Yes, it is.

"Hmm, I can't really see much of the room. Still, I guess it fits into the spirit of 'brightly decorated' and that pink hat is made of win, so I'll pass it.

Thank you!
For option 2: Using Tableau 1 by Mondrian can I use any of a number of books titled Fire and Ice, using the color schemes blues and grey for ice and the red and yellow for fire?
Are the "apple green" walls of this kitchen bright enough?

Hi, would this cover work for Option 1: Colorful room?
Thanks

Hmm, I don't think so. The only thing that is really colourful that I can clearly see is the red curtain and something blue which we can only see a bit of. The flowers/potted plant isn't really colourful and neither is the chair. I'm not sure what colour the walls are but they look dark.

Ok, I'll use it for another task. Thanks!
Clarification, please. In the original post you write: make your choice of any combination of tasks, doubling up if you wish.Does this mean I could read two books that fit Option 1?

Yes
Brooke wrote: "Would Borderline work for option 4? The main character is recovering from a suicide attempt."That would really depend on the circumstances and to what extent this is expressed in the book. If, for example, the main character suffers from depression (for example) and this led to the attempt and they are still having to try to work through this then it would qualify. Sadly people can attempt suicide for reasons which don't really mean they have a mental health issue, or not an ongoing one - people can be sad over an event and think that they can't cope but that is not the same as clinical depression.
I can't really tell based on the book blurb.
Hi again. I picked a different book - can you let me know if this fits the brightly colored room criteria?
Thanks!

A bit iffy but with all of the brightly coloured presents I think it passes :-)
And the walls also look to be quite a reddish brown.

Would addiction work for mental health issue? It's sort of the big one, though there is also depression/emotional abuse/panic attacks and things discussed.Trying to find a place for: A Carlin Home Companion: Growing Up with George
Thanks!

Yes, I'm pretty relaxed about what a 'mental health issue' is and addiction is often linked to mental illness or even considered one itself.
I'm looking at the way that artists were often 'different' from society norms and would pay a penalty for their artistic muse. So addictive extremes of behaviour, intense OCD, Autism and similar would all qualify so long as it is ongoing and severe in its impact.

Good deal. I'd say this works then because all three of them were addicted to various substances--as well as men the daughter was involved with who were addicts and abusive. It was a lot more about addiction/abuse than I had expected (and a lot more about the daughter than George Carlin which I also didn't expect.) Plus there's a good deal about how the drugs/abuse affected his health and his work.
I'm glad it worked, I had another that worked for the renaming a painting part so this means I can mark it done. :D
Would this work for colorful room option 1?
and can you verify genre for option 3 on A Cure for Suicide?
Thanks!
