I downloaded it. Page 1 until they land in Brazil is 28 percent and then they leave Brazil at 78 percent which implies 50 percent is in Brazil. The story ends at 97 percent so it is actually just over 50 percent but I will leave the ruling to you.

Thanks!

Some ideas for Australia - can you tell me if they are purple enough?


And for North America?

Yes it looks like part of her name is red

The other two look more orange to me so they will not work.

I rolled a 5, 4, 2

Here are the books I'm planning on reading:

2 -- Europe (hopefully primarily set in Sweden), blue (background)-- reading kindle edition but paperback edition has 455 pp

4 -- Africa, orange (hues in road) Appears to be three stories all set in African countries (Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria) so hope that's okay. Also, if approved for this task, please also note does not have 'children' or 'kids' as a main page genre -- 384 pp

5 -- South America (Argentina), red (flowers) -- 256 pp

Total pages 1095

Thanks!!

Keep checking back Coralie. There are quite a few choices now and I am sure that there will be more.

Those are good choices.

[Kim]

The numbers I rolled are 4, 3, 5. Will these work?

Africa (orange) -

North America (yellow) -

South America (red) -

Two of the three authors are new to me and the total page count is 1231.

Thank you.

[♞ Pat]

Is there enough purple in the sunset to count for Oceania?

Thanks so much!

It's rare that I look at my draw on a 3-book task and can't find an option in my TBR or the help thread that I can use for any of them! I think it might be the first time I've worried about taking so long to find something that works that I won't have time to read it :).

Under Fishbone Clouds

Is the green trim on her gown sufficient for connection to ASIA?

[Pia]

Sorry to bother you again, but one of the "not approved" books got posted both in the ready for battle and mission cancelled threads. It's this one:



And the one that you approved is this one:

[Aleksandra]

Would be ok for North America ? A heart in the apple is yellow.

[Sheila]

Congratulations Bluemoon.

[Fandury]

Ok, this is really hard.
Also, it seems I'm followed by books set in Australia this season...

Will these two work for South America and Australia?

South America:



The red car and the red umbrella.


Australia:



There is some purple in the sky and the clouds.

[Trish]

Quick question. Is this edition of the Poisonwood Bible Orange enough for Africa: ? I see a different version listed, but this is the one I have.

Keep checking Jessica. I keep adding to approved books as I run across them. It does not have to be a lot of the color. Just something on the cover has to be that color.

Thanks

[Book Concierge]

For Europe
(ocean is blue) - set in Greece
or
(sky is blue - set in France

[Book Concierge]

North America
(yellow bridge) - set in California USA

OOPS ... I rolled 1,2,4 ... so I need Africa NOT North America ... well, maybe someone else can use this one

[Book Concierge]

For Africa
(camels are orange) - set in Kenya

[Kathy G.]

Would the words on this cover count for orange?

[Vicki Willis]

Please verify:

for Yellow/N. America - Are the clouds yellow enough?

for Yellow/North America - it is yellow enough?

For Blue/Europe It takes place in Europe/Scotland but spans two continents...

Thanks

[Andy]

Seeking approval for:
Europe- Blue - by Justin Go
South America- red by Julia Alvarez both author are new to me
Africa-Orange- by Tracy Kidder author I've read before.

Real concern is color of Africa book and South America Book is set in Dominican Republic . Do these things disqualify my choices?

[Andy]

In case anyone needs purple covers for Australia, by Patricia CarlonThere is a purple stripe on the page side of the book(opposite the spine) and the author's name is in purple. This author has a whole series of books (mysteries) with the purple stripe and author's name and they are all excellent. Sadly I didn't get Australia and I've already read everything she wrote.

If [bookcover:Letters from Skye|16127238] is at least 50% in Europe it will count. It sounds like most of it may take place in Europe. But I have not read this book. You will have to make that call if you decide to read it.

[Andy]

I just realized my Africa book won't work as it is set in the US (It was on a list of books set in Africa and I didn't check) So does this one work?

The Dominican Republic is listed in N. America not South so this book will not work for SA.




From the description of this it sounds as if some of it takes place in the US. But again if 50% takes place in Africa it works.

[Melissa]

If anyone has finished David Mitchell's , does at least 50% of that take place in Europe? I'm about halfway through and so far most of it is set in Europe somewhere but I'm not sure where Mitchell is going with the story. Thanks in advance!
