25.6 -- Pamela3265's task: Let It Snow!

It seems like much of the U.S. was inundated with snow during the month of November. This task is inspired by the lyrics from “Let It Snow”.

Choose TWO different options below and read a book that meets the requirements for EACH option. This is a TWO book task.
REQUIRED: State which options you chose when you post.

Option A – “Let it snow”: Read a book whose author’s initials can be found in the song title “LET IT SNOW”.The initials for only the first and last names count for this task. Middle initials may be ignored. Letters can only be used as many times as they appear in “LET IT SNOW,” for example: an author with the initials TT will work but SS will not.

Option B – “The fire is so delightful…”: Read a book that has FIRE intact in the book title or subtitle. Ex: The Firefly Dance, A Firefighter in the Family, Catching Fire

Option C – “As long as you love me so…”: Read a book with Romance listed as a genre on the book’s main page. Embedded genres, such as Historical Romance or Paranormal Romance, will also work.

Option D – “All the way home I’ll be warm…”: Read a book that has an individual dressed for winter on the cover.
Ex.
REQUIRED: Include the cover when you post.

I wish I had snow :( it is just a sleety mess

[Morgan]

Could I get Romance genre noted for (which I'm thinking of moving here instead of where I was thinking of putting it. lol.)

Also just happy about Laini Taylor fitting the initials so I can cram more of her books in this season. :D

Thanks!

[Kim]

Does this qualify for option D?



Thank you.

[Ms.soule]

Does this work for Option D?

[Melissa]

This task is so stinking adorable. I love it :)

[Book Concierge]

Okay for Option D?

Thanks Pamela!

Pamela, if I promise to read ALL 3 of these books and get them ALL verified for length. Can I read The Fetish Box, Part One: Open All Night - Romance 6 users, The Fetish Box, Part Two: What Escapes - Romance 8 users and The Fetish Box, Part Three: What Remains - Romance 5 users?

[Pamela]

According to the rules:

3. Books must have at least 100 pages to be used for points in the SRC. This limit may be referenced as 100+.
Only plays or books of poetry may be combined to reach the 100 page minimum. Other genres of books must meet the 100+ page requirement on their own.


I'm going to have to say no.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Pam, can I have The Letter - Sandra Owens? Which has Romance > Historical Romance 18 users and the author's initials are in: let it SnOw

[Pamela]

Fiona (Titch) wrote: "Pam, can I have The Letter - Sandra Owens? Which has Romance > Historical Romance 18 users and the author's initials are in: let it SnOw"

This would work for either Option A or Option C. This is verified as romance.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Pam, don't laugh. I read this as a 2 book option lol x

Aw, darn, I read it that way, too! Back to work! :p

[Melissa]

Hrrmmmm, ok.

To make sure I understand this...If I read The Elusive Bride by Stephanie Laurens that would fulfill this task because Romance is the top genre on the main page and S and L are in the Let It Snow song title?

[Paula]

Hello! Let me see if I understand... Do we have to read ONE book that meets TWO of the options you gave? If I read Fire in the Blood by Irène Némirovsky, which fullfills option A (author initials I. N.) and B (word Fire in the title) will be ok? Thank you!

[Teresa Jo]

This isn't a two book task? Oops, back to the planning.

OK, No Turning Back by Tiffany Snow should work for Options A (author's initials of TS) and C (Romance)?

This is a TWO BOOK TASK. All of the 25 and 30 point tasks are two book tasks.

[Melissa]

Thanks for clarifying Sandy. :)

[Paula]

Yes, thank you! I got really confused.

[♞ Pat]

Here's my plan -

Option A - Author's Initials in Let It Snow
The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich

Option C - Romance
Christmastime 1940: A Love Story by Agnes Irene

[Teresa Jo]

OK, good to clarify, back to my original plan. :)

[Mindy]

Okay for Option D? The person is small but appears to be wearing a hood, boots, and scarf.

[Val]

Please verify A Midsummer Night's Dream for romance.

[KSMary]

Opt D:
Wasn't sure about this one though: - looks like fur trimmed winter coat...

[Victoria]

Here are some authors that seem to fit Option A for anyone not feeling like doing the work:
Ellen Stimson
Sophie Littlefield
Erik Larson
Tawni O’Dell
Edan Lepucki
Neal Stephenson
Stewart O’Nan

Thanks Book Concierge for seeing my error! Fixed.

Option D is a cover option ... I'm sure you mean Option A ... author initials found in LET IT SNOW

Because the image is a silhouette, you really can't tell what he's wearing. I enlarged the book cover on Amazon and the strip hanging from his neck is part of the rope attached to the sled he's pulling. I'm going to have to say no on this one, sorry.

[Pamela]

Valerie wrote: "Please verify A Midsummer Night's Dream for romance."

Verified

[Pamela]

Either of these work.

[Susan]

Susan W.

Would this work for Option D? Although she isn't wearing boots, she has on a coat, hat, and she's holding a fur muff as well.

[♞ Pat]

I've read this book. I will guarantee that where this book takes place is COLD! In fact, the whole family is in danger of freezing to death!

Thank you! Oh dear...it does sound a bit sad from what Pat says. I'll still read it though :)
