It works.

[Kathy G.]

I'm hoping one peach blossom is good enough
for option 1?

[Donna]

yes, it works...or the apple on the cover can be used for one of the other challenges.

[Claire]

Option 2: Wings of Fire by Charles Todd Mystery > Historical Mystery

Option 3: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank Autobiography > Memoir

Thank you!

May I use for option 1. The flowers are mainly around her ankles on the front cover. Also as of today there are no Childrens or kids in genres.

It works and I didn't see Chilrens or kids mentioned as a genre either.

I was thinking:

Option 2: Cold Mourning: A Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery - Brenda Chapman (11 Mystery Users)

Option 1: - Susan Hatler

Option 1: - ..."

both of those look fine. I even added Cold Mourning: A Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery to my TBR pile because that is one of my favorite genres.

[Jamie]

Does "Science Fiction Fantasy" work for Option 4 for the main page genre?

It's not embedded, but it's obviously a variation

Thanks!

The Land of Night is the book I am thinking of but the question is more generic

[Laura]

Perfect Laura.

- just sanity checking

[Donna]

Dee wrote: " - just sanity checking"

Your book can be used for option 1 or option 4.

[Berls]

I'm wondering if the roses on her dress would count on this cover for option 1?

[Donna]

Yes. It counts. Happy reading.

[Berls]

Fantastic! Thank you :)

[Rijuta]

Hi! Will this book Wolf Hall count for OPtion #1.

[Donna]

Rijuta wrote: "Hi! Will this book Wolf Hall count for OPtion #1."

Yep. That works.

[Rijuta]

Thanks! :D

[Melissa]

Just want to verify if will work for option 1? Thanks!

[Donna]

Yes, it works.

[Katherine]

For number 3 will a book with 2 authors count? The book I'm thinking of (cannot currently remember the title) is an autobiographical account of the man's time in prison, what landed him there, etc. But it's by him and someone else, I'm guessing a journalist?

Sorry, but a dual authorship won't work because of how the task is worded.

"This must be a non-fiction account about the author’s own life."

[Trish]

Can I confirm that I can use this in Option 2: The King's Hounds?

[Donna]

Trish wrote: "Can I confirm that I can use this in Option 2: The King's Hounds?"

Yes, that works perfectly.

Please confirm genre "Science Fiction Fantasy" for Half-Off Ragnarok. Thanks!

[Donna]

Sci-fi Fantasy works. I noticed it is on the very bottom of the main page genres. So its all good.

[LouLouReads]

Please can you confirm Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers as Science Fiction?

[Amanda]

For Option 2, would Romantic Suspense work? The book is Mercy by HelenKay Dimon.

Thanks in advance!
