Red: On embiggening, I had to decide this was a little too orange. It's quite close though, you're looking in the right direction.

Blue: Rejected. Too light a blue and not enough of it.

Green: Approved!

Both approved - Apple Turnover's in the task examples in fact :D

Urgh, this cover achieves the odd feat of being both too light *and* too dark, so no. (Finished that book last night though, fun stuff.)

No, I'm afraid that's too olive.

[Suzanne]

JennRenee wrote: "and this for blue"

No, not a deep enough blue, sorry.

[Suzanne]

Diane Whitney wrote: "Does this work for "Green Party" green?

No - it's the right color family, but it needs to be brighter green.

[Suzanne]

Approved.

If the book takes place in multiple states, but 50%+ of the setting states are red or blue, will it work?

I was thinking of A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (I don't know yet if it's half+ red or half+ blue, but figure it has to be one of the two, given the Appalachian Trail map)

Also, I want approval for Red State for Last Bus to Wisdom - over 50% takes place in Montana, at the beginning and then the second half of the bus journey.

Thanks!

[Melanie]

Oh, and please make a ruling on these blue covers, which I suspect aren't the right shade:



Thanks!

Last Bus to Wisdom I can approve with no problem.

I think I want to check with the mods for a second opinion on Walk In the Woods - it's a while since I read it, but IIRC they start at the southernmost end of the Trail and start to crap out once they get into the Northeastern states. It's iffy; as good as that book is, it might be the better part of valor just to stick with a book set in one state.

You are correct, they are both too aqua.

I've messaged the mods with the Walk In the Woods question BTW.

Rejecting all these - too light and/or not enough green. The green on Until Beth comes closest to the right shade, but there's not enough of it on that cover.

[Suzanne]

Red: Approving A Teaspoon of Earth & Sea, The Blazing World, and Fortress Draconis. (The Rottweiler is the right red, but there's more black than red there, alas. Such a pretty cover too.)

Blue: Approving Coral, The Smell of the Night, and Strangers on a Train.

Green: Approving Titan and Shroud.

How about any of these for the green cover:

Afraid not - Now & Again is too pale a green. The other two have the right green, but it's on the dresses, not the background.

All approved. I wondered if anyone was gonna find that edition of American Gods :D

[Gabriella]

Does this work?

B1 - S. by JJ Abrams: set in a fictional university in Arizona.
B2 - Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling: an autobiography set in NYC or LA, I really don't remember.
B3 - Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup: is somewhere in the list. Maybe page 2 or 3.
