Thanks for confirming...also, I realized I confused the task and listed it as Option B rather than Option A, so when you listed it in approved books, you followed my lead and put Option B! Sorry for the confusion and I was looking for the Movie Option A!

Dang! I should have paid closer attention! LOL
Could you please verify this book for Option 2 (the one book option)?
For element B, it is #25 on the NPR Top 100 list. For element C, it has a paved road on the cover. This edition is the audiobook, but the top MMP lists a page count of 1167 pages.
Thanks!

Yes, this works. I am linking it to the paperback with the same cover, which lists 1440 pages. Enjoy.

Yep. This works. Enjoy!
Will either of these work as a paved road:
Amy wrote: "Will either of these work as a paved road:"These are both paved roads, so both books work.
Would either of these work for C?

Amy and Roger's Epic Detour definitely works because of the paved road.
When One Door Opens doesn't work as horizon means when earth meets sky, and this is more of a skyline than a horizon.
Thank you, that was the one I wanted to use bit thought I'd double check in the other one as well.
Sirena, will this work for Option 2? I gave up on Wizard's First Rule, not my cup of tea.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
This satisfies Option B, it's number 64 on the NPR Top 100 Sci-Fi/Fantasy List, and I believe it satisfies Option C, you can see the road going on. It's 846 pages.

This book works for the 1 book option! I hope you enjoy it. I've been meaning to read it for years!
Hello!I'm wondering if
would work for option C (paved road). Thank you!!

Does this work for a Option C - paved road?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I cannot tell if that is a road. Fortunately, I think this book would work for a couple of other tasks. Good luck :)

Yes, it does, thank you for looking
probably not, but does
- it has a motorcycle and it appears there might be a bit of a horizon in the far back (pushing it I know)
Dee wrote: "probably not, but does - it has a motorcycle and it appears there might be a bit of a horizon in the far back (pushing it I know)"Yes, this works. I had to have a motorcycle, horizon, OR paved road. Enjoy!
i thought the motorcycle had to have the horizon ;)

Thanks. I wasn't sure if cobbled streets would meet your criteria.
Tammy AZ wrote: "Does this work for Horizon?
Thanks!"
Yes. That is a horizon.
Is this acceptable for the horizon?
If not, my backup plan is a motorcycle
, but I'd rather not start a new series at the moment.
Would this work for Option C (horizon)?

Will this work for paved road?The cars and road on the bridge are pretty clear when the cover is enlarged
Thanks!

"This works. I like the horizon on this cover! :) Enjoy.
Would this one work for Option C?
♥Robin ♥ wrote: "Would this one work for Option C?"Yes, this works for C (horizon). It looks like a great read!
Sirena wrote: "♥Robin ♥ wrote: "Would this one work for Option C?"Yes, this works for C (horizon). It looks like a great read!"
Thanks!!! I enjoyed it :)
Would this book work for Option C? There is a bit of land in the cover, right by the dragon's wings), and I think there's a horizon? 
Thank you!
Sirena, wondering if
shows a clear enough horizon at least along the right and left sides about 1/3 of the way from the bottom. On the book that white cloud obscures it in the middle over the car.If it won't work, don't worry--I've got time to fine another.
Donna Jo wrote: "Sirena, wondering if shows a clear enough horizon at least along the right and left sides about 1/3 of the way from the bottom. On the book that white cloud ..."Good morning! Sorry, I don't think this is a clear enough view of a horizon to work.
Sirena wrote: "Donna Jo wrote: "Sirena, wondering if shows a clear enough horizon at least along the right and left sides about 1/3 of the way from the bottom. On the book ..."Thanks for your quick reply. I think I may have a much clearer one:
Buffalo for the Broken Heart: Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch
Hi Sirena, I'm back! I was wondering if
by Mark Hodder would work for option C? Also, my apologies for bothering you, but I was wondering if you've made a decision as to whether
works for option C? Thank you!

Sorry I missed your previous post. The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack has a paved road, so that one works for C.
Tooth and Claw technically shows the earth meeting the sky, so I think it works, too. BUT I think the other book works better. :) Enjoy.
Donna Jo wrote: "Sirena wrote: "Donna Jo wrote: "Sirena, wondering if shows a clear enough horizon at least along the right and left sides about 1/3 of the way from the botto..."I guess technically the earth is meeting the sky, which is the technical term for horizon, so I think Buffalo for the Broken Heart: Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch works.

I might have ended up reading it at a much later date, but am glad I got to it now.
Would this cover work for a paved road/horizon?
