I answered in your team thread, but short answer for everyone - yes, your list can still be used.

Hey, Kat, for "Read 6 books with alliteration in the title or author's name" would you accept Tread Marks & Trademarks? It seems pretty alliterative to me, but the way the first part is two words, and the second part is one word . . . Anyway, thought I'd make sure before I started reading.

[Eugenia]

Hi Kat! Would this pass for alliteration (as a past English teacher, I vote, "Yes," but I want to check with you for confirmation.)
Enemy of My Enemy.

Hi Kat! We picked blue as the color we are all reading... is there enough blue on this cover to count?

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Ok Kat, another blue cover question. Two different covers for the same book, I lean toward one been too green and the other being too grey, but I'd love to be wrong! What do you think?

I've given this task to other teams and only allowed one word between the alliterated words, so I'm going to have to stick with that. (Even if it does sound right. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Way to add the guilt of you being a teacher! But like I said above, when I've given this task to other teams I only allowed one word, so I'm going to stick with that.

Remember, the alliteration can be in the author's name too.

Yes, the first is too green. I was hoping the second was ok from the thumbnail, but when I opened it I could tell it was just gray, not a blueish gray. Sorry. ☹️

Oh well, it was worth a try! Thanks, Kat!

Had to go to the team thread to check, the link here wasn't working. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The Kindle edition listed on GR has a bonus novel, but isn't available on Amazon - that's weird. You are good how you have that posted.

Because of the hyphen, I'm going to say no to that one.

I know what you mean! The book I just read for the current task was so bad, by the time I finished it I didn't even want to use it any more. But nuts to that! I read the dumb thing, so I used it.

Hey, MK...for a "location" book, can we use one that has 2 locations listed on the main page? I'm looking at the NYC one, and there's also an "x-nyc" tag on page 3. (Reader uses x, z & q for categories.)
