Will this qualify for mostly white cover:
- the red def pulls the attention and the blue border as well, so not 100% sure.

For reading a book with a certain object on the cover, does it have to be on the front cover, or could it be on the back cover of the book?I have a book with a fence on the back cover, which was what prompted this question.
Mod

It has to be on the front cover.
On a book that we haven't read before, does that mean ever or prior to Goodreads existing we read it, but never marked it on Goodreads? Like for example, if I were to read James and the giant peach now, would it count even if I read it back in 1980-something? I'm genuinely curious. So I'm fine either way.
It would be nice to be able to re-read books for this challenge if say... it's been at least 10 or 20 years since we've read the book. I can't remember many of the books from my youth so reading them again would feel like reading them for the first time.
Mod
Well, it's really no rereads at all; but, I can see how a book that you read so long ago is almost like a new-to-you read. If it has been at least 10 years since you last read it, go ahead and post. :)
Thanks Melanie! That helps me. I'm like Monique, a book read as a child unless it's one of my all time faves (Wrinkle in Time, Charlotte's Web) would be almost like reading a new book.
Mod
Would a book entitled "The Queen's Poisoner" work for the category where you have to read something with a profession in the title?My partner is asking, and I didn't know the answer. ;)
Mod
Okay, thanks, Melanie. ;) I'll get back with her.
Hello - I have a quick question!One of my categories for the challenge is: "read a book with a man and woman on the cover"
I'm reading Lord Tony's Wife right now (listening to the audio version)
The audio version on Librivox features a cover with a pimpernel on the front
But certain editions (like the paperback edition) feature a man and woman on the cover.
Could I count this book for the category "featuring a man and woman on the cover" - or would that not be acceptable?
Mod
Oh, Alli, I just ordered a copy of that one! I'm interested in the answer to this, since some review copies lack covers entirely...
Mod
Thanks! Yes...especially with indie authors who announce covers after giving out review copies. :)
I just picked up some large print Christian fiction books at a library sale. Wondering if one would work for the 400+ pages category. They of course have more pages since they are large print - and that totally feels like cheating to me. Want the official answer tho. Thanks!

For category with a hat on the cover... just a hat? Or someone wearing a hat work?
Mod
Melanie wrote: "It is fine if someone is wearing the hat. :) a hat just needs to be on the cover somewhere."Thanks Melanie!
Hey Melanie! So, I just finished reading
for the "read a historical novel" category, but I just realized it's not exactly a novel! It's a 105 pages long.Would it still work for that category, or should I read something else? :)

Melanie wrote: "R.A. wrote: "Hey Melanie! So, I just finished reading for the "read a historical novel" category, but I just realized it's not ex..."Okay! :):)
Melanie, would this cover work for a mostly green cover?
Mod
Melanie, can I use this book for review
It is a journal type book to do with a child. I read each of the entries and love it.
HUGS
Mod
Do you consider this enough of a fence? The gate is visible but the rest overgrown.
Mod
"yes
This one is kinda greenish, but is this cover blue enough to count for "mostly blue cover"?
Mod
"I think it is more green, but if you think it looks blue enough you can count it. The color ones are hard to judge. :)
They are! I have a water challenge in another group and was hoping to fit it somewhere, but it looks greener on here than in person. It's a weird one. We'll see if I get to it or not. :)Ah! Here's a better blue water one.
Mod
Ah! Here'..."
Yes, that one is definitely blue. :) I really enjoyed that book.
Good to know! I love the cover.(Kinda pathetic, the things I find under that "older than three months" tab on NG)
It's a gorgeous cover, and my sister just gave me that book for my birthday! I hope you enjoy it, Hannah.
No questions...just wanted to thank you for putting this together. I have had a blast working on this....so much so that I printed off another list of all the categories to work on by myself over the next few years. Great fun! Thank you for all the time you put into this. I appreciate it - and you - a lot. Emily is reading the last book on the list and then we're done. WooHoo!!! Again - thanks so much for giving me so much reading enjoyment.
Mod
Hey Melanie, I was wondering if
would work for *Read a book with a mostly black cover We were thinking it might look a little blue, but what do you think? Thanks! =)
Will
work for *Read a book with a fence on the cover..?
Mod
If I have a book in the YA category already can I move it to a different category or does it have to stay in that category now?
Mod
Would this book
count for the fireworks/fire category?
Did you mean to post that in the Reading through the Holidays thread?
