Jennifer J. | 561 comments And I'm using the cover in your link

That is REALLY intriguing... That we both use the same site with the same cover and get different results!


message 454: by K~Terror (last edited Feb 20, 2017 02:10PM) (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Okay, just to be sure - did you use the same cover that was in my shelf? Wonder if that is the difference???

They all look very similar but wonder if there is a subtle difference between them?

Not that "swamp green" looks all that green... But, I figure that is the balance to the covers that look clearly RED but don't show up as red on stupid color extractor. Example
Jason (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #23) by Laurell K. Hamilton HOW IS THIS NOT RED???? :)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I thought I did, but let me try again...


message 456: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments For some reason it looks like the 'hardcover' version is coming up GREY and the kindle editions are coming up GREEN... even though they look OH SO SIMILAR....

Thank goodness I am reading kindle edition!!!! :D


message 457: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Unless someone else has a book they want to use for that spot, and that is totally fine too!


message 458: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments Ah hah!!! I had tried the hardcover version and you have the kindle version on your shelf. But they look identical.

That's ridiculous!!! I'm starting to wonder if they don't need a different method to determine book color?!?!


message 459: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments Oops! Didn't see your post before I did mine :-P

It's not the best but it saves them a zillion questions of "Is this cover OK?"

LOL!

I may just include a link to the cover breakdown for any of them I use just to be safe!


message 461: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments I definitely think we need to do that!!


message 462: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments Mod Karen said Infinite Sacrifice (Infinite Series, #1) by L.E. Waters would work for yellow and Jason (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #23) by Laurell K. Hamilton would work for red.


message 463: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 506 comments Yay!!!! I didn't know we could still ask. Thank you! I'm on my phone app but think the yellow book needed to work for I, right? And I'll need to check characters for the red book to see if it will work.

Course I'm just throwing books out that I can find, I don't necessarily need to have all these spots. LOL!

I'm an analyst so, by nature, I just needed to see what I could get lined up. Wasn't sure how hard it would be...

I didn't find an "F" in the book for the last remaining 5 but there's a "Fiona" in the book I'm reading now if we still need it when I'm done.
Try Not to Breathe by Holly Seddon

Silje (sikna) | 908 comments I suggest that, when we near the end of the month, we place all the books in part 1 that can be placed in section A and B there, in stead of C, since they earn more points per book=)

I think that's a great idea. I'm hoping to finish the three books I have listed and I would love to finish more but I don't know if that's going to happen because RL is requiring my participation more than I would like this week!

Sounds like a good plan!

I'm going to try to stick to Valentine shelf reading as much as possible through the end of the month. I've been scouring shelves and have this list to work through: (Most of them will be for "read in Feb")
A Cold Day for Murder (Kate Shugak #1) by Dana Stabenow Bad Mommy by Tarryn Fisher The Devil's Daughter by Katee Robert All Rivers Flow To The Sea by Alison McGhee Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville #1) by Carrie Vaughn When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore The Turn (The Hollows #0.1) by Kim Harrison Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf Caraval (Caraval, #1) by Stephanie Garber The Girl from Everywhere (The Girl from Everywhere, #1) by Heidi Heilig Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith Alienated (Alienated, #1) by Melissa Landers My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga The Widow by Fiona Barton Act of God by Jill Ciment Imperfect Chemistry (Imperfect, #1) by Mary Frame The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg The Mirrored World by Debra Dean Dash & Lily's Book of Dares (Dash & Lily, #1) by Rachel Cohn The Secret of Ella and Micha (The Secret, #1) by Jessica Sorensen November 9 by Colleen Hoover Island of Lost Girls by Jennifer McMahon Kiss by Ted Dekker By Your Side by Kasie West City of the Lost (Casey Duncan, #1) by Kelley Armstrong Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover Find Her (Detective D.D. Warren, #8) by Lisa Gardner Truth or Beard (Winston Brothers, #1) by Penny Reid The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North Out of Darkness by Ashley Hope Pérez Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella Ricochet (Vigilantes, #1) by Keri Lake Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1) by Amie Kaufman Black Box by Cassia Leo A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness Heat Wave by Karina Halle My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella The You I've Never Known by Ellen Hopkins I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid Carve the Mark (Carve the Mark, #1) by Veronica Roth The Wire in the Blood (Tony Hill & Carol Jordan, #2) by Val McDermid Three Dark Crowns (Three Dark Crowns, #1) by Kendare Blake The Sleeping Prince (The Sin Eater’s Daughter, #2) by Melinda Salisbury King's Cage (Red Queen, #3) by Victoria Aveyard

Obviously I won't be able to read ALL of these but thought I'd list out what I found in case anyone finds something that strikes their fancy!

Re-reads are OK, right? --> They are if it's been at least 6 months since your last read.

V_Nerdbooks | 396 comments I'm trying to read as many of the authors that I want to meet in Rare18 (if I get tickets) so I can buy the paperbacks for them to sign.

Having to just pick a couple of Hoover and Fisher might be hard lol, also Kylie Scott is going to be there, so I definitely have to get Lick and Mal's book for her to sign.

V read it before Valentine's Day so we can't use it in the challenge=(

message 492: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments We are getting closer!! There is only one card left in the UNO hand (a five) and my audiobook will work for that one.

Otherwise in the mini-challenge we have completed Part II and in Part I we need 16 more books....2 for part A (read by Valentine team this month).....5 for part B (Read a book your valentine team has read in Feb or added in Feb of any year).... and 9 for part C (Read a book your valentine team has read that was first published in Feb of any year). I currently have three books I will finish before the end of the month....one for each part so that leaves 13 books.

Do you guys think we can do it?!?


message 493: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer J. | 561 comments K~Terror....I noticed 34 Days isn't listed on the mini-challenge but it looks like you read it in the appropriate time frame. Are there any mini-challenges it would fit? Even if it's one in Part II I can move Too Late to Part I now because Nichole read it.

It would fit #12 in Part II since Charlie gave Anna a gift which was a quilt.
