We Have Till Dawn (We Have Till Dawn, #1) by Cara Dee"

Its borderline, but it does tone through in its own way and it is the title :)"

Shelby (stang_lee) | 1971 comments Jane would A Deadly Education (The Scholomance, #1) by Naomi Novik work? I wasn't sure if the border and title were too "gold" or if they fall in the brown/sepia tones.

Jean | 869 comments Hmmm what about this cover

Un bonheur imparfait by Colleen Hoover

Or

Wszystkie nasze obietnice by Colleen Hoover

They are same book just different covers.

Only asking because I need to read this book by next Friday anyway. I can certainly find something else if it doesn’t work.

Thanks

Before I opened to look more closely I wasn't sure they would work - but with brown added to make it a sepia option, they do. Both covers work.

Jane is this good for grey? Or is the model to dominant?

No good - too much model. And his colouring doesn't count for sepia :( Thanks for checking :)

Does It Hurt? by H.D. Carlton
The Truth in My Lies (Secrets of Suburbia, #1) by Ivy Smoak
The Perfect Wife (Jessie Hunt #1) by Blake Pierce

Hi C B - the first and last ones don't work. All the ones in between do. So, in order: books 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 are good.

Okay thank you so much! This helps!

P.S. I Loathe You by Isla Olsen

Its good. I said that titles in colour are OK :)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Just a reminder that next week is the second last call for this game.

As such, no-one call pull out of the challenge from tomorrow's call onwards. I don't think we have any players struggling to get their books read, so this is just a standard rule that I need to call out.

I know, it just felt like a lot of title on the cover and it seemed to get larger every time I looked at it. :D Thanks, Jane.


message 196: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Week 10

Option 1
13. Clear cut ©

* Read a stand alone book.


Option 2
Key date: 6 May 2022
Team mate read on or after this date and rated at least 3 stars
Series rule applies:
That is, if the book is in a series but does not match where you are up to, you may read another book from that same series



Option 3
Pass


A selection post must be made for whichever option you choose - INCLUDING A PASS
Refer msg 3 for formatting of all 3 options. This format is also in msg 3 of your team threads.


message 197: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Just to be absolutely clear (although I doubt you all need this), but your book selected to read this week should not be in any way connected with a series. That is, on the book page there should not be a series in brackets under the title ;)

This works: Unraveling the Threads of Fate
This does not: Up Ship Creek - this is part of a series, even though it can be read as a stand alone.

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments I'm going to call the final task for this round of Pass The Parcel at 3pm US EST .

For this last week, players who wish to use Option 2 will need to pick from a team that I post with the final task. That is, if you select option 2 it cannot come from your own teammates' shelves, but from a different team's players' shelves that I will specify in the final task call.

Option 3 (Pass) is not available in the last week.

All posts from prior weeks must be completed to be in the running to win. (No outstanding completions from prior weeks.) AND all your selection and completion posts must include all the necessary information required in msg 3 of each team's thread. I will not be letting you know if you have missed an element or the page numbers don't match the edition that you have posted, etc.

Finally - as one team has only 3 players due to circumstances beyond control in real life, we will have a slightly different finish.

** The winning team will be the first team to have all their books completed correctly (team 3) OR have four books completed correctly (all other teams).
This means that the large teams are not unfairly disadvantaged by small teams.

Once you think your team has won, someone needs to post IN THIS THREAD, that they have completed the task.
I will then check the posts to ensure they are correct. If they are not (and require correction) another team can nip in and claim the win if their posts are correct.
