15.3 - The Ruby Slippers

[SRC Moderator, Moderator]

15.3 - The Ruby Slippers
Option 1. Read two books:
Book 1 – read a book whose title/subtitle contains the name of one of seven precious gemstones: diamond, pearl, ruby, sapphire, emerald, catseye, and alexandrite. Plurals and possessives may be used - no other variations.
AND
Book2 - read a book with a pair of shoes on its cover. These can be any sort of footwear - slippers, pumps, boots, flip flops - and they can be empty or with feet in them, but there must be a pair of the same shoes. REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.

OR
Option 2: Read one book that satisfies the requirements for both books of Option 1.

cool.

I'm working from a motel room, with a lousy laptop and cranky internet. I'll deal with this when I get home tomorrow.

nine was an error - only 7.

[Katrisa]

Do the shoes have to be like most of the cover or is it ok as long as there is a visible pair? Will this work?

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

As the task states, a pair of shoes. This is a pair of shoes.

Good...as I was trying to figure out what the other two would be. LOL.

Is this one ok? The front shoe is partially obscuring the back shoe so I just want to make sure.

I can see a pair - good to go!

[Lauren]

Thanks!

I almost skipped right over this one because it's a kids book, but much to my surprise AR Bookfinder says IL: MG - BL: 7.5 - AR Pts: 9.0.

How perfect is this?!
The Emerald City of Oz

I'm not sure if I'll use it because I had another book in mind, but I had to share this one.

[Aprilleigh]

Please verify Cat in a Sapphire Slipper for a pair of shoes.

I have learned to ask...lol

Can you see her shoes/slippers?

As far as I can see, her picture on the bookcover cuts off a little below the knees - I don't see anything in the foot area. If you're seeing feet/shoes, please tell me where.

[Joanne]

Sorry, I clicked on the wrong link, it's the hardcover I have

ok, I can see her shoes in that one.

[Andy]

. Are the shoes on the man's feet clear enough to pass muster. They are pretty clear in the hardcover, but might not meet your requirements so I thought I had better ask

good to go - I can clearly see shoes!

[Carlos]

Is this ok? You can see a pair of yellow boots in the second to last object from the last column

yes. Be sure to point the boots out when you post, to make it easier for me!

Morning. Could you confirm that this works for Book 2. I see shoes on the ghost.


Thanks.

Went to the library this morning to pick up for Book 1. To my surprise, the library paperback had this cover:


I'm not sure it's entirely healthy to get that excited over a pair of shoes on a book cover. LOL

[Jen K]

Are the shoes, especially on the little girl, clear enough for the prompt or too obsure?

I'm sorry - even when I went to amazon and made it really big, I was not able to see a pair of shoes, only one, on either person.

No problem! Thanks for trying!

It's a bit dark but if you look closely of an enlarged pic, she's wearing a pair of wedge shoes...?

Great! Thanks :)

Can you see enough of the booties on the person sitting in ? Or does one foot obscure the other one?
(I have someplace else to use this, but wanted to check in case I want to move it.)

I can see both feet with the booties.

Yay! I've got this one on my kindle.

[Jen B]

It kinda looks like they are on two different dancers' feet, but I think it is the reflection. Will this work as a pair?

That will work - I can see two sets of two, when I go to amazon and make it really big.

[Julia]

Please verify that this shows enough of both shoes

I see shoes. However, please keep in mind the Childrens book rules.
