Hi guys, can I possibly argue that with the costuming on the woman and the lettering, yellow is fifty percent of this cover, which has been allowed with previous books and by which rule I figured this would be ok. There also isn't any other colour on this cover apart from a little bit of brown.
There's not a lot of yellow on her dress. If the dress had been entirely yellow along with the lettering I'd of okayed it. I'll ask the other mods and get a majority vote.

I think arguing that yellow is 50% is a huge huge stretch. There's no real yellow on that dress. There are listopias with yellow covers if one needs help picking a book. I would certainly recommend a book if the teammate needs help, but I think Jenne called this one right and most importantly fair.
It's all good. I understand. I might drop out and let one of the alternate people join my group. I've already started reading Timeless and as I work full time most of my reading / library trips are done on the weekend. I won't get a chance to complete another whole new book from listopia and that's not fair on my team. Thanks for letting me play :)

The book doesn't need to be from listopia as long as it meets the alternate choice it can be anything and 0/1 can be stand alones or the number of a series. If your team rolls on Friday that doesn't give you the time?
Unfortunately not, Joanne. Being in Australia works against me this time. When this conversation was happening, it was already Sunday night for me. :/
ohhhhhhhhhhhh - sorry, didn't realizeI forgot that this is a world wide challenge and that teams are made up from all over the world.
Haha, yeah, it's easy to forget on this side of things. I have to force myself to remember that I'm able to post up my review immediately after work on a Friday afternoon and it's still going to be in on time for your Thursday midnight :)

Jenne our team doesn't want Nicole to leave us and since it is only Monday could I read a second book this week and we count it for Nicole?
Sorry we can't read for one another on this game. Books only need to be a 150 pages maybe she can find a super short one?
Sheila does your team have your free pass? Can you use it this week in place of a review from Nicole?

Oh, good. I was hoping she wouldn't have to drop out.
You've all been so lovely. I'm so happy to have found such a beautiful group of people. Will be sure to b very careful in picking for next week!

Jenne, I'm back from my holiday on Saturday. Did you want me to join a group now?
Yep and I'll also need one more back up if anyone has a friend in mind let me know :)B you'll be on the erratic sugar muffins team.
Okie dokie. I'll go introduce myself....
Denise I'm looking for a backup for y'all too :)
Jenne, about Free Pass - was this one time possibility to earn it only on week 1?
No you can earn it at anytime if you haven't already. There was one team I was trying to remember yesterday that I needed to check that out, guess it was y'all lol. Off to get it set up :)
Jenne I would be happy to be on a second team since I generally read 3 or more books a week anyway.
That's like a conflict of interest lol. If you'd like to be on backup for SSS though let me know. As of right now we don't need any back up players for it yet, but you never know.
Lol Sheila, this is my first time doing both versions and it's not as tough as I thought it would be. The biggest thing is just making sure you keep which is which straight.
No I just thought if you had an immediate need on a SS team that I would be happy to step in until you found a new player.
Mod
I can play on two SS teams (like Sheila). I am versatile like that :D
So plug me in somewhere if you need me
It really is a conflict of interest lol :)
Mod
I won't tell anyone
I was just reading through this challenge thinking that it would be a long time before the next round started, drat! So if you are still looking for a replacement player, I'd love to join. I can read a book/week no problem and I'm in the middle of 90 billion series. As long as no one expects me to be awake at midnight to roll anything, I'm good to go. :D
I guess I'm not seeing the conflict of interest. This really isn't a strategy based game. It's all in the roll of the dice and since I'm not a captain I have no control over that. But I bow to your wishes Jenne.Just know that Ezi and I are willing to help out if you need us. :)
Allison team 10 it is :)I appreciate it Sheila, it would be awkward being on two teams in the same game. It's not strategy based at all so I see where you're coming from :)
With Allison joining we're all filled up too :)

What a slacker :) I'm glad you could join us.
Coolio, thanks Jenne.Sheila wrote: "ONLY 90 billions series Allison? What a slacker :) I'm glad you could join us. "
Well you know, summer is my busy season so I cut back a bit. Give me a month or so and I'll be up to speed.

Dear Nicole, this may be coming late for your team and you, but this book is a "yellow cover" and it is free today on amazon in case you want to snag it for a future read.

Jenne, for stand-alone, does it have to be a novel or could you read a book of short stories like Close Range: Brokeback Mountain and Other stories? Just need to get confirmation so I can decide my book.
Yes you can but you'll have to read and review the entire thing.
Jenne wrote: "Yes you can but you'll have to read and review the entire thing."Yes, of course - happy to do that. Will I need to write something individually on all 11 stories or is it OK to do an overall review of the book?
Lightly touch on all 11, pain in the rear I know...

Hi Jenne!Is it possible to get a stand in player for one week? Team 6 is going to be short a member for the week of October 10-17.
