No I think it is more orange than red. Sorry

[Cheri]

Hi, Bluemoon, I have finished the task and just wanted to thank you for setting it up so well. It's a good task -- on theme, some but not too much effort to find appropriate books, and there are many available for all kinds of interests. Two things I especially appreciated: 1) That the page limit was for the total of the 3 books rather than 350 pages for each book. 2) The way you maintained your help thread, posting approved books at the top. Thank you!

[Sirena]

Would this edition of "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller, set in France, work? Is there enough blue?

Glad you enjoyed it Cheri. Thanks!! I am still working on finishing my last book for it.

Yes on my monitor it looks like there are shades of blue on the wall.

[Sirena]

Thank you. It's blue in person, but it looked a little lavender on my screen. :)

[Erika]

Hi! Just letting you know that is set a little over 50% in India!

[Cindy]

I am reading this book & I think the bottom of the cover is a shade of blue. It is set in Europe. Do you agree/approve?

Thanks for the heads up Erica. I will add it to the list.

Yes I see blue in there.

Is this yellow enough for North America?

Yes that will work. It sounds good too.

[Bekka]

Hello, again! sorry to keep asking for approvals - I keep changing my mind!

Is the water at the bottom blue enough for Europe? If you blow it up its pretty blue, and especially on Edelweiss:

(I like Edelweiss since they blow up so big! You can really see all the details.)

thanks!

No problem Bekka.

Yes that will work.

Hi, is this purple enough for Oceania? I'm not sure if it's just optimism on my part or whether it really is a shade of purple.

Looks purple to me as well. Enjoy!!

I wanted to find out if the blue in the dress on this cover would be enough?

[Hevabean]

Is the border on this one red?

Thanks

Just wanted to check on these cover's colorings. I'm linking to Audible's editions, since these are the editions I will be using.

Europe (blue): http://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-T...

North America (yellow): http://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fant...

Australia (purple - there's some on the right edge of the burst and looks like some purple lettering too): http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/Big...

Thanks!

Hi Bluemoon,

Just to let you know so you can remove it from the approved section of post #2 -- My Sweet Saga (approved in message #59 -- https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... ) did not end up being set predominately in Sweden. Approximately 30% of book was in Sweden and the other 70% in the United States or in the air between the two. Guess I will be using it for my 'Have another beer' task ;-)

Sorry it won't fit for you.

But thanks for the heads up.

Hi,
Please can you confirm The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is OK for North America, based on yellow lamp and location?
Thanks

I have not read this book. Setting on GR says it is set in the US and the Dominican Republic. If at least 50% is in the US it will work.

[Dee]

- enough yellow for North America?

Yes it is.

Will Station Eleven work for North America? The tents look yellow to me



Thanks

Yes that works.

[Andy]

I have just finished reading by Justin Go and can attest to the fact that well over 50% of the book takes place in Europe, mostly England, France, Sweden and Germany with a trip to Iceland thrown in. Most of the bits about Mt. Everest which is in Asia are found in letters that the main protagonist finds in Germany in his search to prove he is the legitimate heir to a substantial fortune. In addition there are maps of Europe on the inside of the covers both front and back and several blurbs by authors mention Europe or England as the setting for the book. Could I please have this book approved for Europe, since it has a blue cover and is by a first time author, which, by definition, is new to me?
Thanks

North America : Is the sunlight yellow (enough)? Is the brown floor made yellow (enough)in the sunlight ?


The Art Forger


Blue : Europe


One of Our Thursdays Is Missing

Purple : Australia


Diamond Dove


Awfully difficult if you're colour blind (but could be a funny book in itself)

are these acceptable for 50.1

[[deleted user]]

I am reading the folowing book for Europe because of the blue house on the right- but I wanted to make doubly sure it was enough blue :-)



Thanks!

I am not seeing yellow on so that one is a no.


The other two work.

I am not really seeing any orange on so that is a no.



The other two will work though.

Is there enough yellow in this cover for North America in ? From looking at the "approved" covers, I think so, but the yellow color is not as bright in the GR image. The house in the center is painted yellow (the one with the green roof), and the sand on the beach and one of the side walks is also yellow.
Thanks!
