We definitely will need a book for the letter 'U'.

If it works for one of the colour tasks at the same time, that'd be perfect :-)

Practically all the books will need to work for a colour task and a letter as we have 7 colour tasks and 10 letters.

Black and White text on cover is okay - we have such books in the bank.
Same for Blue item on cover.

message 4062: by LaurLa (last edited Aug 15, 2016 08:15AM) (new)

LaurLa | 2388 comments I don't feel like I'm going to be much help with this word :-(
Here are a couple of options (these last two words with bonuses are killing my monthly plan... I know, I know, what plan...)

Mister Black for Black in title

Unravel Me or Under the Cowboy's Control for U


Let me know if I should 'claim' them. If we'll use them then I'll find uses for them in my other challenges.


message 4063: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments LaurLa the U would be helpful but don't go mad and change your plans, we will probably be able to find one somewhere with the other books

Mister Black will not work as it sounds like it would be the name of the guy. Colours used as names are not accepted. They need to be used as colours.


message 4065: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I was probably supposed to know that... But seriously???


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I have blue if we need it Blue Notes (Blue Notes, #1) by Shira Anthony .

I wonder if variations of the spellings work like Blacque/Bleu (Arcada #3) by Belinda McBride


message 4067: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Yes that would work Tamika, I read somewhere that it would count in another language, I'll double check just in case


message 4068: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Just finished Wicked Ride and Holy Sh*t the epilogue!!!!!

I have to read Bridgers story now!!!

Okay. Let me know!

I can't wait to read it! I noticed there is a blue spur on the heel.. :)

This councils out my Blacque & Bleu book. Didn't notice this.


message 4073: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments There is indeed!!!
Nothing to do with the story though lol


message 4074: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Bugger!!
Oh well I asked anyway so we'll know for future reference


message 4075: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Completion post done for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child


message 4076: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments I started that the other day Jessica but haven't got very far, only to the sorting.

We have a U folks!!

Omg is Umbridge in it??? I HATE her!!!!


message 4077: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Hahaha! Not giving anything away :)

LaurLa | 2388 comments K~Terror wrote: "I was probably supposed to know that... But seriously???"

Ditto. That's' just dumb. I mean, I guess I kinda get it, but the color challenges are hard enough. I don't like that rule. Someone needs to change it!


message 4079: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Lol you tell um LaurLa


message 4080: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2388 comments V Nerd wrote: "Lol you tell um LaurLa"

Well, you know. I get riled up every once in awhile but I'm no whip cracker!! (is that a word?)


message 4081: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Haha I think it is, where is Teresa when you need her?


message 4082: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments No doubt!! We need Teresa & her whip! I'm with you LaurLa! These words are hard enough to find in titles as it is, let alone to further limit your choices - that means ST is going to be reading all sorts of crapola!!!

Hahahaha!!!


message 4083: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Hahaha if in doubt drag ST into it lol

Loophole *grin*
It doesn't say Mr/Mrs in the title ;-)

But yeah, better safe than sorry. Would suck if someone told us later on that the book didn't count and thus the whole submission was messed up.

Lol. So do you guys need me to read?


message 4087: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Probably best to steer clear of that one, Tamika. Just in case, you know :-/

Because if we take the question to the mods, it'll most likely be a no. And if we go ahead and use it because the title isn't clear on it, it might just come back and bite us in the behind later on, which would be a shame.

I'm heading to bed now.
I'm pretty sure by the time I wake up someone might already have finished a black title, you speedy readers you, but if not, I can go for The Black Cauldron tomorrow. :-)

G'night!


message 4089: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Night E!

We are moving my son up to school tonight so not sure how much reading will be done here this evening.

I'm totally hooked on "Behind Closed Doors" now and can't wait to get back to it. Sooooo good.....in a creepy-nutso-freakazoid way...

Ya! I just had to pull ST in there since she's the one that seems to read most of these crazy word books! ;)

Which Behind Closed Doors is that?


message 4091: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Great book LaurLa, it's apparently marketed as "The next Gone Girl" .........It isn't! !!!


message 4092: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments By BA Paris - psychological thriller!!!
It better end well! That's all I gotta say...


message 4093: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2388 comments Not for me, then!

Couldn't get online today, stupid work :(


message 4095: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I give the trophy of most obscure "Orange" title to you K :)


message 4096: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Just making sure....since Tamika can't read Bleu...is blue open?


message 4097: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments As far as I know it is! Course, what do I know? I've been moving my kid into school. In listening to my silver book in the way home though. (Not quite as stellar as Behind Closed Doors though..)

Did you like that one ST? It was short & free! :) not too bad of a read either.


message 4098: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Why does auto correct "on" to "in" all the time?

Today is a really, really, really slow day. So slow at work that I'm even reading slow haha.

I started The Black Cauldron this morning. I'm not sure if I'll manage to finish today but tomorrow for sure.
