because, according to TinEye, there's 68.6% black and 4% grey, which adds to 73%, which means less than 30% is a light colour ..."Oh yay thanks! XD Handy! In that case I'll count Sandcastle Empire :)
Hi Ezi - the second one is fine as well...
Yep - that one is fine as well Fran!!
I’m going to say no Anna ~ I think the cover is a bit too bright. The blue isn’t dark enough to counter the pink. :(

That’s fine Danielle :)

"Yes to both :)"
Thanks!
Would this count as a dark cover?
It looks more dark than light to me
Hi Suzanne ~ happy that one works :)
Would this work Jane? Over half is darker but the blue might be too light?
or this one
Hi Tink - Yes to the first since there is no other lighter colour competing with that blue (and I can’t call that blue ‘bright’); but no to the second...
not sure this is dark enough to count... not sure!
ok dokey!Jane (PS) wrote: "That’s fine FKatz :)"

Thank you Jane!! 😘
Jane, J.C. hasn't been around all week. I reached out to her today to make sure she's okay.
Jane, I heard back from JC. She's pretty sick and hasn't been up to reading. She knows she's a couple of books behind and said she would probably have to play next time. I'm not sure what you want to do but I wanted to let you know.

Jane, you know our time changed here in the States. It's 5:08pm right now 😇
She actually rallied and made it. Yay JC.

LOL. Shhh...

Not to mention the fact that if the time had changed this weekend we'd be going the other direction and have to wait even LONGER!!! =P
Stacie wrote: "She actually rallied and made it. Yay JC."Yay!! Great to hear JC is back with us :D
It was worth a try :o)Karen, I'm so looking forward to my extra hour of sleep, but I was hoping Jane didn't realize the time was Falling Back, not Springing Forward.
I guess I can wait a couple of more hours.

It was ALMOST a good gambit ~ I don't move time in my state, so all the time changes confuse the hell out of me! But I DO know that the calls at either at 8am or 9am Saturday my time. So 7am just didn't cut it ;)
J.C. wrote: "Sorry been sick!! Still feeling yucky but getting a little better. Hopefully a few more days and start feeling better."Hope you get better quickly Jen!!
J.C. wrote: "Time go backs and hour tonight?? Or tomorrow night??"LOL! LOL! J.C. I'm sorry. I was playing with Jane.
Time Falls back Sunday, November 5th.
An early call since Chan is so desperate ;)Week 9
Option 1
14. Time to work together to get to King Kandy first!
The team needs to spell out 'Candy Land' as much as they can by reading a book whose title starts with one of those letters. You cannot use the same letter. However for the letters that are found twice (A, N and D), two members may use the same letter.
(Obviously some letters won't be used since there are a total of nine letters and only 5/6 team members.)
Captains, please set out this week's post with the letters in the order of their spelling for each of the books read.
Option 2
Key date: 5 May 2017
Please ensure you follow the format shown in msg 3 of your team threads. when you post your selection and completion posts.
Captains - If you have a member who hasn't shown up this week, or is late with completion posts, please include them in your letter allocation and if they are removed, we'll ignore their allocated letter.Good luck everyone!

Yeah, I knew what you were going for Chan, but since you'd already been shot down I couldn't resist throwing in my comment. I'm looking forward to the time change too, but not so much for the extra hour of sleep. I just live far enough north that I'm taking my dog out in the morning in the dark, and it's not like I get up crazy early...this morning it was almost 8:00 before it was getting reasonably light. I generally dread the time change (in either direction), and I'm not looking forward to getting my internal clock reset, but it will be nice to have it light a little earlier in the mornings!
If a player is going to use Option #2, does that mean they don't need to worry about using a letter in Candyland?
SandyL wrote: "If a player is going to use Option #2, does that mean they don't need to worry about using a letter in Candyland?"Yes. I hadn't thought of that, but just leave them off the spell task :)
Just to confirm, we can drop A, An, or The at the front of the title, correct? So for example, The Candyland Chronicles would count for the C.
