For -
Entertainment: Yay Task - Read a book that was made into a tv show, tv series, or tv movie.

If a series has been made into a TV show, but they aren't up to that book yet in the TV show but it's being made, would that work?

Eg: The Amber Spyglass is book 3 of His Dark Materials. Books 1 and a bit of 2 are in season 1, there is at least a season 2, which will probably start crossing into book 3 but it's not out until late this year -

As long as the series has started, you're good.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

Awesome! Thanks Janice.

I thought that would be the easiest for you to track (as who has time for that?) but always good to double check!

Hi Janice,

Can be used for Yay History (purple cover)? Is it enough?

[Janice, Moderator]

I used tineye, and it is apparently 44.7% magenta. The rest is either black or pink. So I guess the answer is no.

Ok, for street on the cover:

Is the street clear enough to count?

Does suburban count as urban?

Thanks!

Yes to both of them.

Hi Janice. When you put into tineye, does it read red? Can I use it for History Yay 75% red cover please? It's the last in the Women's Murder Club and would be a series kill for me.

It's about 79% so you are good to go.

Yes.

For Science - Nay - Musical instrument on the cover - Would the reed flute Menolly is playing be prominent enough, or were you looking for more of a stand alone instrument? Dragonsong

I'm going to say no to this one. It's not prominent enough because it gets lost in the busyness of the cover. I had to really look to see it.

[Jenn]

I was wondering lol It definitely has a psychedelic 70’s feel to it

I have the first book to the Pern Series, Dragonflight. I would like to get to that series soon, but it never seems to rise to the top of the pile.

[Jenn]

I read a bunch of that series many years ago, and love her writing ❤️ full of strong capable women, without going too far

[Cherie]

Jenn,
I agree about the women characters, but I loved the dragons and even more, the history of the world and the early settlers that was rolled out in the later stories. I was fascinated for years, waiting for the next books to be published. I totally was in love the Master Bard too. McCaffrey's stories were works of love. I cannot think of one that I did not like. I can still remember reading The White Dragon, which was the first published book. I think my copy fell apart, I read it so many times.

I couldn't agree more Cherie :) Her writing is so all encompassing that you can actually forget that you are reading fiction and get completely immersed in her world - Love, love, love :) Definitely one of the greats for me!

You guys convinced me! These books are now on my TBR! I think I am like 50/50 split on fantasy and lit fic as my favorite genres

[Renee]

I love the Dragon rider books I need to get back to them. I never finished the series

Hi Janice - For Science: Yay - The word of one of the following types of spiders is in the title: Wolf, Cellar, Huntsman, Widow, Crab, or Grass. Can I use Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants for the word grass?
I think I know the answer, but I so want this book to do double duty for a challenge in my nonfiction nerds group lol

Sorry, no. You can use plurals, but not imbedding words.

Fair enough, I will try to find another home for it, and I am sure it will be an interesting read regardless :)

[Janice, Moderator]

It looks interesting.

[Jenn]

It does, I wonder if the shoes are noticeable enough for that task?

[Cherie]

Jenn wrote: "It does, I wonder if the shoes are noticeable enough for that task?"

For you, I hope so, Jenn.

If I had not already finished that task, I might have been tempted by your book too.

Go for it! I'll allow it. :)
