R3: SS How to Play, Help, & Discussion

[Jenne]

I'll get to looking :)

[Cait S]

Thank you! We appreciate it :)

[Nicole]

Love the new profile pic Jenne!

[Jenne]

Thanks were getting "Halloweenie" around here lol :)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

For Cover "Red" which is at least 50%, does this cover make it? I know it kind of close.

[Shy The WidowMaker]

This may be a stupid question but would work as a book starting with a B? I wasn't sure if we count the A at the beginning of books or not?

[Shy The WidowMaker]

You know what I have another B book I need to read for a challenge so I am going to go with that.

From the rules:
For Titles: Only the first word of the title. A, An, And, and The do not count.
So if the letter is B: The Best Day would be ok. Dear Betty would not be ok.

[Jenne]

Shy yes, a the and don't count (awesome book btw)
Ezi the second one is plenty the king is super close but it's close enough I'd say go ahead.

[Shy The WidowMaker]

Thanks ladies I just wanted to make sure but I am going with another book instead but I know for future reference.

[Paris]

Jenne, if all reviews are posted by midnight central tonight, but I cannot roll until after that, are we okay to do that?

Thanks

[Jenne]

Only as a worst case scenario, see if someone on your team can.

That's already the plan. I guess we'll see how things work out. We have up to that point to use the free pass too right?

[Jenne]

Yup :)

[JoAnne]

Would this count as 50% black?

Stormy Persuasion by Johanna Lindsey

[Jenne]

JoAnne, that one would fall into the gray/silver category. I looked at the other editions and they're all the same cover.

Okay - thanks!

[Ora]

For item cover building(s), does it has to be the entire building or can it be part of it. I'm debating on a couple of books and want to know if will work or if I need more of a building on the cover.

[Jenne]

If will work, as long as you can see the building you're good :)

[Jenne]

It not if, autocorrect strikes lol.

[~Melissa~]

#55 alternative - even if the building(s) are in the background at the bottom of the cover.....

ex's:

[Jenne]

As long as you can see part (no matter the size) of a building(s) it'll work :)

excellent - just wanted to be sure before I made a 'final' pick :)

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

is 6.5 and is 160 pages. Would that work for 6th in series?

[JoAnne]

Will this fit a black cover?

Indelible Love - Emily's Story

[Jenne]

Yes and yes ;)

[JoAnne]

Thanks!

Now that we're nearing the end. Each team has the potential winning alternates under a spoiler tag in the alternate post of their threads. To win you must roll past 75 and you can either read the number you'd be on or the alternate for that spot. In the event of multiple teams having a shot at it, the winners would be whichever team finished first.

[Sheila]

Jenne our team landed on spot 60 this week so the alternate is 4 stars.

I'm not sure what the 4 stars refers to. Is that any book that has 4 stars in the description? I want to use The Yard by Alex Grecian

Will this work? Or does it have to be from that particular list?

Thanks

[Jenne]

I just took a peek at it, it's not on the 4 stars shelf, you're gonna love this, it's on the 4 star but not 4 stars....

[Sheila]

so does it work then? My link to more lists it is on didn't work?

[Jenne]

No it doesn't since it's not shelved 4 stars, sorry :(

[Nancy]

Jenne, could you let me know whether would work for an animal on the cover? It has a fox although it is quite small...

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

thanks

foiled by 1 letter. That sucks

[Jenne]

Yes it works NancyHelen :)

[Nancy]

Thank you :-)

[✿~Danielle~✿]

Is there enough black on this cover to count for black cover or is there too much blue.

[Jenne]

It has enough black :)

[✿~Danielle~✿]

Great, thanks. I'm reading it for SSS, so glad it works for this SS roll too.

[Amy]

is good for black cover?

[Jenne]

Yep =]

[Hilary]

Can I use this book as a stand alone? it is 200+ pages, but does have small illustrations here and there. It is not a graphic novel. The goodreads preview shows how big the illustrations are. I just want to make sure it is within the rules :)

[Jenne]

That would work.

[Book Concierge]

Would this work for "animal on cover" ...

[Jenne]

For sure BC =]

[Jenne]

Quick spot update
1 46
2 71
3 52
4 63
5 63
6 62
7 60
8 59
9 58
10 63
11 50
12 60
13 68
14 67

So teams 2, 13, and 14 have the potential to win next week if they roll a high enough number.

[Roger - president of NBR United -]

Yep I did some checking and let team 2 know how important next friday will be.
