Jonquil, both of those books work.

As for your question, it was fun to find out where my DNA came from and to know the percentages. I've been working on genealogy for the last 25 years. I haven't been able to cross the pond yet. My ancestors from Europe have been on this continent since the 1600's, so I feel like I now know which direction to look.

Is this green pricetag ok for a green item? Just want to make sure it isn't considered a design element.

The green price tag works.

Would grass work? I'm thinking about this cover:

Hi LuLu, This books works for Opt. 3, but not for opt. 4. Grass is considered living. The green must be an inanimate object.

Is this okay for option 4 the inanimate green object? I believe the house is green.

Yes, the house looks green to me too.

Thanks Donna!

[Narumon]

Would work? There is a green bottle right above the skull, but it's small and I don't know if the color shows up well enough on the digital copy.

Thanks!

Hi Narumon,

That green bottle works perfectly.

No! I Don't Want to Join a Book Club: Diary of a Sixtieth Year

There is part of a green sofa & the TV screen is also green. Is that enough green?

[Rijuta]

Please approve for Option #3 - Emma: A Modern Retelling

As per the description its set in Highbury which as per wikipedia is in London Borough of Islington.

[Melissa]

Would her dress be green enough for option 4? It's pretty light, but still comes across as green on my screen. Thanks!

[Donna]

Melissa and Cindy, your books work

[Donna]

Rijuta, I can check your book when I return home tonight.

[puppitypup]

Please confirm this one for Option 3. Their base of operations is in Rushford, which Ellen says is in Norfolk, England (Help Thread 25.7 post 25).

They jump to other places from there, but they are at home base for over 50% of the novel.

Rijuta and Puppitypup,

Hi Lulu....splashes of paint work.

The money house works. I wish I had one of those.

[Julia]

Option 4: Is the tunic green enough?

[Donna]

The tunic is definitely green enough.

[Daphne]

Can I get this checked for green item? There are some green and white marbles on the top half of the cover. There aren't any fully green marbles, but some of the clothing approved seems to be mixed green with another color, so I am hoping this counts for other mixed color items too. :)

Hi Daphne,

I'm afraid that the marble won't work. The item has to mostly green and I don't see that in the marble. Sorry.

[Pia]

For Option 3, is a fictional English city ok?

I'd like to read

GR description says: "The series is set in the fictional village of Leesdon on the outskirts of an industrial northern English city"

Thanks!

Hi Pia,

If the setting does not appear in the GR description or the book's metadata, please explain how the book fits the task when you post it so the mods have some understanding of the setting.

[Pia]

Setting appears in the GR description, but as it's a fictional village, I wasn't sure if I could use it, even if it's supposed to be in England

[Donna]

Pia, a fictional village is fine as long as it is in England. I hope you enjoy your read.
