I will plan on starting Incubus Dreams. Isla Madden-Mills have several books on KU. Dirty Englishis pretty good. Got to love a hero who loves Pride and Prejudice.

Hi :)I signed up for DQ August 2 x BOTM today. I can get them both with my audio subscription. If someone is watching those threads, could you let me know if I get picked? Since they are in August, I am kinda liable to forget. My memory is awful, so if someone notices something, I would appreciate a reminder :)

Feel like I'm slacking. I need to see what are August's BOMs are and if I can get them.

Spin the dawn and some Japanese historical fiction book. Really long one. But sounds kinda interesting :)
Now that I am back home I will see what books I can find for this rounds tags. I am really hoping The Zoo of China and Cinder will work for Asia.
Pachinko is the adult BOM. I’ve got a hold on the audiobook. I think I’ll be able to get it in time.
I just signed up for back up for Pachinko. I went ahead and checked it out now. It's suppose to be returned on Aug 2nd, however I can extend it for another week.Spin the Dawn is available at my library. I will wait until the beginning of August before I check it out.

My library is doing curbside pickups and Spin the Dawn is available at the library. I’ve been using the online lending library, but they don’t have the ebook. As we get closer to the date I’ll try and get a copy. I also signed up for back up on Pachinko DQs. Since I can only get a physical copy of Spin the Dawn I’m not going to sign up as back up because I don’t know if the library will still be open.
I didn't even think about signing up for DQ's for Spin the Dawn. I will do that now.
What website have some of you been using to check color percentages on covers?
You can use tin eye. https://labs.tineye.com/color/
Make sure you don’t exclude the background color. I think that might be a default setting.
Great to see you have been signing up for DQs! :) I'll definitely be reading Pachinko, I've had that on my TBR for years and now's the time this is happening!
I've added the links to the BOM discussion threads at the beginning for easier finding.

How much set does a book need to be to count? Is 1/3 set in a country enough?
Maddy wrote: "How much set does a book need to be to count? Is 1/3 set in a country enough?"Tricky question, but I would be tough on this one. I say it has to be at least 2/3 for a setting to count.
Maddy wrote: "Well bummer :D"Sorry! :)
Oh, it is alright, I will just use it for something else :)
