Gotcha. OK.

Denise, I used TinEye Labs for . It says it's 31.4 % black. Will it work for black cover?

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

I have to agree with TinEye on this one. Too much grey/red/brown going on to count for black cover. (I'd have okayed it for grey cover, just for future reference.)

A Season of Love: The Meddling Duke Collection 153pgs

Does this collection work for 0? (Spot 80) It is comprised of 2 novellas (each less than 140 pages) that are #1 and #2 in a series

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

We're generally going by how GR has a book listed for what number it counts as. Since it doesn't list this as belonging to a series, you can use it as a standalone for 0. As it's also an anthology, you'll need to review both novellas.

Thank you!

Congrats to the winners!

After a hard-fought battle, Team 5 "Fantastic Five" has claimed victory for this round - a doubly impressive feat given that they had to sit out rolls twice over the course of the game and lost one of their teammembers as well. Nicely done!

Team 1 "Breakneck Bibliophiles" came in a close second, managing to finish all their books in less than a day - albeit just a little too slow to snatch the win out from under Team 5 - in a last minute bid for the top spot.

Thank you all for playing - I hope you had as much fun as I had!

Like 25 minutes too late!

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

I know... ;_; So close! Still, getting all five reviews in in less than a day was pretty damn impressive. :)

[Maddie]

XD It was a rush!

[Theo]

Whew, that was a stressful round, especially watching Team 1 get so close at the end. Y'all made it exciting!

Thanks for taking on the challenge of hosting, Denise. It's been a blast!

[Maddie]

That's for sure, definitely joining every year!

Thank you for such a challenge round!
