Help! I need a book set in....

[Lanelle]

I haven't heard of this series, Delitealex. They look interesting though. I'm going to see if my library has them.

[Suzanne]

A great fossil book that's also historical fiction is Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier.

I'm really struggling with the White cover. Any suggestions?

[Peggy]

Not sure what the exact requirement is, just a mainly white cover? A few months ago 'white covers' was the group read theme and several books were nominated. Maybe you can find some inspiration there :)

My problem is it can only have a little bit of black and no other color. I have yet to find one!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Suzanne - I'm reading In the Woods for that one.

[Kristie, Moderator]

If I recall, we came up with a few that were mostly white with only black further back in this thread. I think there's a couple in this listopia list too. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...

[Janice, Moderator]

I really enjoyed In The Woods. Another one to consider is The Winter People.

You and me both. I have decided that publishers graphic designers in Australia really have an aversion to only black and white covers.

Hm yes, that sounds more difficult. I can't think of anything either. Good luck! :)

[Naomi]

Anna and the Swallow Man

This probably has too much blue on the cover, but I am going to read it for the challenge and fit it in somewhere - maybe bird task.

[Janice, Moderator]

By the way, The Winter People is on for $2.99 on Kindle and iBooks today.

Thanks for the list, Kristie!

What?"

I saw one edition in white, but I can't find it now...

[Lori]

White Fang has a white cover edition

[Mariab]

here is also a freeby almost totally white (to make amends in my previous rec...)

Although it's definitely a white cover, the paperback issue is only 92 pages, so wouldn't qualify.

[Lori]

Just discovered another white cover book. Its free on kindle prime.

[Cherie]

okay - I give up. Anybody find a book cover with a rainbow?
I have been through 80 pages of books on my TBR and I cannot find one.

I plan on reading for my rainbow book.

I plan on reading [bookcover:The Driving Lesson|1..."

Good for you! At least you found one! I will keep looking. I am still trying to find a waterfall too. Thanks for the reply.

[Travis]

Cherie The Gate to Women's Country

[Kristie, Moderator]

Travis - I just saw that one too. Here's the cover, Cherie.



I also found these that I think work. they aren't a rainbow in the sky, but they are rainbows.

[Cherie]

Thank you, Travis and Kristie.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I'm reading Tiger Milk at the moment which is white with rainbow words. Not sure if I'd recommend as yet but it's an option

on phone so will link later tonight

[Cherie]

I think I have found two out of 2951 books. I think one will work, but of course I want to read the other.

What say you, Janice? and

.

This is Rusalka's book.

[Camilla]

For the rainbow task I'm going to read
, I even happened to own it already.

[Camilla]

Oh, and for the waterfall I have

[Cherie]

Good one for the rainbow, Camilla. My kind of book! I saw the Karen Harper book when I was searching tonight.

I found this one on my TBR. can you see the waterfall way back there?

[Deborah]

I left you some others in the thread where you were joking about the rainbow man :)

Thanks!

Janice said in the other thread though, that it has to be an actual rainbow. So sorry :(

[Janice, Moderator]

Aren't I a meanie.... still.

Thank you for these two covers, Deborah. The first was published in 1982, but I did not look at the other. The bottom line here is that I am not willing to read another 5xx page book.

Were you reading your book for the Rainbow task?

ah! ok, will go seek bona fide rainbow on short book :)

would this count?

- 32 pages :)

or this? I found it for my TBR list - 400 pages sorry but looks a much lighter read - I am trying to push my boundaries more....

LOL! I would read the goblin book, but it is too short. I found a lot of books that were too short. I have add the other book to my TBR list and will keep it in mind - if I ever get to the task. Thank you very much.

[Jannene]

I found a silk book for those looking for one. The Girl Who Wrote in Silk and it is $1.99 on Amazon today. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T...

There is also a Sherlock Holmes book called The House of Silk.

Personally, I would rather read Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover instead of the Brangwan Family Series, which I had on my TBR as .

[Deborah]

or numerous versions of the Silk Road for silk.....

yes, Cherie, that's another of the many editions. Lady Chatterley - I suppose it's one of those books one really should have read but I find D.H. Lawrence overrated. It may have been banned in the sixties but it's pretty tame stuff now and Lawrence was a bit of a misogynist IMHO

Nope. March Challenge.

Janice has approved this for me, I know you like SF. If you haven't already read it, is a good one:

Sea of Dreams

And here there ara a few ones with waterfall (we all posted it in the wrong thread:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I hope it helps! (sorry I didn't post this before, It was a very hard week...)

[Sam F]

I wondered if this version of - The Story of Beautiful Girl would work for a rainbow cover - given the varied colours of the title's writing.

[Janice, Moderator]

Sorry, Sam. It must be a rainbow - either a picture of a rainbow or "clip art style".

[Cherie]

Hi Janice,
I had planned to read The Bellini Madonna: A Novel for the painting task for France, but I am wondering if this book will fit? I happened to pick it up in audio on Overdrive and just finished listening to it this morning. Death of an Artist: A Mystery. There is a lot of discussion about the artist, her art, what drives her, etc and about galleries and it mentions a few paintings specifically, many times. She is murdered to get control of her life's work to sell it.

[Janice, Moderator]

I'm kind of surprised you're asking, Cherie. It sounds pretty obvious to me that it fits the painting task. Don't second guess yourself. :)

[Cherie]

Gun shy, I guess. Thanks, Janice.

[Janice, Moderator]

LOL! You'll give me a complex. I'm not that much of a meanie.... I think. Am I?
