderson ended up on my keeper shelf. Will I love this one too?)
I am considering
, works for options A and E and has 417 pages
I am considering
for option E -- yellow enough? Thanks!
I'm thinking of reading Mexico - Sebastian Rook as it's book 3 in a series for Option B and On a Hot August Afternoon - Bridget Straub for Option C?

Elizabeth wrote: "I am considering , works for options A and E and has 417 pages"That will work.
Deedee wrote: "I am considering for option E -- yellow enough? Thanks!"That will work, just let the moderators know that I approved it.

Just wanted to see if this works for option A- fancy clothing as you can't see much clothing other than the gloves but they suggest she is dressed fancy
Sam wrote: "Just wanted to see if this works for option A- fancy clothing as you can't see much clothing other than the gloves but they suggest she is dressed fancy"I'd say with that cover, no, because you can't see the fancy clothing. It looks like there are other covers for that same book that would work, so if you could find one of those, I'd say yes. If you can't use it here, I think you could definitely use it for 25.16.
Is a mustard yellow okay?
fits options C & E, and I have been looking for a task for this baby!
Bec wrote: "Is a mustard yellow okay? fits options C & E, and I have been looking for a task for this baby!"Yes, that looks yellow to me
Could I use Seventy-Seven Clocks: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mysteryfor the one book option, using B, it is #3 in a series sandwiched between #2 The Water Room and #4 Ten Second Staircase Then use option D, chicken? This book is 538 pages in length, the longest in the series so I keep putting it off. This would be the ideal place to use it.
Stacie wrote: "Sam wrote: "Just wanted to see if this works for option A- fancy clothing as you can't see much clothing other than the gloves but they suggest she is dressed fancy"..."Well I have it on my kindle which is actually this cover Beauty Queen so I'm guessing that one is ok.Thanks

I would like to read this Book for option A.
Is Mr Walker dressed fancy enough?

Looks fancy to me!

"It's right on the cusp, but I'll allow it.

"Yes
- i'm guessing not yellow enough right? (either way, it was worth a try)
Dee wrote: " - i'm guessing not yellow enough right? (either way, it was worth a try)"Sorry, but you're right! Not yellow enough
Worth a try - I'll find somewhere else to put it

It's time to crank up those barbeques! It is summer after all! For this task, you will read books related to foods that can be cooked on a grill. You can either read two books from different options, or one book with 400+ pages that fulfills two options.
Required: Please state the options you chose and provide any other required information when you post. If you chose a cover option, please include the cover in your post.
A. Steak: Whenever I think of steak, I think of eating a fancy dinner in a steakhouse. Read a book with a cover picturing someone in fancy clothing - i.e. suit and tie, ball gown
Examples:
B. Hamburger: Seeing as hamburgers are generally eaten sandwiched in a bun, read a book that is "sandwiched" in a series. This means a book must come before it and at least one published book needs to come after it. The book must be identified as part of a series (series name, #) on Goodreads.
C. Hot Dogs: Read a book where the word "hot" or "dog" appears intact in a word in the title/subtitle. Plurals, possessives, and variations all work as long as the selected word is intact.
Examples: Investigating the Hottie, Cold Shot to the Heart, The Dust of 100 Dogs
D. Chicken: Read a book that you've been too "chicken" to read. Maybe the page length intimidates you. Maybe you worry that it won't live up to the hype it's received. Maybe you're afraid that it'll be a disappointment. Required: Let us know why you've been chicken.
E. Corn on the Cob: Due to it's vivid yellow color, read a book with a predominately yellow cover. Keep in mind that at least 50% of the cover must be yellow! Examples:
F. Pizza: I know what you're thinking! Grilled Pizza? True, it's unconventional and not the norm, but it is delicious! Read a book that would be unconventional for you to read - a genre that you don't normally reach for. Personally, I don't read a whole lot of nonfiction, so I could read a nonfiction book to fulfill this option.
Note: Children's books 100+ pages may be used for this task.
Note: Genres “Graphic Novel,” “Sequential Art,” “Comics,” and “Manga” may be used for this task.
