Before poor Carmen..."
It's a good one, enjoy :)
I brought up Stephanie Plum yesterday and was shot down. Apparently she’s a bounty hunter and finding criminals isn’t enough to make someone a detective. I haven’t read mine yet so I can’t really have an opinion but my team gave the task to someone else rather than risk me and my Plum book. It’s a shame because I had pulled it out for its cover last week but it didn’t work then either.
Awesome! Thanks Judith 😁Beth that’s what I thought too. I forgot she was bounty hunter but GR also needs to fix it too because they have her as a detective 😑
I am no longer a Chris Pine fan because he wanted too much money for another Star Trek movie and is therefore denying me another chance to see Keith Urban as Dr. McCoy.
There are a lot of books with non-detective heroes on various detective related shelves. I was looking at goodreads police procedural shelf and it had all kinds of cozies and the like on there which are definitely not police procedural.

I was wondering what was taking so long for the next Star Trek movie to come out. Damn. I would like to see Bones again on the big screen too.

I blame Abrams, myself.

He played Kirk's dad in the first one. Yum.

exactly, he played Kirk's dad in the first 5 minutes of the 1st movie. And the plot for the 4th movie involved them somehow being alive on the same timeline. But they both walked away because of money

I hope that is an alphabetical list, and not ordered by magnitude of trouble! ;)
Would the title page count as "in the text," and would
work for Read a book with a skull or other poison logo on the cover and that contains the word POISON in the text?
Hmm. I would sort of be willing to accept the image on the cover as being a poison logo, even though it is not technically a logo, because it is so obviously supposed to represent poison.But I would not accept the title page as being “in the text”. Are you sure the word does not appear in the actual text?

I haven't checked the text yet. Thought I'd ask about the title, just in case. If you're willing to accept the poison bottle, I'll check the text.
You should wait for a couple more opinions, but yeah, I am a yes, provided word is in text :)
The word is in the text.The skull and crossbones is pretty much the only poison logo, so when it said other poison logo I tried to think outside the box.
If I understand correctly, you are asking if the bottle counts as the logo?
Yep. it's obviously meant to be a bottle of poison... :)
You all are awesome!!! Thanks Alysa, Lexi, Lau Maia & Sammy.
Will you consider this for yellow (blond hair)?

Sorry Carmen, I say no to the blond too.

It looks more like a brown than a yellow, sorry Carmen.
Asked on the other thread too but might as well check here:
Do 2 swords and flying jagged pieces of an exploding planet count for "spiky/prickly things on cover?"
Mod
No view on the two swords though - they look more broadsword slashing than rapier spiking at first glance.
Are teeth, such as dinosaur teeth (i.e. t-rex) or dragon teeth spiky enough? 
or

I vote yes. I would think any sword would count as spiky, even if they're not rapiers.
Lexi wrote: "Are teeth, such as dinosaur teeth (i.e. t-rex) or dragon teeth spiky enough?"It would depend on the teeth, but in those two covers I would say yes.

Thank you
Just to check, in the echidna challenge...ANY book on that I saw the movie listopia, or only those that also meet pre-discussed criteria for challenge? I ask because that list has a LOT of children's and middle grade fiction and comic books.
Wouldn't it be fun to read a 30 page children's book for this? I'm for it, but My guess is that it has to meet the 100 page count and the 25,000 word count for children's books.
i thought they said before that you can read anything on the list but we'll see how they reply. i was also wondering as i was considering reading a graphic novel
Must have missed that post. It will be a race to see who can find the reference...go!!!!!
I really do not think so since last time when you could they wrote it out in the description (- from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die List. For this task, you can use books that would otherwise not be allowable for the challenge (e.g. due to wordcount or genre))
Spiky? Particularly the wings on that gargoyle.

Sitting/lying on grass is prickly to me. Especially if you're wearing shorts/skirt/dress

Duh. I totally missed the dagger, lol! Thanks!

I say yes.
Would the pine trees on the cover of this book count as prickly? I consider pine trees prickly, but wanted to double check just to be safe
Laila Jane wrote: "Would the pine trees on the cover of this book count as prickly? I consider pine trees prickly, but wanted to double check just to be safe"I would say so.
