Yes you can Lisa. You don’t need to finish it and do all the questions in the same week 😉

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Oh great. I'm enjoying it and looking forward to the discussion questions.

[Tina ❣]

It might still be a bit early, but is there any need to read for a specific letter yet? Or is it too early to tell?

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Still a bit early. We seem to be covering everything well - and being a small word it is a bit easier also I think!

[Tina ❣]

Okie dokies. Thanks Karen!

That's true. Small words definitely are easier :P

I think it is fine to finish this week and finish the questions next week, especially if you do some of the questions this week as well.

[Suzanne]

Our word for next week is:
BROWN

(Note: I saw that least some Dan Brown books have the genre "brown". Go figure.)

[Lexi]

How is Brown a genre?

[Suzanne]

Good question.. Anyway - for the "Genre" points it has to be tagged "brown" either on the main page or on the first page of top shelves. But yeah, I wouldn't call it a genre either.

I can do the genre one if nobody else has a book they are wanting to read for that. I'm also ok not doing it :)

[Suzanne]

Oh and for "brown" on cover - we look for a brown colored cover - we can check them with the tin-eye app to be sure they are brown enough.

[Lexi]

I thought it had to be MPG. There are no MPG brown, I looked but there are lots of first page genre brown so that is much easier.

[Lexi]

You could read Dan Brown, Sandra Brown or Rita Mae Brown.

[Suzanne]

Yes, they (thank goodness) opened it up to allowing it to be on the first page of top shelves - phew.

Pierce Brown may be on there as well. But I haven't looked :)

[Lexi]

I can read brown in title - Brown Girl in the Ring.

[Lexi]

I just looked and oddly enough, no one use Brown as a tag with him.

[Allison Ann]

Is the colour cover over 50% or more than that?

[Suzanne]

It's 50% or more for the cover colour.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I've got a Sandra Brown - that I'm reading next week in a buddy read. How serendipitous is that!

I just checked - it's tagged top shelves Brown-Sandra and Sandra-Brown so I'm not sure if that will count . Nothing just Brown.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Can someone check this one for me for brown cover

[Lexi]

I am pretty sure it has to be just Brown but will let someone else have a say. Also, Tin Eye is reading your book as a black background so 56% black.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Wow, struck out twice, LOL. Thanks Lexi for checking.

[Suzanne]

I'm pretty sure it has to be just Brown as well. Darn, so close.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

How about this one for brown cover ?

[Lexi]

43% Brown and 44% Black and 9% red.

[Lexi]

I can read this one - (60% brown) if no one else has one but I am unsure how much I will be able to read next week with the Holidays.

[Suzanne]

I'll try to look too when I can. My internet is down. So annoying

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Darn. Okay, this is my last attempt, LOL - Brown, yay or nay...

[Suzanne]

Dang I tested and then met crashed again. I'm pretty sure that would work. Its 43% chocolate brown and 40% seal brown (black). And I think 10 out of 10 people would look at that cover and say its brown. Karen would know for sure though.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I’m on my app so hard to say, but I’ll take the covers to the captains group when I’m next on a computer.
We only use tineye as a bit of a guide (it is not always accurate), so the captains can overrule it if we have some other captains agree to the cover

[Suzanne]

Yeah that last one, especially enlarged, really looks brown. It's so hard to see those tiny things on the app :) I had a brief 5 min of internet before it went out again, and on my actual computer it looks brown :)

It looks brown to me. I'll double check with captains group

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Ok, we have a GO for as a brown cover if you can read that next week Lisa :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I can read which has 4 tags of "brown" on the first page.
It is book 18 in the series and I've never read any of them, but I'm sure it will be fun. LOL. For some random reason I have it on my kindle. Someone must have sent it to me

I do read that series and I'm on Whisker of Evil which also works for W if you don't want to read a random cat & dog person cozy mystery. :)

Oh perfect, thanks! It does look interesting, but I prefer to start series from the start :)
I'll put you down for brown genre!

Yay, finally success. Yes, I'll read it next week. I will only be able to read three books next week as we have our youngest Grandson's Baptism at the end of the week we have to travel to then a family weekend.

I keep hearing good things. But... tbh...I wasn't really wowed by her "The Nightingale" which everyone else raved about so I'll a little gun shy. Have you read other things by her?

Great!
And that sounds like a busy week ahead. I hope the baptism goes well :)

[Chava]

I loved the great alone too. So glad you enjoyed it!!

[Tina ❣]

I just watched Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelward. Has anyone seen it? I'm not okay

Will anyone go and see it?

The end. Omg the end D:<

[M]

I plan on going to see it. So excited!

No problem. I have trouble reading series out of order too. If I read the first 2-3 at least, then I don't mind as much. But starting at #18 might not be as enjoyable. :D

[M]

I was going to read Assassins Apprentice also. It is one of my favorite series

This was my first reading and I loved it. Except the dog killing. Please tell me that doesn't continue through the series.
