Kristie | 19686 comments I've got a question already! For #9 (Read a book where the title is in a script font on the cover. - Cannot be fonts that are italics. It must look like handwriting.), does the entire title need to be in cursive or will the majority of the title work. I was looking at The Bullet That Missed. "The Bullet That" is in script, but "Missed" is not.

The Bullet That Missed (Thursday Murder Club, #3) by Richard Osman

Yes, that will be fine.

Viji | 1595 comments 7. Four letters: School room furniture - [Desk (hide spoiler)]
Read a book where there is a character that is a teacher

Would The Cinderella Deal be acceptable for this task? A history professor features in this book as per the GR synopsis.

Thanks.

Janice (jamasc) | 60624 comments It will work, Viji.

Janice (jamasc) | 60624 comments Kristie, I told you True Biz would work for task 7 - teacher, it will also work for task 6 - set in Ohio.


message 13: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19686 comments Thanks, Janice. That's even better. I have a few books that would likely fit the teacher task.

I also found another book for the script writing (#9) that I may go with instead: Good Girl, Bad Blood
Good Girl, Bad Blood (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #2) by Holly Jackson

I just bought that one because I enjoyed the first book. Looking through my TBR, I have quite a few script fonts which surprised me.


message 15: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19686 comments I have a few script fonts as well. I also enjoyed the first book and I've been meaning to read the second for a while now.


message 16: by Viji (new)

Viji | 1595 comments Would Stilettos & Scoundrels ( Presley Thurman Mysteries #1) by L.C. Turner be acceptable for the task:
Read a book with someone wearing jeans on the cover?

BTW, many of the books in this series have the same woman (with the same dress) and dog but in different colors.

Thanks.

Sam (ecowitch) | 2393 comments Task 9 query: Read a book where the title is in a script font on the cover. - Cannot be fonts that are italics. It must look like handwriting.

Not sure why this didn't work above...

Pragya  (reviewingshelf) | 4188 comments For #9 (Read a book where the title is in a script font on the cover. - Cannot be fonts that are italics. It must look like handwriting.), does this work, Janice Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer ?

That's a much better example and it will fit the task. Weird that the like didn't work the first time you posted it.

No, sorry. It looks like printing and not handwriting. The letters are not joined like they would in script. See Sam's example of Unpassing for a good example of what I'm looking for.


message 26: by Sam (new)

Sam (ecowitch) | 2393 comments Awesome, thanks Janice :-)

I can only assume it was because it was a reply, that's the only bit that's different between the two. Odd though.

It is a good choice. It also works for Enviroment task (Puzzle 3).

Oh yes. Thanks for pointing that out, Viji.

Katrisa | 4568 comments For jeans do the whole legs have to be visible? Can I use Mercy Thompson?
Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, #5) by Patricia Briggs


message 33: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60624 comments That will be fine. There's no doubt about the fact that she's wearing jeans.

Viji | 1595 comments Task: Read a book where the title is in a script font on the cover

♞ Pat Gent I was going through my 2022 reads, and wanted to throw this title out there for the handwritten font task.

It was a good book and the title is kind of scripty

West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge

In case anyone is looking ...

Thanks, Pat. This also fits the coming of age and historical fiction tasks also.

Viji | 1595 comments Task: Read a book where the cover has flowers WITH stems

Could A Secret He Can't Keep A Small Town Opposites Attract Romance by Autumn Marks this be used for the above task?

Thanks.

Janice (jamasc) | 60624 comments Sorry. You can't see the stems because of the foliage.

Viji | 1595 comments Task: Read a book where the cover has flowers WITH stems

Would any one of the following work for this task?

1. The Flower Farm (Applemore Bay #2) by Rachael Lucas 2. The Blossom Tree of Dreams (Wishing Wood, #1) by Holly Martin 3. Love Blooms at Mermaids Point (Mermaids Point #3) by Sarah Bennett 4. The Little Cornish House by Donna Ashcroft

Thanks.


message 45: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60624 comments The only one that could work is Love Blooms. Here's an example of what I'm looking for:
About the Night by Anat Talshir

Viji | 1595 comments Janice wrote: "The only one that could work is Love Blooms. Here's an example of what I'm looking for:

Thanks, Janice. I will try to find something based on your suggestion. I think I could even use a cover with flowers in a garden where the flowers would definitely be with stems.


message 47: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60624 comments It's not that the flowers will have stems, but you must see the stems on the cover. Maybe it's a clear vase and you can see the stems through the glass.

Viji | 1595 comments Janice wrote: "It's not that the flowers will have stems, but you must see the stems on the cover. Maybe it's a clear vase and you can see the stems through the glass."

I have Beneath Crimson Clover (Wrenn Grayson, #6) by Connie Chappell and the stems could be seen on the left side of the cover.
Another book I have is Flowerbed of State (A White House Gardener Mystery, #1) by Dorothy St. James which has flowers with stems on the cover.

I also have Annie's Rainbow but unfortunately the cover is not shown on GR Book Main Page. The amazon.com link for this book is
https://www.amazon.com/Annies-Rainbow...

I also have Where Azaleas Bloom and the cover shown in amazon.in under the link is
https://www.amazon.in/Where-Azaleas-B...

These two fit very well with the suggestion you gave me. But I could not find the covers in GR book main page.

BTW, could someone help me about adding covers to books. Are there any Goodreads Librarians here?

Sorry about the long post. I am trying to find books for the tasks a bit late! hahahaha!

Thanks.

I think that is more what Janice was going for, if those are the covers you have.


message 50: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 60624 comments That's exactly what I'm looking for, if that's what you have for covers, Viji.
