That will work!"
Thanks!

[Laurie]

Would work for purple?

[Stacie]

Laurie wrote: "Would work for purple?"

Remember, the book not only needs the specified color, but the specified GENRE as well. I'm not seeing Historical Fiction listed, which is the genre needed for purple, so it won't work. Maybe you'll be able to find another task for it.

Okay, thanks.

would you consider this blue? Within the book, her markings are described as teal, but not really sure where this falls

Oh, I wish you hadn't mentioned teal, because now that's all I can see! However, where the light is showing through (I think that's what that is) is pulling more blue than green for me, so it's approved for blue!

[SamZ]

Does this book work for fantasy? I know the cover is blue, so that works; but I'm wondering about the SRC guidelines for the children's book part?

My gut reaction is to say no, it won't work. According to Amazon, it has a reading level of 7 (meaning for age 7), and according to the SRC rules "If the intended audience is 9 years old or younger, it probably won't work for the task".

Can a moderator weigh in here?

My gut rea..."

Stacie's correct. This is an Early Elementary School book and won't work for SRC tasks.

Does this work for Orange/Romance. The flames/clouds in the sky look orange:

That will definitely work! Good choice!

[Abigail]

I wanted to check: Does the starfish in front count as orange for romance?


Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's totally looks more pink than orange to me. Sorry, it won't work.

[Abigail]

No worries. I clicked through here, and I agree. My library copy must have changed with age. Thanks! --Abigail

[Helen]

How about these?

for mystery - (cover)

for horror - (center of cover)

for romance - ( cover is green)

Your first two books are fine. For the last one, green is for science fiction, and purple is for historical fiction. Unfortunately, and I'm not sure if this is just another Goodreads fluke, no genres are showing up for the last book, so as of right now, it cannot be used.

[Helen]

No problem. I will focus on the first two - the 3rd one seems like a snafu all the way around. Not enough caffeine to keep the mind firing on all cylinders apparently! Thanks for the feedback.

[Helen]

I just found another one to check out:

- background and coat are purple - historical fiction is listed as a genre

That will work!

[Denise]

Is this OK for orange/romance? (Orange flowers upper right and lower left, author's name, hummingbird's feet)

Thanks.

That'll work

[Abigail]

Trying again. :) Would either the chairs or the flowers on the table count as orange on this one?


Thanks!

Thanks!"

The chairs look red to me, but I'll say yes to the flowers

Does this work for Blue/Fantasy:

Does it look more blue in person? It's leaning more purple to me (but that could be my phone screen).

On my kindle it looks more like a grayish blue

It may have been my screen, but I've checked on a different one and it looks more blue. I'll allow it!

Will the red spot (It is blood) on the cover qualify for something red?

Yes, that will work.

[Janet F]

How about for purple letters in title for Historical Fiction?

[Deedee]

For Historical Fiction:

The woman's blouse is 30-50% purple. Thanks!

[Stacie]

Janet F wrote: "How about for purple letters in title for Historical Fiction?"

That will work (and sorry for the delayed response...this week has been insane!)

I don't see purple...I see blue. Sorry!

[Dee]

- purple writing on the cover?

[Stacie]

Dee wrote: " - purple writing on the cover?"


They will work!

[SamZ]

I'm having a hard time telling if the title is orange or gold? On my copy it looks orange but the photo looks a bit different.

It looks orange to me, so you're fine!

You can do it! I've got about 15 left, so there's no way I'll make the 30 point cutoff, but I should be able to finish. Work has just been kicking my a$$ this tune around!

[Dee]

Same here - between and triathlon training is kicking my ass - this is prob my last season finishing for a while

Hey, thanks for the quick response.

I think I've found a book to use instead:

Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt (2014) by Michael Lewis (Hardcover, 274 pages)

As of May 15, 2014, the last genre listed on the book's main page is:

Mystery > Crime

Would that one work? Thanks!

Yup, that will work

In real life this book has a purple stripe at the top of the cover. What does it look like to you? Enough purple to count?

Would work for blue (sky) or orange (little girl's shirt)? Both romance and Sci-Fi fantasy are listed on the main page.

I'll approve it for blue, for sure. The girl's shirt looks a little too pink for me to be considered orange. Good choice, by the way! I just read it yesterday! I am loving this series!
